Oops, yes forgot to add a Happy Burpday to Drago on my last post. 🎂

Good morning people. My world is a happier place today than last night's boredom. This is a good thing.

There has been frost, it's a beautiful sunny morning and birds are singing. At 10.00 I'm meeting a neighbour to help fell a small tree in his garden which overhangs my allotment. Another good thing.

Later I'm going to a garden centre to buy compost and seed. It is time to sow my seeds. Three good things for today.

How are the the Mrs Daves? @dave r @Dave7 and how is the wrist @Mo1959

Making progress, slowly, we appear to have the physio sorted now.

Blimey Kev....how many bushes does she have ???
You could just be the luckiest guy on here

Haha - yes indeed😂 unfortunately her bush has gotten quite out of hand recently and did need quite a radical trim. I’ve heard that trimming them right back seems to be quite fashionable.
Do I get my Finbar Saunders badge ?

Progressing slowly. Not quite up to gripping handlebars yet I don’t think.

Nice walk done and porridge finished. Big mug of Barleycup now. I should really drink more of that and less coffee if I can but I do enjoy my coffee.

Good to hear you are on the mend Mo 👍

I have risen!

Today is my Birthday, 52 years awesome. On the downside yesterdays covid jab bas done me in overnight. Knees and elbows ache and the arm that took the injection feels as if its done a tour of Afghanistan all on its own.

Happy Birthday - did you get some new undies

Mild misty morning with no wind. Looks like sun may come out soon.
Need to get some garden tidying done and household chores so just around the house today.

I have six bushes that need cutting back, three of them because they have got out of hand, but not till the clocks go back.

Happy birthday @Drago , the baby on this thread. You are far too young to be retired. Have a great day mate.🎂🎂

Happy Birthday @Drago

disaster today - after riding yesterday I forgot to put the ebike battery on charge - so it will take a few hours to charge

sooo - I could take my wife's folding ebike out for a run - or wait until mine is sorted

decisions decisions decisions

Hia Paul......thanks for asking, it really is appreciated.
MrsDs fatigue is slightly improved. She got up stairs last night without being on 'all fours'. She is still asleep.... thats 13 hours.
On a positive note she is really trying to eat and yesterday managed fruit n yogurt breckie and most of a crisp butty later.

Happy birthday @Drago.

Don't be silly.
More likely for you to have a grockle free beach

@Dave7, try plain chicken. Easy on the system, and easily made smaller.
