Morning. Today for me is probably a bike ride, shower, clean my bike (as it has to go to the bike hospital tomorrow) then slobbing around watching the TDF.

Stay safe folks :hello:

I always feel we pensioners should support each other, especially the male of the species because life is tricky. We try, we try very, very hard but well, you know how it is, no matter what you do.........I once had my milk bottle washing criticised........not sure what it was I did to deserve that one......🤔

On this occasion I'm afraid I have to agree with Mrs. EBW. Standard practice here, gloss then emulsion. If a mistake is made it's easier to wipe emulsion off gloss.

I won't say anything, promise.

Hello. Bright and breezy. That's the weather sorted. Feels like the cough has improved, we shall see.

I've put a white wash on.....Mrs P is still sleeping and coughing. 'Twas so bad last night she disappeared to the spare room. This cold is a bugger to shift.

I will go for a haircut as I'm looking a touch more disreputable than usual. After that pottering on the allotment.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

There was a certain way to clean the milk bottles I'll have you know and men generally never did it right. They always did a half a***d job :laugh:

Morning all :hello:

A haircut is first on the agenda - a quick whizz over with a #3 will do the job.
Off to explore the brand new LIDL store in Barnstaple this morning. This means that Barnstaple now has 3 LIDL stores! Yes.....3!!
One of them is due to close as the site is needed for re-development, which is the reason they built the new one. A new ALDI will be opening opposite the new LIDL soon.
Currently, the large stores in Barnstaple are 3 LIDL, 2 Tesco, 1 Sainsbury, 1 Asda, Iceland, 1 ALDI soon to open plus several smaller supermarkets including Tesco Express, Co-Op, Spar, Premier etc.
Where do the get all of their customers from with a population of less than 100,000 in North Devon? :eek:

Good morning all, bright and sunny here. Forecast is for lots more sun and up to 21° for several days :smile:
Yesterday was a mostly cloudy but enjoyable trip down to Dawyck, followed by catching up with the Tour. Mitch Docker a very welcome addition to The Cycling Podcast this week.
Today a little spin on the bike, followed by more Tour.
