GOOD MORNING VIETNAM or wherever you are.
Up at stupid O'clock again but had a good sleep.
Just enjoyed my coffee.
Heading out now to water all the bedding plants.....before it gets too hot for them.
I will also prune some roses although I have no idea what I am doing.
AND if I can get the lawn mower going I will do at least one of the lawns.
Breakfast will again be fresh strawberries and cherries.
Stay safe peeps.

I've got the box set Good morning Vietnam, 5 CD's of good music.

A brief Good Morning from me. Beautiful day here and it is clearly going to be VERY hot. Out on my first ride for three weeks as my cough hasn't appeared for two days, since Thursday night. I'm sorely tempted to join the group Mrs P calls the "big boys" - this is where I can hold the pace if I hide in the group and blow out of my arse for the entire ride. They're on a century today. More sensibly I'm going with the club ride which will be a good pace but one which means I can speak!!!!

Catch you all later. Have a good one.

Morning all

A day of good company, gluttony, beer, F1 and TdF is beckoning.

Morning. That was an interesting night. Dam hot it was. And whats all this talk of copulation. Careful men, that might give a few of the old duffers on here a bit of a funny turn.

Another hot one today I see.

Last day of the TDF I see.

Stay safe and cool peeps.

Morning. Another early spin up for a loop round Loch Earn. Bit more cloud this morning thank goodness so didn't get too warm. Nearly 40 miles and a smidgin off 200 for the week which is the most for ages. Easier week next week I think.

Few obligatory pics.

Lawns done.

@Dirk
Really pleased you have got back on your bike.
After 2 years off I am doubting ever getting back in the saddle.
However, I have had 2 good days and am wondering if its possible.
Will give it a week then decide.

Being an ex motor sport man myself, I enjoy the technical and tactical side of things.
Having an understanding of the sheer physical and mental effort required to perform well, makes it more accessible to me I presume.
I understand how it can be boring to some.

Morning all... Wow! it's hot already, I normally like my 30 degrees but even yesterday was getting too hot for me. Must be getting old!

Brilliant photos Mo as usual, nice to see the ti bike out

Had a great day on Friday, my daughter bought me..


...and my son bought me this about my old mate PP, @Drago has probably heard of him.


Mrs GM bought me a nice shirt which later in the evening got christened with tiramisu down the front

Stay cool folks!
