Good morning all, a bit dull here today.
Many congratulations Mr & Mrs @Dave7 , enjoy your day 🥂

Not me this time…..more FlickoftheElbow’s territory

Didn’t notice a thing . Apparently it was centred around Penicuik, only 5 miles away.

I have risen!

Good morning folks,
An exciting day lies ahead ( although autocarrot originally suggested “ exiting” 😮 ) Blue bin, veg box, organised walk, trip to Decathlon to collect a new 9 speed cassette, and a detour to “ The Cat “🍺
The overnight rain has left the lavender looking lush and smelling divine.
Have a peaceful day folks 👍

@Dave7 Congrats to you and Mrs Dave. Enjoy your day.

I have bimbled as the weather is due to break down later and we might have rain by afternoon. Just took the hybrid. Stopped for a seat on a bench on the outskirts of the village I grew up in.

Well, I have mowed the lawns . Just finished as it started to rain......2 hours earlier than forecast which means I won't get my planned walk in.
Happy to get the lawns done as 5 warm days with rain will soon make it over grown.

It's supposed to be raining here right now and will stop Thursday but so far they have told lies. Dull and overcast but no rain

My plans for the day have been put on hold. We've ordered a new Turbo Trainer to replace the Elite Novo Smart. It's coming via DX deliveries and the tracking Email says " Scanned one item onto delivery vehicle " that was in Westbury at about 02:30. There's no further update and there's no text messaging or App to track progress.
That will be my next project, setting up the new turbo, it's supposed to be silent ( apart from the drive train )
Fingers crossed 🤞that it arrives early -ish, I've got my heart set on the Pub 🍺

I had a look at it on a YouTube review yesterday. Nice piece of kit. Sadly, I detest indoor cycling but it looks good if you enjoy it.

When it starts raining here depends on which weather forecast I read, according to the BBC it should be raining now, it isn't, but its very dark, according to the XC weather forecast its due at one.

Morning It rained here at about six Didn’t last long

Must be a farmers joke. He's put a herd of dairy cattle in the field where the chemical waste point is.
Had to push my way through a bunch of Daisy Moos to empty our bog.
