Morning all.
Today we are having the flooring done in the extension bathroom. We are having "vinyl click" in a grey wood effect.
I will post a picture (and bore you) when its finished.
Got some paper work to wade through.
May get another 2 mile walk in.....and call in for a pint.

Hellooooooo? Is there anyone in? Coooeeee? Nope. Oh well.
The sun is shining and we look set for a glorious day. Forecast for Thursday and Friday is wet, wet, wet. (he hums a little ditty) so the decision to make loads of domestic appointments seems a good one.
I had my GP consultation by phone yesterday. It's about the slight boney growth in my ear. I now have a face to face appointment on Friday so she can look in my ear before referring me to a clinic. OK I understand but the Boots audiologist says this is needed, it would save time and money if I just got the referral.
It's so lovely the pensioner gang are heading out for a day on gravel bikes. Picnic needs packing!
Have a good one!

Good morning folks, a bit of an adventure this afternoon, we're down the hospital so my Good Lady can have a blood test, on the bus it take an hour, if I could take her in the car it takes half an hour, less than that if its quiet.

Good morning all, another bright and sunny start here.
An email from Ernie this morning telling me of £25 being reinvested.
Pleased to see that face masks are being retained. I wonder if the relaxation on meeting and distancing rules will allow the dentist to start offering check ups again ? October 2019 was my last one

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Morning. Cool here at the moment. Not a lot to report apart from that.
Stay safe folks

Salut tout le monde. Long ride planned this morning so I will be away for 4 to 5 hours. I am going to Betws-y Coed which will be a 40 to 45 miles return ride, up and down all the way so I will take the Cube as it has a 32/34 set up and I will need it. 
The sun is shining and the sky is blue so today it is then as it is forecasted bad weather for the rest of the week as from tomorrow.
Have a good day everyone and see you all later.

I've been for a bimble this morning, my Brinklow loop, 25 miles. With the schools being off I was able to get an early start, out by half eight and home just after ten. A bright sunny morning with a bit of a blustery breeze that warmed up nicely as the ride progressed, I was in summer tights and a light long sleeved jersey and overdressed by the time I was half way round. In Monks kirby the wellies nailed to the fence outside the Denbigh Arms are looking lovely, they put them up for the kids to plant up with flowers and they've now got a nice display. That was an enjoyable ride out on the bike.

We had Epson before and it worked quite well apart from the inks that's why I want to go with the bottles. Time for a gander I think
That Epson uses bottles.

Puzzle game procrastinator!
I was up early today by my standards (after only 4.5 hours sleep) to go for an AAA ultrasound scan at Todmorden health centre.
I probably wouldn't have bothered to have the scan if it were not for the fact that my brother-in-law was found to have developed an AAA when he had his scan a few years back. The problem has got worse and he will need surgery soon. That was enough of a warning to prompt me to be sensible for once and have my scan done.
The technician took quite a long time to complete the procedure. She kept pressing the probe on my belly and stroking it up and down trying to get a good picture of what was going on in there. I became aware of the fact that the tin of beans I'd eaten last night was trying to fight back - she was effectively massaging a fart out of me!
I asked if there was a problem and she replied "Buwal gars". [Covid-masks and dodgy hearing are not a good combination!] "Pardon?" "Bewel gus" I had a puzzled look on my face... "BOWEL GAS!" "Ah, yes, and if you keep pressing my belly like that it will escape and we will have to clear the room!" Chuckles...
Eventually, she managed to get a clear picture of the abdominal aorta. All is okay, and no future scans will be needed!
PS She showed me the scan. Gas in the bowel shows up as a big black area on the screen so she'd needed to get the probe at the right angle to see round the swollen gut to the aorta.

Very nice, apart from the pylons in one picture! We have some routes like that round here, minus the sea views. I must fix the problems with my mountain bike and start doing those rides again.
