Morning. Eyes still a bit nippy but up in time to watch us getting another gold in the boxing and I heard Jason Kenny got a gold too. :smile:

Ah I see @Mo1959 is feeling better. Excellent start to the day. :okay:

Last night's decision not to set the "get up, go cycling" alarm proved a good one. If it was dark it would be November. Strong winds, lashing rain squalls and cold. Horrid.

Today? The chest freezer needs reorganising. I know, I know. I have a lot of produce to harvest and freeze so I must make space. Still have loads of soft fruit from 2020 so I'll try to give some away.

A few minor admin jobs to do. Mainly I must harvest stuff. I've enough Cavolo Nero to supply Tesco! Harvesting this is a pain, remove the central rib from every leaf and finely shred before freezing. Takes forever.

Morning folks ^_^ Received my new cycling helmet in the post yesterday, quite impressed, fits well, looks ok. I had been riding around in a baseball cap [im an old git/ old school] until my neighbour informed me i shall surely die a horrible death unless i get some bonce protection! ^_^ How i survived as a kid is a mystery....what with climbing trees/go-carts/rope swings, smoking crack hee hee only joking,,,,playing conkers in the school yard without full suit body armour....^_^ Anyhow i reckon i will still wear my cap down the single track roads as other vehicles are seldom and im more likely to end my days skewered by a Highland cow. I will wear it on the A9 though....dont want 'Killed by a Sodding Gurt Big Motorhome' on my gravestone! ^_^

I'd have told the neighbor to go forth and multiply and just carried on as usual, I've not used bonce protection for over fifty years.
