Morning all....Don't know why I'm awake this early. Something must be playing on my mind, perhaps it's because it's Friday 13th 
Hope the doctors right Dave7
Have a good day folks!

Good morning. It's a beautiful start to the day if a touch breezy - we're heading to that time of year when we must accept headwinds!
Happy to report yesterday's allotment work was very successful. One compost bin repaired, completed heap turned and covered to finish the process, new heap started, shallots cleaned and stored, broccoli plants removed and bed prepared for autumn showings, onions weeded, tomatoes and peppers tended to, grass cut, asparagus tied up. All looking good!!
Tomorrow I plan to tidy the shed and woodstore.
Today??? It's a cycling day. My buddy for today did a crazy route yesterday so we plan a 50/60 mile bimble. He's training for next year's LEL. He did ask me to join him on this, I said yes. Then I spotted the training he's doing and I pulled out. I had to admit I couldn't commit to months of putting in a minimum of three 100+ mile rides a week, some of 150. Just doesn't fit my life.

Morning all. Seems to be bright here. Let's hope it stays that way.
The bin men didn't show up yesterday so maybe we will have the excitement of see ing the bins emptied today.
Stay safe peeps.

Yay...it's Fish Friday!
Meeting up with best mates and having fish & chips on Minehead sea front.
Had a phone call yesterday from a best mate from 50 years ago, hadn't seen or heard from him for 25 years! Apparently he'd bumped into a mutual friend in a Birmingham pub last week and got my contact details. Spent 50 minutes on the phone whilst MrsD went shopping. Great to catch up and we've arranged to meet up again sometime. He was like a brother to me in my late teens and we were both GPO telephone engineer apprentices. Some bad news always comes with renewing old acquaintances - found out that one of our old gang died 4 weeks ago.

Good morning all.
An overcast start to the day here.
I have a meeting of the escape committee later at the Mitre.
Our son is collecting his bike from the shed today, so I got it out earlier and the front tyre has a slow puncture . So once again my skills with the tyre levers will come to the fore.
Enjoy your day folks.

Monday: Rode 115 miles from Wirral to Pwllheli, stayed 2 nights at a friend's very nice static caravan, had a bit of alone time to think about stuff (I think in the corporate world they would call that "time to process" 🤢 ). Had my kindle with me, read some books.
Wednesday: Rode the 115 miles back home again.
What really struck me was as I was nearing home I suddenly realised that I didn't have to start thinking about "back to work" and all that guff and suddenly felt extremely happy and lucky!
Fully rested now, back out on the bike shortly for some battle with winds!
