Good for you and your missus, Drago.
After 5 weeks my sunglass lenses are in and hopefully they will fit my frames.
Mrs. 12 had the second half of her second cycle of chemo yesterday and felt pretty good yesterday. Ate a huge lunch, including a cocktail, and ordered pannetone and truffle tomato basil soup to take home. Had lots of energy left to share YT things of monkeys, dogs and other amusing things. One more chemo cycle and we will have an idea if this particular chemo is working as it should.
While still a little smoky it is a very nice day with temps from 12 to 30 C although it will be windy later.

Hope the improvements continue.

Lunatic cyclists can join Les Cinglés du Mont-Ventoux (riders who do all 3 ascents in one day)!

Blimey, some truly certifiable cases riders do that TWICE in one day!

this?

How does that compare to the one it's replacing?

I don't know. The lines were disconnected at 8.00am and still disconnected at 5.30pm.

The pole was up at 7.00pm and two guys in a cherry picker were reinstalling lines at that point.

Shopping trip planned for 0800.....1st to Aldi then on to HomeBargains.
This afternoon I have to take the auntie to the podiatrist. It used to be MrsDs job but I seem to have inherited it.

Good morning folks.

The yoga class or the tablet? This Yoga class is more exercise oriented, more of a workout than the last one, the last one was gentle and more easy going, they both achieve the same thing though. I don't pick up the tablet until tomorrow so I wont know about the tablet till then, the old tablet went back to yesterday and Amazon have already issued the refund.

Good morning all, another grey start here.
Enjoyed a good day out on the bike with Mrs F, over the bridge and west along the Fife coast. A murky start but the sun came out soon after entering Fife. A lovely warm and sunny picnic on a bench in the historic town of Culross, then retraced. Heading back across the bridge it was still in a thick blanket of mist with clear blue sky above, across to our left the tops of the rail bridge were just showing above it, across to our right the spans of the Queensferry Crossing where shining through it. It felt quite magical

Morning. A misty, murky start here and nearly 5 miles walked and muesli just finished. The sun is already trying to break through but hopefully not to be quite as hot as yesterday. Getting my hair cut at 5pm so nice and short again to help keep me cool.

Morning all

Off to Barnstaple this morning. MrsD wants to go to B&M for some reason. I might pick up a few bags of golden gravel if they are still doing their 3 for £10 offer.
