I went jogging naked and was mistaken for Jake the Peg.

3C at 7:30 this morning but will top out at 20C this afternoon. Clear and just a little breezy and this kind of weather all week. The trees are changing and this is my favorite time of the year. Later this morning I will get my 20 miles in paying the storage fee of $120/mo for 200 sq ft of storage.
In the last month or so I have list a phone, my checkbook and a pair of specs. If it isn't gone already my mind is next. Need to focus on the present, I suppose.
When I was contemplating retiring l compared the annuity takehome vs the net from the job. They were very close so that did it.
Once I had a mgmt meeting in Greeley Colorado, a smelly place known for huge feedlots and meat processing plants. I took my bike and went for a ride in 38C heat on some rural roads after the day's meeting when I was passed by a tanker truck loaded with liquid pig manure and which had an open hatch. Both myself, water bottle and bike were anointed with the contents which it were slopping out as it went. The bike, bottle and I enjoyed a shower when I got back to the motel. As it is written, S*** happens.
Be well and safe and beware manure trucks.

Went for a wander to pick up a couple of things from Screwfix. On the way back I saw three white doves playing around a puddle in the road.

Is there a baby one hiding behind the two adults?

Windy, sunny and a touch cool here.

Hot off the press and from a friend who should know. Refrigerated products could be the next major shortage. My advice:

1. Panic buy six fridges
2. Panic buy butter, cheese, milk, yoghurt, creme caramel, chicken, lamb, pork, beef, fish and anything else you can find
3. DON'T PANIC!

You can use the calculator HERE to calculate these things. A friend of mine who lives locally is a couple of years older than me, already getting his pension, and also rents, so I know that the numbers are right.

Thats a good calculator Colin.

You're a bit late with this one, the local Tesco's I use has been short of mixed veg, peas, garlic kievs and beefburgers for weeks. I was suprised to find mixed veg and peas back in stock when I went in this morning, I'd been going to the B & M in Jubilee crescent to get my veg.
