I'm sure he will enjoy that. As a lone liver myself, I enjoy my own company 90% of the time, but I enjoy the odd meet up for chats too. I'm blessed with lovely walks around here and often bump into the regulars who I wouldn't class as the best of friends, but good and friendly acquaintances. Nice to chum them along on part of my walks occasionally.

I would happily go for another walk soon, but my feet are giving me a bit of grief so trying not to overdo it. If I could lose around ten pounds it would help, but it's stubbornly refusing to budge.

We have the edge of @Mo1959 's weather system here. I managed. few miles to keep me more or less on target for my 150 miles in a month. I am now 0.7 miles ahead of target!, but, I have promised Mrs @BoldonLad a shopping trip tomorrow, and, there are not many days in the month left to do my remaining miles.

I got confused and started getting up at 08:00, but then realised that I had only been asleep for 3.5 hours so I turned the lights off for another 2.5 hours!
I still feel groggy now but am slowly emerging into the day, which currently appears to be a damp and gloomy one here. I will probably make do with my quick lumpy 6 km loop on my singlespeed bike to pick up the Metro and some shopping.

What will she do with a cycle workshop - is she thinking of starting her own bike shop?
Dogged walked.
Lawns cut.
Anti cat/bird defences erected over my onion and garlic beds.
Going to have a veggie chilli for lunch and then settle down to watch the Billy Connolly film - The Man Who Sued God.
I saw it many years ago and thought it was pretty good.

Well that was an interesting and expensive visit to Shand. Seriously nice looking bikes, we both had a little spin on a Stoater and both thought it felt very nice indeed. They measured her up and discussed spec’s, Mrs F now placing an order. Another visit or two may be required for the fine details.

Second nature up here now. Whether it's making much difference, who knows. Even if it helps avoid flu and colds it would be worth it.I've been shopping

Same round here, they look at you like you're a freak if you've got one on. Mrs S and me still wear them in all shops regardless of what anyone thinks. We used to wear them to keep everyone else safe, now it's purely for our own benefit.I've been shopping

In the village they are quite good, but at the supermarket it seems the rules change, even my checkout lady wasn't wearing one according to the shop “it's up to them” crazy or what.
