I've been for a walk, curry to follow

Ailing dog eventually made a very sudden recovery!

He had been lying around feeling very fed up until he heard the sound of his mistress at the front door. He went from stretched out and poorly to leaping up at the door in about half a second!

Only a hint of a limp now. Probably just a bit of a sprain.

Married at 21.....we had a bog down the yard and washed in the kitchen sink.
No moaning like some of todays whimps.......if that was all you could afford then you just got on with it.

You were lucky!!

It has been a nice family visit but I am looking forward to next week back oop north. The forecast is good so I must get out on my bike and make the most of it.

All I have to do now is to avoid catching Covid in the next 10 days before my booster jab.

When I lived in Aussie we had what they called a "night toilet" it was outside and the council came round at night to empty it

we are the night shite shifters shifting shite by night

Today’s walk was to take the bus into town then walk back via the canal basin, the West End, Dean Village, and the Water of Leith. Nice views of dippers and a grey wagtail. Several roars of the crowd as we passed near Tynecastle, away supporters I assume !

I didn't enjoy the curry, it was a Waitrose one bought for me, chicken in a sauce, no mushrooms or any vegetables
3/10 very poor

You'll not be buying another, adding what you now know is missing?
Or, was it that bad.

Narrow boating looks like a very peaceful way to travel, I've been on one

You might need to dress more often......

Been another wander as there’s rain forecast soon. It’s certainly clouding over now.

I might have a snuggle under the duvet later.

Is that some new type of chocolate biccy that I'm not aware of?

After 20 minutes the sun came out and stayed with us for the whole ride. Five minutes after getting home the rain started.

Who is it the sun shines on? 🤔 The righteous!

45 miles which I really enjoyed. First ride for 17 days and I was off the pace. 😢 I'm going to fix that. 15 avg is OK though.

On the beach might be a bit wet, and cold today.

Afternoon folks overcast today but that didnt matter as managed to get out for a spin. Was wondering if due to my inactivity lately whether my leg strengthening work would be going in reverse...alls well managed my hills in the usual gears Bar end mirror works a treat and can see cars approaching from quite a distance. Still feeling guilty after giving the unwarranted bad feedback though...

No it was that bad, I suppose I just like my home made ones
