At least I mix it up a bit...
- Earwax, earwax, earwax... annoying when learning bass guitar
- Sore hips, stiff neck, back pain... make long distance hilly Pennine bike rides hard work
- Forgetfulness, fuzzy head, confusion... slow down puzzle game app development
Set it to music, add a few more verses and you'll have a number one before Easter.

Through Kitchens, up to Cow Ark - I like that one and usually ride it a couple of times a year. We did it on the Forest of Bowland forum ride last year.
Another one I like is to start to head N from Cow Ark towards Whitewell but take a right onto the lane heading NE towards Newton. Cross the B6478 just above Newton and carry on NE to rejoin the B6478 over there. Take a left and drop down into Slaidburn.
I know my local roads well enough but the area I cover is wider than my detailed knowledge so I plan precise routes and create GPX files for me and other riders to use. I like there to be at least one other person with the route on a GPS for backup. We usually stick to the exact route planned except when something prevents that.
We had the emergency services block one road once because of an RTA on our route so we had to improvise a diversion. I have whole-GB OS maps on my phone at all useful scales so I can quickly use those to work out alternatives. It has happened a couple of times due to major roadworks too. It is normally possible to sneak through, but I came across one case where the road had ceased to exist and was being dug up to create an industrial estate. In Devon, the route of an old road had been turned into new quarries, and the old quarries into a new road!
Just back from the park with the grandson. We took turns at being in goal while the other tried to score from various distances. We then had a race around an obstacle course followed by a go on the Zip wire where I used the stopwatch on my phone to see who was fastest, finished with a go on the swings and see saw, unfortunately the slide was a bit too small for me. This was all, of course, in the interests of science as we were investigating the various laws of physics 😁
A bit worn out now, but it was great fun 👍

Volvo V70 D5 SE lux impulse purchase. Same 185 motor as my XC90, but nearly half a ton lighter so goes like the clappers. Picture in the Volvo thread.
I don't need it, actually dont have much use for it, but it was a low mileage gem and i couldn't control my urges.
I was fearing the ire of Mrs D but she says she quite likes it!

It is pretty normal for (abnormal!) folk around here too!
Actually, it has been remarkably mild here today so I would have been happy wandering about dressed like that. Maybe not sitting around outdoors doing nothing, but keeping moving, yes.
I went to Penzance** one Christmas and we went to St Ives on Christmas Eve. I was wearing shorts and tee shirt that day because it was about 16 C.
** Yes - I do know that is in Cornwall... It's all the SW, innit!

I guess you mean Twitter Lane which comes out opposite the Red Pump at the far end? It has it's uses when we want to circumnavigate Waddy Fell but usually we go over Waddy, down towards Newton, left for Cow Ark then head for Birdy and Ribchester. It's a great ride. Last summer we went over Cow Ark and it was so hot the tarmac was melting!!
