:hello: Good morning family are here later. I've an interesting job to do at some point, we have a leaky stopcock in the kitchen, its causing a damp problem, but its behind a fitted unit so I'm going to have to work out how to get the unit out or the bill to replace it is going to be horrendous

Barnet,
Good morning all from a frosty Barnet.
I'm going to get a nice big pot of vegetable soup on the go a little later this morning. I have found some tired stuff in the fridge that will make a great soup.
Our daughter is coming over this morning, she wants to go for a walk with the dog as it is going to be a nice day.
I'm struggling a bit with the jigsaw, but it will not beat me.
Enjoy your day everyone :cuppa:

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Morning. Another one with coffee. I don't like tea. I have a Dulce Gusto coffee machine. I don't use it very often though.

We had rain sleety stuff overnight but its 4 deg and feels like 1 deg at the moment.

There is a pesky squirrel on the bird feeder. It must be new as none of the other squirrels bother trying to get the food out of It. This one is a bit stupid :laugh:

Stay safe peeps:hello:

Don’t tempt me! Lol. The old exercise bike just doesn’t do it for me as it can’t connect to anything. I need the motivation of being able to hook up to some software and a decent screen I think. I love the Hydrow Rower which has a big 22” screen and virtual courses, training with instructors, etc but it has a £38 per month subscription for that which seems way too high. It’s a lovely bit of kit though.

Many years ago a friend gave me a turbo trainer. It was the type that has a lever that you mounted on the handlebars of your bike to mechanically increase resistance. It was rubbish and I only used it a couple of times before passing it on to someone else.
Managed to get a “ wheel on “ smart trainer last year and got on with it really well, we took out all the trial subscriptions to the various cycling apps before finally settling on Fulgaz. Upgraded to a JetBlack Volt earlier in the year, the type where the turbo replaces the rear wheel. It’s great to be able to follow routes in all parts of the world and even try various stages of Le Tour in glorious weather whilst outside it’s hissing down 😎

Back safely. I wore my Inov8 Arctic Claw shoes. Once I learned to trust them and relax and walk normally rather than like a constipated duck I was fine. :laugh:

Once I got to the trail beside the river and it was better underfoot I did a few short sprints to get the ticker working.
