Good morning. No apparent frost this morning and when I got the milk in the temperature felt better than yesterday.

It's a walking day with friends. Departure is 11.00 which is later than usual. We're only doing a five miler which starts and finishes Here We usually take a picnic and do 7-9 miles but it's too cold for sitting around with sandwiches so short walk and treating ourselves to a good pub lunch.

I'm part of the Zoe Covid study and have just signed up for three more studies covering heart disease, dementia and one on cancer which involves monitoring the gut "microbiome" basically the bacteria etc. which reside in the gut.

The gut one involves baking and eating a blue muffin coloured with blue food dye. Then one has to "monitor the transit through the gut." I think this is a polite way of saying check if your poo is blue. :laugh:

Sadly Chorley cases are still soaring. Little wonder I know so many people who are positive.

Morning. We have frost :cold:

Gosh I struggled on Wordle this morning but made it. Haven’t failed so far but no doubt it will happen one morning :laugh:
I got it in two! I'll tell you how it happened later ~ funny story. Yesterday it took me four though.

Anyway, good morning world. I hope all are keeping well. Last couple of days and evenings have been very busy, just with life and stuff, so precious little reading or sitting time. Today looks bright and cold here; cold enough for ice, so take excellent care out there.

We could compare Wordle stats on here without spoiling the daily game.

We could. I'm 100% but I'd have to check the thread to see how many I've played. Plus you'll have to believe me as I've cleared my cache which deletes Wordle history.:sad:

Got it in three today. I've had a few close shaves with failure recently.

Good morning folks,
It’s-3 at the moment, I think I’ll jump on the turbo this morning and ( virtually) cycle somewhere warm. Off to the theatre tonight to see “ Macbeth” ( should I have said “ The Scottish Play?”)
It’s being performed in a small studio at the local Arts centre, by a small troupe of ladies called “ The HandleBards”, as they cycle to their gigs.
I’ll be masking up and being extra cautious.
Stay safe and warm folks ☕️👍☀️

Morning folks :okay: i expect its icy again boo :rolleyes: Interesting to read about the strobing effect that happens when out cycling....certainly get it here when im peddling down the lanes which are lined with birch/rowan/willow and the sun is low, i dont suffer from epilepsy but wonder if it might trigger something weird Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds style :wacko:
Starting to get sore eyes from riding so thats my next thing to fix...a visor or goggles maybe :okay:

I have my browser set to clear all history when it shuts down. I've failed to complete wordle once so far.
 
C2985 or C2986?
That is a good question . I was unaware of which one or ones they were . The one in the picture is Heikki Kovalinen. I have 2 cars the second car is number 22 which I assumed was Lewis Hamilton's first F1 car when he was Fernando Alons's team mate . I have bought some spare parts the front and rear wings are either damaged or missing . The front wing is number 1 so could easily be converted into Lewis's car .
