I’ve stuck The Green Planet on. It’s usually interesting.

@PaulSB keep us posted on your search. I’m on the look out for a reliable ( non exploding when charging) replacement battery pack . I’m very wary of the Ebay Chinese battery packs .

Will do. I've emailed the UK distributor for Lezyne and hope they can help.

Sometimes I’m never sure as I’m afraid the sense of humour in the prison service would be frowned upon in other circles.

My lad's an officer in YOI and I'm sure you know what they're like, you need that sense of humour and I genuinely think the World is a poorer place without it.

It can be easy to offend people I believe. 😉

No idea tbh

We don’t get LS around here. We get a very few green but I’ve just looked them up and they rarely drum. So a GS in all probability 👍

And that's how I ended up with a portion of Sticky Toffee Pudding that was about the size of a half housebrick! After a mile walk back from the pub I'm just about ready for a nap.

Hmm - I wouldn't mind tackling that!




Oh dear, I've just had an embarrassing flashback...

I once had a meal in Keswick with my girlfriend and stepdaughter. We'd been out walking on the fells all day so I was really hungry, but the food took ages to arrive. As a result, the 2 pints of strong lager I drank went straight to my head and I was chuckling merrily as we ate the main course.

We liked the look of the Sticky Toffee Pudding, so when the waiter came over and asked about desserts I announced in a slow, thunderous, slurring, crowd-silencing voice - "My... girlfriend... would... love... a... big... stiffee.............. er, tocky pudding!

It was a repeat. That’s the new one on now.
I enjoyed Around the World in 80 days.

Do you think they make any difference? I'm not convinced.

Mrs Salad had trouble with a knee years ago, and doctor suggested that they would be beneficial, so she started taking them. Her knees still give her a bit of pain from time to time but by no means all the time.
I cannot offer any real evidence of efficacy. However, she thought it worth a try, and, as I was having problems with a shoulder, I started taking them too.
At about £4 for 90 tablets they don't break the bank and I feel they keep some of the aches and pains away.

Just done today's Wordle - SCARY - just snuk in on the last line!!

anyway - cottage pie for tea tonight
we have an arrangement - I make the pie - my wife does the gravy to go on it

Also had visitors - brother-in-law plus partner and son came round

strange to have visitors - only son and his family have been here since the start of Covid - yesterday SIL came round - today BIL

not sure I can cope with all the excitement!!!

I put in “ SCARY” hoping to solve it in one, but it said it was the wrong word😁
Did manage to get it in three today, more by luck than judgement.

Apparently, Boris WAS interviewed by the police about the 'work parties' at Downing Street...

We had a "leaving do" held at the Town Hall, for someone who decided the measures used, locally, for the last two years, before they moved to pastures new.
