Morning. Looks dry out so ok for a wander soon.

No letters on first guess in Wordle and only 1 in the second but got there. :laugh:
Yep, and it looks like a great move! I think I know your first yellow, then the first green so it was an excellent jump to the answer.

Good day. It's just started to rain and the forecast is not exactly positive! 80-90% chance of rain till 3.00pm. Today's choice is to head out for a solo ride which means hard climbing or a walk with the local U3A group. I'll probably go walking as I can keep dry walking whereas on the bike it's a guaranteed three hours of being wet. I gave my walking boots their bi-monthly deep clean yesterday, hopefully the Nikwax has done its job on the Goretex tongues which had started to let a little water in - when fully submerged in a puddle I found last time out!!!!! I get a lot of pleasure from cleaning my boots, just like my bikes. Mrs P says I'm very sad.......................and then requests I clean hers! :eek:

Speaking of walking boots. I need to invest in a pair of quality summer boots. My winter boots, Meindl, are great but too hot in summer plus we're going hiking in California next autumn so I need something much lighter. I have very broad feet and need good ankle support. I already wear Meindl so obviously happy to pay for quality. Any suggestions?

BIG night ahead! The mighty Rovers are at West Brom. #1 son and I are going to The Hawthorns. This is a huge game for Rovers, we badly need to bounce back after two defeats, WBA have the Brucie Bounce factor with their new manager. I am nervous. Long time since we've been away, April 2018 to Doncaster, shows you how we are starting to feel. It peed with rain that day as well and we won..........I'm looking for every positive!! :laugh:

Barnet,
Good morning all.
Failed miserably at wordle. Nothing in the first row, 2 in the second, but in the wrong place. Then down hill from there.:blush:
The bin lorries have been down nice and early.
No rain is forecast for today, but it will be cloudy.
A pootle out on the bike to keep the legs ticking over, and a few more bulbs to dig up from the front garden before the builders start on the driveway later this week.
Enjoy your day everyone.

Morning all :hello:

Car's booked in tomorrow to have the rear door panel straightened out. A van did a hit and run on it just over 2 years ago and I've finally decided to get it fixed. It's a cosmetic job but will cost me around £600. So .... I'll be car less for a couple of days.
Off to LIDL this morning to do a big shop.

Good morning folks,
Sunny this morning so I’m heading out for a walk.
Tickets booked for our journey to Edinburgh next month, were going via London and Southwell to visit family on the way up, overnight sleeper on the way back.
Would have been my dad’s birthday today so I’ll be phoning big and little sisters later for a nostalgic natter.
Have a peaceful day folks ☕️☀️👍

Good morning all.
Very wet here again, rained most of the night and still is.
I have to be in Wrexham by 11 am this morning ( 45 miles away) so will be leaving around 9.30 so I don't have to rush.
I will be stopping at my son's on the way back before heading home too.
Cycling is unlikely to happen this week as the forecast is wind and rain all week.
Have a good day everyone.
