Left you feeling a bit blue?

I remember reading about this at the time. Glad the judge saw fit to hand out a half decent sentence, no matter the drivers age.

Surprised mine isn't asking if I'm still alive! I do enjoy my gadgets though. Currently wearing an Apple Watch on my right wrist and a new Garmin Epix on my left.

Careful Mo you might be assimilated by the collective

Hello.
I decided to have a quicky this morning so:
I rode her hard
Grunted a few times
was pleased with my stamina
eased off a bit at the end.

When I got home, I looked at my Garmin and it showed 16 miles done so pleased with that.


You lot have a dirty mind haven't you?

Have you still got your Fenix as well?

I know who it was but saying nothing.

@PaulSB If you are able to do these concealed spoiler thingies, can you let me know what the bottom right answer to Quordle was as I was damned if I could get it even with 4 letters so failed.

Wind has dropped to what it was and the rain went off so I got a puddly riverside trail walk done. We may have snow to wake up to tomorrow.

If you go for your usual walk tomorrow you might be well advised to see if you can source pair of those heave boots that deep sea divers wear.Should help you keep you feet on the ground in the forecast winds.

While your at it see if you can get the accompanying hard hat.You never know how painful to be hit by a flying is travelling at 80 MPH

Interesting the spoiler doesn't work on my phone but does on the laptop. You see @Mo1959 for you I even fired up my laptop!

Now I've done something very unusual for me. No, it's not arrestable. Made a pot of tea at 8.30. Yesterday I went shopping and had to pop in to Booths for a few bits one can't get elsewhere - well one can in M&S but I refuse to shop there. Sadly I can't afford to do all our shop in Booths much as I would love to. It's usually worthwhile looking round for the yellow labels but Booths leave them scattered all around the store. Anyway before you all fall asleep. I spotted eggs reduced from £4.65 for ten to £1.25. These are organic, free range, hand reared, music played to, petted twice a day from Lancashire's finest chickens. You can see why we can't afford to shop in Booths on a regular basis. I doubt even Waitrose in Chelsea sell eggs for 46.5p each!!!!

I thought those will be good boiled with toast then this morning I had another thought, tea, toast, marmalde, scrambled eggs..... They were delicious, deep orange, almost red yolks. Those chickens did a damn fine job.

OK, you can all get on with your day now. I'm off to iron.

I have only been in Booths in Keswick. Not for shopping for their scrumptious breakfast.

Lol .After scanning though some of the other threads on this forum you would thought they would have been far too busy to visit this haven of niceness, where people in general go out of their way NOT to upset other people.
Personally I think someone has dobbed us in to the teacher 😂😂😂😂😂😂😀😀

This is the only thread I ever visit ( when I have time from looking after Her Indoors etc ) on this forum , always enjoy everybodys contributions and the wit, good humour and general "haven of niceness " as you so aptly describe it , do miss teasing Drago a bit though ( , maybe he will reappear soon ! ). Better to be interested in real live people than looking at coronation street fictional folk etc

@classic33 has already shown the 'long way' of doing it. I am on my phone. Let me see if the menu version works...

Spoiler: I think so...

YES!!

 

[Dirk]

Walked down to other side of village to pick up the car.
He's done a good job on it - you'd never know it had been hit by a Transit van.
Came home 600 quid lighter.
Money well spent.

Spoiler tags from a phone... Click on the vertical row of 3 dots just to the right of the 'post image' icon. Then click on the icon of an eye with a diagonal bar across it.

Three mile run completed, very slow on the way out into the wind and rain but a PB on a segment on the way back 🙂

The only trouble with those (inline spoiler blocks) is that my normal reaction is to think 'WTF is that!', click on them, and discover that they are spoilers revealing something I didn't want to know in advance!
