Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
What a gorgeous day here. I admit to falling asleep for an hour

No afternoon napping for me.
Second dog walk, out on the bike, a spot of fettling on my Audax bike, and then took the tops off of the radiators to give them a decent clean inside. The amount of dust and grottyness they collect is quite amazing. Then, cooked myself a chicken curry with the leftover chicken.
Now, settling down to listen to the football on the radio this evening.
Another busy day in paradise 😁

I thought you were being quiet following the blood's being taken. I didn't tag you to avoid putting any pressure on you to feel you had to answer.Has anybody missed me ??
No, thought not......story of my life.
Phone packed in last week. Tried all the google ideas with no success.
Took it to a repair shop today to find out it was a software problem. He was able to download a fix and bingo..... I am back on line.

I decided to say nothing till I was sure but our village was on the telly tonight. Canal Boat Diaries with Robbie Cumming. It's an interesting programme but if you only fancy seeing my patch start at 13:40, Johnson's Hillocks Locks through to the western edge of Blackburn is my bit. The model village he stops at is where I live.

I know the section from Wigan to Blackburn very well as I ride it often.

Good evening each, ( Beryl Reid, IIRC )
A warm and sunny day, ventured a bit further afield and ended up running 10K. I stopped for a brief natter with Pete, one of the guys I know through running. He was telling me he runs 5k three times a week, very respectable for an 88 year old
😎
Mrs Tenkaykev spoke with our daughter this evening, it seems like we're doing Vogrie parkrun on Saturday, it seems like we have a full calendar of eating out, watching the Rugby and catching up with friends and acquaintances. I'll probably need a holiday to get over the holiday when we get back!

Water main with a slight leak. It was filmed last summer at about 2.00pm judging by the angle of the sun.

On our terrace yes but not the cottages in the village square.

I just cropped my ALDI sign photos to see what they look like not zoomed out...
Normal lens:
Wide angle lens:
I am pretty impressed by those pictures considering they were quickly snapped with a handheld phone camera. I didn't change any settings or even focus on the sign, just switched between the 2 lenses.
A reminder of how bad my old phone camera was (I have cropped this photo to the same size. Lighting conditions were almost as bright.):
I will cycle back out there on a sunny day later in the year and take a similar picture with my new phone. I'll post the 2 pictures for comparison.
I can't see me using my dedicated Canon compact camera much now, and as for my old Olympus and Kodak cameras...

Morning. Wordle done and coffee finished. It’s a chilly start. Not much above freezing but dry so good for a walk soon. I’ll see how the legs feel once I get moving and decide whether to stick to the flat or go up the hill.

Good Day. A beautiful morning is dawning here in Lancashire. It's a granddaughter day so I'll begin preparing for her shortly.
I tweaked something in my back recently, probably just slept in an awkward position and it's getting steadily worse. Very uncomfortable.
Yesterday's ride didn't happen as I found an issue with the valves on my Cervelo and the Kinesis was already at the LBS for servicing. Long and the short of it is the apprentice installed the valve bodies incorrectly after putting in new tape and sealant. Unhappy with that but I did get a lot of allotment work done.
I must crack on..........
