I bought 6 eggs from Aldi. My son had 2 of them today and both were double yolkers.
No longer sold by the half dozen!
 
Ride done
Wordle done - in 3 after some thinking (just in case - I can;t remember the word so that isn't a clue!!!!)
(I was accused of giving a clue on another thread a few weeks ago under similar circumstances - had no idea!!!)
Last of the solar powered floodlights put in the side passageway - seem to work really well - may get some more to replace thepowerful halogen ones we currently have

Now having a cuppa before deciding whether to go shopping or mow the grass

busy day!
 
I’ve been feeling very unsettled these days, the war, covid, the economy, the difficulty in getting any sort of healthcare appointments, all news seems to be bad news.
I have to say I’m mightily relieved to hear this afternoon that our mask wearing laws are staying in place for at least another couple of weeks, with the current infection rates it would have been madness to scrap them.

Well the Doctor phoned. Don't know how a blood sample shows this but she wants to check for bowel cancer so is arranging further tests......some anomalies with the liver apparently.
We shall see.

oops! I have had that happen to me. A couple of worrying weeks, whilst repeat/further tests done, all turned out to be a false alarm. Hopefully, same is true for you. Good luck and best wishes.

I'm still wearing a mask and will be for the foreseeable future. My parents are both old and I'm not risking catching it and passing on to them. I don't care what anyone else thinks or the strange looks some people give me (I've been used to that for years anyway).

Good morning all ( just) .
I took my bike to my LBS earlier and , as I expected, I need a brand new headset. Apparently, there was a recall on my bike of this model as the headset was prone to failure. Never had a call from Specialized about it though. Anyway, I will be getting it back on Saturday.
Lovely day today so might take my Trek for a ride this afternoon.
Have a lovely day every one.
Was this the Specialized Roubaix model of about 4 years ago ? I discovered the recall by accident on the web ,
got it done for free ( think it was T2 ) stamped on the new headset collar pinch bolt. Bike had 3 choices of headset shock absorbing with 3 different colour coded springs. The bike shop in UK I bought it from never informed me either . I hated the bike ( was the heavy Tiagra version ) and got rid of it quickly at a loss. First and last Specailized . The Rockshoc system was pretty useless I thought
