Finally got some precip, first rain then a skiff of snow. Praps a bit more this morning.
My neighbor suggested I try "Niko Niko running" while waiting for a green light on biking from my doc. I used to run many years ago but whenever I start it up my aches and pains make me quit before I get conditioned to the point I enjoy it. This low speed, low impact style of running on the balls of the feet may just work. I will give it a try later when l get some mail up to the mailbox. I have recently read that moderate cardio exercises are better than resistance training to burn off blub. That may be true but maintaining muscle mass and strength, particularly upper body and core, are also important.
Be safe and well.

That is uncomfortably true!

I went for a gentle (socially-distanced!) stroll a couple of hours ago to get my Metro and saw a young woman walk out of an alleyway while texting on her phone. She was oblivious to 2 women who were walking side by side chatting and crossing her path at 90 degrees. They both had to stop dead so she didn't walk into them and she then crossed about a foot in front of them without even noticing that they were there. I made eye contact with them and the 3 of us slowly rolled our eyes and shook our heads in unison... :wacko:

A productive afternoon on the allotment which is now ready for the season. I'll sow those extra brassicas tomorrow.

I've surveyed my wood store. 🥺 I reckon what we have split will last the month. The logs I have stacked for splitting will not be enough for next winter. I now need to find a 🌳 or perhaps two 🌳 🌳

The million £ premium bond person has not visited........again

I have been told to grow up.........

Mrs P popped round to a neighbour's to borrow some Blu Tac. What she returned with is white.......all I did was state the bleedin' obvious.......
That's what my then girlfriend said when her daughter told her how embarrassed she had been when I complained to the checkout woman at Hebden Bridge Co-op that she had charged me for the free range eggs... :whistle:

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

Anyway it's Friday, G&T time, quiz night in an hour and I have put on my favourite shirt, as one does. I'm now going to peruse the RLE route.


I was given a nice Gin from 2 of my grandsons. It's quite nice.
