Started young, and still going.
Good morning from a sunny Barnet. :sun:
Today's highlight is the Sainsbury's delivery between 9 and 10am.:laugh:

Wordle in 5:okay:

Domestics, dog walking and a bimble out on the bike for a while, possibly via the Mitre on the way back for an ale or two.
I will then watch the last hour or so of the Giro.

I have a new chain to put on my touring bike. After throughly cleaning it a couple of weeks back, it is now jumping and skipping. I checked it with a chain checking tool and it is worn past it's limit. Must of been all the muck taking up the slack.:laugh:

Tonight there is a rather important football match to watch on the telly. ⚽

That's my day in a nutshell. Of course, other things will arise as I go along.

Enjoy your day everyone. :cuppa:

I agree.

Why not have 184 people win £1 million each?

The answer must be that people no longer consider £1 million enough to get excited about, or at least that lottery organisers think that is the case.

I would keep (say) £14 million to spend on comfortable homes for myself and my nearest and dearest, money put to one side for maintenance on those properties, and invest enough for any normal future care needs for all of us. The younger ones could then choose jobs that they liked without having to worry too much about how much they were paid. The older ones could retire in comfort without any financial worries.

I would enjoy working out exactly what good causes to invest the other £170 million in!


That sounds like a plan.

Morning. I did look in much earlier but never posted. Gosh, it's still very chilly here. I went out with just a micro fleece top on thinking I might jog for a bit but the legs didn't feel up to it so just kept walking instead and ended up doing 9 miles and never warmed up.

Puzzle game procrastinator!
Yikes, what time is this?!! :wacko:

I actually heard my pal moving around upstairs for once. I got out of bed to say goodbye to her. It is her birthday tomorrow but I won't be seeing her again until next week.

Scrambled head again after only 3.5 hours sleep but I have a blood test booked for this morning so I might stay awake now and snooze afterwards.

Off to Specsavers later this morning as we both have eye tests.
If you have any problems with earwax, you might like to know that they now offer a degunking service at many branches. I thought about going to my local one because my ears feel clogged up and my hearing is getting worse.

Oh, I just discovered why I couldn't hear the clicks from my tablet screen keyboard... 'Do not disturb' was enabled until 09:30 to stop emails waking me up. Ok, not quite as deaf as I had feared! :laugh:

:hello: Coooeeee.......hello.......anyone at home? Did you mean to leave the backdoor open?

Ah well. Looks like a beautiful and breezy day is dawning in wonderful Lancashire. Today is bits 'n' pieces as housework needs doing, ironing, email to catch up, allotment work and hopefully get my bikes and car clean.

I will get a shift on.......:hello:
Clothes would be a better idea, especially if you do head up to the allotment.

Morning all :hello:

MrsD forgot to go to LIDL yesterday, so guess what I'm doing this morning?
Re-potted my Chili plants yesterday and planted 4 hanging baskets with a mix of flowering plants.

At £75 per ear, it's not cheap.
