I've bought another bike. Mint condition, 16" wheels the same as our Brommies. One owner from new and all the paperwork from the original purchase. That's what browsing the local Gumtree can lead to...

Good morning folks ,
Awoke early and couldn’t get back to sleep. Today I was planning to have been arriving in Crammond following the “ Ride to the Sun “ from Carlisle. Hopefully next year. The bike that I mentioned purchasing was a Frog 48 for our granddaughter’s upcoming birthday. 😎 gotta start em young.
Planning to pop down to “ Folk on the Quay “ this afternoon, have some beer and listen to some music.
Have a peaceful day folks ☕️☀️🎶🍺

Morning. I was in earlier but only posted on the Wordle section.

Finally got myself out for a bimble. 27 miles on the hybrid as the roads were damp and I wanted mudguards. I had intended going slightly further but the wind was picking up so chickened out.

Good day. @12boy Great to hear from you again.

"What news on the Rialto?" I hear you ask. Well I'm not sure but here in Lancashire it's bright 'n' breezy and we look set for a good day full of excitements.

• Finish netting gooseberries
• Weeding
• Ironing
• Clean filthy gravel bike
• Tidy up
• Bits and bobs of web browsing

Living the dream........

I'm tempted but can't claim my state for another two years but I've got several private pensions as well. Trouble is the state of things in the world is affecting your pensions by the minute - I'm actually frightened to check mine at the moment. I've cut my hours at work to four days a week which is the next best thing. If my numbers come up tonight my next post will be from Barbados!.

By this you mean private pension pots or employment schemes? If it's private pots yes, like everyone, you've probably taken a hammering. Myself I haven't looked at my pension pot value since February. I'm fortunate in that we don't need to use it. There's nothing to be done so why worry. If you have employment schemes they may not be affected and it could be worth asking the question.

Two years can make a big difference.
