Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Correct, but they have to be right one-year and this might be the one let's hope it is just the usual winter

To be fair - I have to take the blame for the milder winters
A several years ago I went mad and - having listened to the long range forecast - bought a sledge in preparation for taking the grandkids out in the snow
naff all snow ever since!!!

Nearly 7 quite chilly miles walked earlier. Breakfast finished. Now nearly time to take Molly cat round to the vet to check her mouth again. Hoping it is healed now as she gets so stressed having to go.........and so do I!

Good day. Late this morning as I've been doing stuff. Lovely day here and I'm trying to decide if I should get the bike out or carry on doing stuff. We are off to the States for a month in mid-October and it's crept up on me that I have a long, long list of things I must do. Still I've knocked quite a few off the list this morning.
We haven't put the heating on and Mrs P has said it won't go on till we get back from the States in mid-November. That is quite a statement for her. Evenings I'm wearing a heavy fleece and slippers as it's getting chilly. Our house is wonderfully cool in summer but does need heating up for winter - two foot thick walls and once they're warm they stay warm but it takes a while.
Contemplating selling a bike. I've a Cannodale CAAD which just hangs on the garage wall. I've kept it on the basis it might come in handy if ever both my Kinesis and Cervelo are both off the road.........that hasn't happened in two years so I think I may sell.

Salut. My backache is getting better but not there yet. If I sit down for too long, it takes a while to warm up again before I can walk with a straight back.
I still managed to cut the grass yesterday and do a few jobs round the house but no cycling still.
It is definitively cooling off but not enough to put the heating on, a jumper will do. Every one I talk to is dreading the coming of winter and its consequences on home energy bills. Every body is thinking of ways to save gas and electricity. I don't think shops will have a good year this Christmas despite all the advertising inciting people to spend money they don't have on futile things.

Didn't go for a bike ride as I decided the good weather was the opportunity to get some outside work done. Mainly I split and stacked about half our winter logs. I'll probably do the rest tomorrow.
Trying hard to clear the decks for a Sunday ride so tomorrow will be busy. Current plan is first start making green tomato chutney, while that's cooking iron clothes and catch up on household admin. By then chutney should be ready to go in jars, then I want to clean the car and split more logs.
We will see!!!

Telly has been good the past few evenings.
Up with the larks again, except they’re not even up. I think the Swallows have finally decided the last few nights have been a bit too chilly for them so the few that were still hanging around have now gone back to Africa.
I will head out for an early walk soon. A few more weeks and I think the head torch will be required.
