Started young, and still going.

Barnet,
Good morning all.
A bit damp out there at the moment.
An appointment with the dentist later. I'm not one of those that dread going, my dentist is very good, and I'm lucky that I don't really go that often. Once a year st the worst, and I was due a check up anyway.
All the usual stuff to do today, dog walking, domestics and a meeting of the escape committee this afternoon in the Railway Bell.
Probably no bike riding today though.
Second mug of tea coming up shortly :cuppa:
Enjoy your day everyone.

Good morning folks,
Sun is rising, I took the electric Brommie ⚡️ out for a short spin yesterday to capture a photo of the daffs in bloom and check out the new basket bag that Santa brought. I had it on minimum assist and it made the nasty hill much less of a challenge, though I still had to work quite hard. It really is a nice bit of kit, and although we both love our acoustic Brommies I can see us using the Electric version more as the years progress.

Hello world. How are we? Grey, overcast and potentially wet here. Yesterday just disappeared in a flurry of things that needed doing and took far longer than expected. Not good. We should be walking today but our friends have had to cry off due to waking unwell, not Covid as they've just finished that one! I'll try to make use of an unexpected free day to do everything I should have done yesterday. #sigh#

We're going to a ceilidh tonight celebrating a friend's 70th. Looking forward to a party but hate the idea of dancing. I will, its expected but I'm designated driver so won't be able to have any assistance in releasing my inhibitions!!!!!

That's enough about you, what's the weather like?

Scottish dancing. I can just picture you doing the "highland fling".

Trouble is I can as well. 🥺 It'll be an Irish theme so I won't be doing the Gay Gordons

I get a lot of aches and pains in my old neck these days which sometimes end up in a headache. Had been using a microwave heat pad thing but it didn’t stay warm that long so just had this delivered this morning. Sitting with it on just now and it feels lovely.

Looks cosy. During the cold spell I ordered a couple of warm cardigans, they're very cosy but they didn't arrive till the cold spell had finished and the weather has been on the warm side since.

Talking of warm cardigans, on my 50th birthday my daughters got me a cardigan and a pair of slippers. At the time I said " if you ever see me wearing a Cardy and slippers in a non ironic way, put a round in the back of my head "
I can see the practicality and functionality of them now, but I'd be very very nervous if I was wearing them when my daughter visited 😁
