Ooh, which one?

the classic ones are pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth

so if on a bike I would reckon
pride
greed for another bike
wrath and cars drivers
envy of the bike that just passed you
lust - err - not really - back of a car - yes - on a bike - not sure how that would work and not at my age anyway
gluttony - no - too much added weight
sloth - another no if you are cycling I suppose


so - what is the choice??

Isn't it amazing how far a glass can shatter when dropping it off a shelf.... Including the bit I extracted from my hand 🩸🩸🩸⛑️🩸🩸🩸
I knocked a glass of the kitchen worktop a couple of weeks ago. I was barefoot and my dustpan and brush were at the opposite end of the kitchen. Yes I did walk carefully, yes I did bleed and I also had a couple of glass fragments working their way out of my feet for a few days. 😬

I was just about to go out for my walk but it started raining, again. I blame all you southern whingers going on about how warm it is down south. I've been thinking about a tour around the Cowal Peninsula but in this warm damp weather it will be midgie as hell on the west coast. We'll see maybe it will be breezy.

I would always choose auto.
Not sure about those adaptive cruise control gizmos as I'm not sure I would want the car deciding distances for me.

I used to do 40,000 miles a year with work so have had auto’s since the mid 1990’s have one of each now and although I prefer the auto I have no issue jumping in to a manual, in fact I quite enjoy swapping cogs myself.

Good afternoon. A very pleasant cloudy, cool 22⁰ here. It's been a hectic morning with #1 and #3SPs. #1 is full on giddy today. She is a joy. The apple of Granddad's eye.

Mrs P has them both for a short while as I feast on chicken and mash. Bland food is the order of the day in prep for tomorrow's camera invasion.

Not much else really. I watched No Country for Old Men last night. I can't imagine why I've missed it for 20 years or so. What a very, very good film.
