Good morning. Grey and drizzling. Paul is 71 today. I find that quite hard to grasp. I'm not fussed but 50 years ago it was hard to imagine!!!
Happy Birthday auld timer.

In other news, Michael Fish promised heavy rain at 0900hrs. Sure enough, the stroke of 9 brought the first heavy spots of the wet stuff.
 
happy Birthday @PaulSB

Today is a problem
tennis is STILL on apparently so that will be on the telly

but the GP is also on
and so is the cycling


Honestly the sporting world really should look at their scheduling with some consideration for real people!!!


Oh - and maybe the grandkids will come round - we have not seen them this week sa we were not needed to school pick ups

I know! I was going to just watch the cycling but I see the British girl Sonay Kartal is playing so I want to watch that. Hopefully it will be over in time to catch the latter stages of the cycling.

We're meeting #1 son, DIL and #2SP for lunch at Lupo Caffe. II's a favourite cafe stop for me and my cycling buddies but none of us have eaten there. My buddies see me as the guinea pig on this one.

Meanwhile I will potter around doing domestics.

happy birthday!

Mrs @BoldonLad's Alzheimers symptoms are advancing, slowly, but surely. Although she is physically very fit (more fit than me!) she cannot reliably deal with remembering how to operate gears, brakes, and, deal with traffic, so, our cycling outings have been at an end for over a year now.

I slip out for a quick solo ride, either early in the morning, but, our sociable daytime rides, with coffee, cake and a laugh, have come to an end.

Last week, I bought a Hase Pino Steps, semi-recumbent tandem. I did take Mrs @BoldonLad along with me, and, we had a "trial run", before buying. Today, we had our first outing in our home area, doing part of a route which Mrs @BoldonLad is familiar with. We only did a little over 7 miles, but, I am pleased to say, it all went smoothly, and, Mrs @BoldonLad is a convert. I think we should be able to resume "coffee and cake rides" in the near future 😂

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
