Just come back from a ride
2 things happened
firstly passed 11,000 miles on this bike
secondly - nearly home I was passing McDonalds and was riding up the cycle path leading up to our estate (a group of houses where we live - not something like Kate and William have just moved into - just to be clear)
and some bloke yelled out of his car window
"Nice Kecks Mate"
which - for those requiring the services of a translation matrix means
"I admire you nice trousers/shorts my dear fellow"
(note - in areas where this expression is used sarcasm can be prevalent - so tone of voice and situation needs to be assessed carefully)
to be clear I was wearing slightly off pink shorts and a pink t-shirt
with a hi-vis sleeveless top and white helmet
so I suspect is was not a genuine expression of admiration for my attire
To be fair I often wear pink because
a) I like it
b) every woman I have had a serious relationship with has said it suits me
c) it confuses the morons!!
anyway - made me laugh!

Nearly as bad as people that move to the country and then complain about hearing sheep/cows, etc.
We had that. People from Birmingham said the sheep and cows and birds and tractors were making far too much noise and disturbing their peace.. they wanted it all stopped

We have been busy. Mr WD was on the roof doing stuff and I was supervising . He can't be left alone for 5 minutes, if he is, he goes off on a tangent and starts doing other stuff.

Just as well you speeded up or you might have found yourself riding tandem , somebody behind you "pushing" hard up the hills !

.The only pink things I wear are my thong or panties and only very select people see them.
