Delivery times are strange. I ordered a Samsung Galaxy tablet at 9.00pm yesterday. It arrived about 10.45 this morning. Set up and running by 2.00pm

Any of you getting False Widow spiders in the house ? loads of them coming to visit me

Yep, I have rehoused four today. I've provided warm, cosy, dark surroundings, close to friends and with a ready supply of dead flies so the spiders can put their feet up.

Generally the weather is good but the accommodation can be subject to the occasional storm force 10.

I feel these guys should be grateful, not everyone gets an HBM0.........

Hoover Bag of Multiple Occupancy.......

It's that or summary execution

I've been retired for twelve years and love every minute of it. I gave up motorcycling because it's gotten so dangerous. Instead I took up cycling, and in ten years I've had nine bikes. I currently have an Izip step-through, and an Electra Beach Cruiser. I love to do my own mechanical work and have done well with it. I've fixed up a few bikes that were given to me, that were basically fit for the dumpster, and soon sold them. Other than bikes, I enjoy creating and editing photos. With my eightieth birthday coming up next summer, I'm grateful for good health and being able to ride. The winter months in Florida is the only time I can take on 20-mile rides.

Afternoon folks its been a funny old week...not much cycling, windy. boring [my fault] gardening when weather permits and watched 5 seasons of'call the midwife'! not really my cuppah tea but was interesting/entertaining and probably factually [gruesomely[ accurate.
The garden is looking almost 'designer' good and reckon the new roses will look great next year
