I like Workbridge as it has patients with 'issues' working there.
I wonder where they'll get reintegrated with society now 🤷‍♂️
Damn fine cake, too! 😋

Another couple of miles walked. It’s freakishly warm for November.

I've just got back from the 2nd dog walk of the day, and as Mo says it is unreasonably warm. I have couple of windows open to let some fresh air in.

A domestics day today, the kitchen cupboards were cleaned, the tops were very dirty and greasy, then i cleaned the carpets in the hallway and the front room.

@BoldonLad - a suggestion. I've had a similar issue with my di2 shifters. I've found the best solution is to buy quality, branded batteries. I'm using Panasonic at the moment with no failures, prior to this I used non-branded from Amazon. Numerous failures. The Panasonic batteries are 3 to 4 times the price though.

Thanks for that. I have bought Duracell. Original battery was Enigiser and lasted about four years, be interesting to see how long this one lasts. The good news is, at least now, I know what the problem is, and, how to change the battery. 😊

There are loads of massive fireworks going off all round

have you seen the price of those things!!!!


In other news, this area has been flagged as one of the most deprived in the country

Oh yes, there is no money about, don’t you know.

Afternoon folks im feeling a bit chuffed which is unusual for me as im not really a chuffing sort Anyhow i went out for a spin in the foggy murk, it was meant to be clearing later but didnt fancy coming home in the dark. Lights on for a while in the fog and then off on higher ground and got to the base of my sob/****rd/nemesis hill! Set of spinning early and got a good rhythm going, for a while looked at the tarmac in front of my wheel rather than the hill. My marker was an old red telephone box and if i could get a 100yrds on from that that would be progress, well i got my 100 and then thought hey! i can damn well keep going! So i did!
