I wasn't told that I was supposed to wash it!!!
Its quite a nice shade of gray, in parts.

One of Drago's cast-offs had to be exported to Chernobyl and has been sitting on the "Elephant's Foot" for several years to try to make it safe near humans

apparently the throng is fine but the Elephant's foot has started to dissolve

My downstairs lavatory is twinned with one in Chernobyl.

I have just nipped to the Spar shop.
That sun is dangerous ....it is very bright and very low.

Just back from the 2nd dog walk. That wind is cold although the rain and sleet has stopped. even I have resorted to long trousers and a sweatshirt today.

My grandson, who is 25, works outside (erecting timber frames for buildings). Up till yesterday he was still wearing shorts. Don't know what he wore today.
I think he's training to be a postman.

The wind spilt my coffee by bumping the boat against the pontoon. Jolly strong wind today.

Not the whole cup, just spilled over as it was full.

The bins twin brother is here, and of course he wanted food as well. He was just back from Leicester. He had an interview for the fire service that way

Be interested to know what you think of them. I have problems getting wide enough shoes.

I've been wearing them around the house. Initial impression: The website recommends going up half a size from your usual size. I have on very wide and short foot and one " normal " foot. I usually go for a 9 - 91/2 to fit my normal foot so upsized to a 10. With the Inov8 wide fitting I feel that I needn't have upsized. The rear heel box could to with being a bit snugger, they seem to have made that part of the show wider too.
Overall a very good and grippy shoe. Got them in the " Black Friday " sale. I signed up for the newsletter which gave you a 10% discount, the small print saying that it only applied to full price items. I tried it anyway and it did indeed work.
EDIT:
Imelda Marcos Mrs TKK is really pleased with hers, she went for the ladies wide fitting and she says she will be looking to wide fittings on further shoe purchases.

I've tidied up both the bottom and top shelf of my wardrobe.. The clothes presently remain in the same order but I might sort them out if I have the time tomorrow.

It was all a tad cluttered but now it isn't 🤗

You mean it has the same requirements for protective gear

and maximum survival time for humans???

The person doing it asked if I wanted to be Tagged
