Pollocks

I enjoy pollock. Sue was one for cod but did enjoy nibbling my pollocks.

Got all the Agaves out of the greenhouse as space will be needed soon for the Tomatoes and all the other tender stuff that is in the house at the moment; will also need space for later seed sowing like Kales etc.

Once that was done got the old Helium out for a spin in to Mildenhall and back; timed it right to miss the school run and before it got a bit warmer.

Afternoon was spent chilling in the garden with the bh and reading this months Gardens Illustrated mag that finally arrived.

Well that walk was hard work. Only 2.2 miles but I'm knackered.
Its very close and feels as though we are in for some serious rain.

Legs were tired after my walk yesterday to the extent that one of my friends escorted me to the bus stop. I am ok once I get going, it's the first few steps after getting up from a chair. I usually blame a " faulty autopilot " 😁

I am the same.mine is the result of long covid.
Out of bed in the morning and im not bad. Sit down for a coffee then my legs won't behave.
I am 'walking' most days. I am always wobbly but can manage 2 miles. Sit down for 5 minutes then the legs won't work. Its horrible but there are people a lot worse.

Nothing much on telly so I’m watching YouTube videos. Mostly health and diet related ones at the moment.

I found quite a good one the other day that I’ve subscribed to that has a few interesting cycles in Scotland.

Good evening. It was warm and humid most of the day but has clouded over and rained, just as well the garden needs it. So last night we got the emergency childcare request for today. We said yes despite Paul having a ride planned. Mrs P very kindly said I could still go, which I thought was above and beyond. My buddies played their part by agreeing and early start and a pacy, flat 60 miles that got me home by 1.50pm. This went down very well in our house. It was a very good ride with some really fast stuff when we felt like it. I got home to find #3SP had been a start and she continued to be so for the day. I did the ironing a prepared tea before I set off.......................this seemed a wise precaution!

A 1-0 win to end the season. Table looks good.
