Facebook memories today.


Bit sad that this was just 5 years ago and must have been at least a 40 mile ride judging by where I was. How the mighty have fallen!

I must get my trike/bike back on the road again or they will be distant memories too

I think it's as much mental for me as physical. I'm just not enjoying the roads unless I go out at silly o'clock in the morning. There's not a huge amount of trails around here to do off road either.

Strangely, living in semi-rural Lake District there are far fewer off road trails than you might imagine.

There are obvious ones like Grizedale Forest & High Street but more local 'networks' do not exist.

Plenty of footpaths though.

A gravel bike would be a waste. My older Giant CX was a stranger to tracks & trails & was relegated to turbo duties.

Ye gods! It is dire out there.

Sopping wet, thick clag and, all in all, utterly dispiriting*.

Might do some gym, will definitely be breaking out the Kindle machine. Might even light a fire just to cheer things up.

Enjoy your day - weather permitting!

*Probably the first time I have ever typed that word, was the thought that crossed my mind as I typed it.

Black pudding In England is lovely. However black pudding in Wales is nasty.

Wherever you eat it Its still concealed blood with lumps of fat.

Oh the sun is out now we have 21c

Itll be a cold day in Hades before I agree with AI.

It is correct quite often
but then it is also wrong quite often

so it is like a speech by a politician - you have to fact check it
which does make it rather useless

Am I the only person that has never eaten a scotch egg.......no reason, its just never happened.

No - nor have I
never been keen on eggs

Omelets are OK - and I will have a fried egg on a breakfast if I forget to ask for an alternative

but never been keen

and cold ones are just even more of a turn off

What about an omelette with lots of cheese including some nice ripe blue cheese ?

You are a disgusting pervert!!!!

It is a statement of the love I have for SWMBO that I actually make things like that for her!!!

Although as I am now taking medicine for some "things" blocking my nasal passages that have been there for many year
then that might become a problem

Worst thing - Cheese sauce from M&S

Yea Gods that stuff stinks!!

We don't scimp on things In Wales you know. We go all out.

yes - I used to live in North Wales and i heard about some "events" up in the hills where the actual detail were unclear

and this was from the Deputy head of the Department Of Education of a University when doing a lecture to trainee teachers!!!

and also from some people who lived in villages on the edge of the hills where no tourists go
