Good morning from a bright but overcast Dorset. Temperatures in the 20's until next week according to the forecast. Mrs Tkk is on her THIRD coffee of the day😳 ( though she does have a more dainty cup than my ruffty tuffty chunky mug ). Daughter and granddaughter are popping round on Saturday, her car is in for its MOT at the garage around the corner. It's was originally Mrs Tkk's car and has been going there since it first needed an MOT. Of course when we gave her the car I told her that it came with a lifetime parts and labour warranty so I've been picking up the annual bills. 😁
Have a peaceful day folks ☀️

Do you rent her out by any chance. By the day or the week will do
No chance, she is mine all mine.
I always said that you are a meanymogs.
Morning all
Big bore kit for the Puch arrives today; be interesting to see the quality of it. Just waiting on the larger carb to arrive before I set about the conversion.
Going to the Somerset Classic bike meet tonight at the Windmill Inn, which is just up the road from me.
1st lesson i ever learned Dirk......dont get your Big bore mixed up with the small one. Its easily done if you aren't concentrating.
Shout me if you need more advice.

Up incredibly early for me.
Off to the Trough of Bowland for a hike with my mate.
Nice, sunny day.
Enjoy your own version of today!

A very pleasant 5 mile wander done. It's so much nicer when it's cooler. I even felt a bit more energetic. 
I see Zwift have a sale on for a few days for the V2 of the Zwift Ride and Kickr Core for £899. I am extremely tempted as, although my Wattbike is a solid bit of kit, it has never felt comfy for me. The Zwift Ride looks like it would have better adjustment, especially as this version has been designed to accommodate shorter riders. Hmmm.......I have a very itchy finger on my mouse!

Sounds good. Enjoy.

My finger twitched. Ooops.
Well another pleasant day here in sunny Galicia, another clear blue sky and an expected mid 20's this afternoon. I've moved a little further along the coast to a small village Caion not far from my next destination of A Coruna. Going to take the bike out for a spin so may post some photo's later.

Good morning from a bright and sunny Lancashire....................there is a definite nip in the air! So we're back from Anglesey. It's a nice place and for our purposes, walking, eating, socialising and the craic just what we needed. I would go back to do similar, I'm not sure how much more there is to see and do. We found a brilliantly eclectic cafe at Penmon Point, just as well as it was a loooonnggggg walk there! The Pilot House Cafe the sort of place I love, wonderfully bonkers.
Today? Our French friends from Nice arrive tomorrow. Today is laundry, housework etc following our holiday and getting ready for their arrival. There is a fly in my personal ointment! Mrs P's driving licence was due for renewal at age 70. Like all of us she received the notice weeks ago, plenty of time to do the very simple application online. Did she do it? No!!!!!! Her licence has now expired as has her passport - the passport was deliberate. The online application option seems to be closed to her. Getting her ID checked online seems impossible despite .gov saying they will accept passport details that are less than 90 days after expiry, which Mrs P's are. This means I'm now a taxi service until she sorts this out. I am very p***ed off but have zipped my lips.
