Things you'd like to say, but can't

[Windle]

Two things...

1. Dear driver, you are supposed to give cyclists at least 1.5 metres space when overtaking. Metres, not cms, definitely not mm, and absolutely not microns!!!
2. WTF!!!

Yeah, I've been getting men and women supposedly gussling from bottles of olive oil to improve their health, how nonsense like this is allowed beyond sites clearly aimed at being jokes/satire is beyond me.

I've had those too!
And apparently Cliff Richard is now living alone in Newton Aycliffe.... WTF?
Utter clickbait b*ll*cks .

That's a relief - he was in my street last week. Very worrying!

I have no idea who Cliff has ever lived with or where and neither interest me, but at least guff like this isn't negatively affecting my health like drinking litres of olive oil!

Any chance of a few more warm sunny days before the frosts arrive?

It is already getting nippy and I'd prefer not to use my heating until at least October. This room was only at 15.3 C when I got up. It rose to a high of 15.9 C during the day but is now dropping again. (I would be perfectly okay if I were moving about but it is a bit chilly to be sitting down messing about online for hours.) I didn't really bother about the cold when I was young but I am starting to notice it more as I approach 70. I suppose the old metabolism is slowing down!

Of course there will be milder days before the frosts arrive!
I've still got some gardening to do

I've put mine on today for the first time, it was nippy coming home after getting a bit wet (on foot).
Probably the temperatures will rise and fall again, then raise again before bonfire night.
Here these weather changes are quite usual, sometimes I can have a shower, with the window open to let out the steam, in January!

White laces with Lidl trainers!

For goodness sake everyone must know the laces have to be the original red

An audax event that I used to do (the very hilly Season of Mists) takes place on the first Sunday of October every year. Some years the weather was glorious, almost too warm. Other years it was so bad that I abandoned halfway, or didn't even start!

Re the role of long term partners and dress sense
I have made it clear she can bury me in whatever she can find. Suits, matches or fits is just left to her taste.

What makes you think you can tell me what to do? You’re not my boss.

Aldi - clean your baskets!!!

I used one of those big baskets with wheels and a fold-down handle last week. A pack of mixed seeds burst in the far left corner. Someone came and cleaned up the seeds that fell through onto the floor while I went and got a replacement pack of seeds. I shopped in there again today and got what looked like the same basket, with manky mixed seeds still in the far left corner!

PS I suppose that I actually could have said that at the time, but I didn't.

Ive felt that way at my local Aldi. But none of the supermarkets qualify as scrupulous.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

My last company fired or forced out all the experienced staff in the name of "change". I quit before they could get around to me and joined a competitor. Today we've just won a near £1million customer from them because they've been struggling with a technical issue for 6 months without solving it. Customer phoned me, I said "You just do X". Problem solved in seconds.

So, hahahahahahahahaha!

I love that.

Days after I was allowed to explore new opportunities, a former customer called me with a retainer that nearly matched what I'd left.
My job was to negotiate in my industry sector.
We had lots of fun.
