Mundane News

I had a mechanical on this morning's perambulation. My shoelace came loose and I had to stop to tie it.

Last day of work for the week. I'll be out on parole in five hours time to enjoy a wet a windy long weekend.

May i suggest ~this~ site for shoe lace assistance? 🤔

Thanks. She passed away earlier this evening and I had the opportunity to spend the last couple of hours with her.

Sorry to hear the news @DCLane. At least you could be with her.

On my 1st trip (hopefully my only one) will add 216, Ilkeston & back. Slightly more distance due to the route around a 14'6" bridge with a 16' trailer.. 👍
🎅 🤶

Say hello you Ron Brooks for me please if you are going to Ilkeston

Great 'no lace' solution - until the Velcro wears out - !
On the rare occasion a lace breaks on me; I re-tie it and replace it when I get home. When I'm out walking or camping, I always carry a spare pair of laces; an old service habit I've never lost.

Condolences DCLane the waiting is the worst part I think.

Another damp morning tho' the wind seem to have abated but due back for the next couple of days.
Just as well I had decided to stay at home for the holiday period this year as travelling would have been a problem as well as being confined indoors when I got there. I should be over to visit early January anyway for a hospital visit.

At Loch Restil which is at the top of the Rest and be Thankful the road is closed due to multiple overturned HGV's. This has always been a bad spot and even in a car you can get blown about in a dangerous fashion in a high wind.

Good morning from Suffolk where it's overcast, windy and wet yet again. Don't know what I've done right this morning, but the first cuppa of the day is one of the best I've had in a long time.

At some point this morning I'm going to head off into town to get some gammon steaks, decent bacon & sausages as food treats for myself for the weekend and that will be it until the middle of next week (mum's doing Chr***mas dinner and I'll end up with leftovers on Boxing Day).

It's not looking likely I'll get a ride in during the next few days. Ah well, mince pies, satsumas and cheese and biscuits it is.

There is always Wellingtons. No laces or Velcro required.

Our clouds are unpunctured but your patches might come in handy.
