A dead stare; dangerous in the circumstances.

Not bothered about a possible close shave then.

I just remembered a bit of a dream I had. Some stupid councillors had introduced a one way system for pedestrians! I was arguing with a councillor saying that if you dropped something like litter which was blown behind you you couldn't go back to pick it up!
I think my pulse had slowed right down and my brain must have thought that if I became agitated it might speed up. It happened once before. The dream was about driving up a steep slope. I went over the top and discovered it was the edge of a cliff! That got my heart pumping!

You are going to have to stop listening to these PPB's and the news.

I arrived earlier in Dumfries via the old military road with detours to surrounding villages to see what was of interest.

Rode with some road bikers for a few miles who were surprised I could keep up on a loaded Brompton. I was surprised too but didn't say so! Very friendly people.

Out in a pub having dinner now. Something called football is apparently happening. A strange affair, it seems to involve gathering around the television in the corner of the bar and shouting at it. I prefer cycling. Less noisy!

I will be two nights here, going to walk about a bit and visit the Robert Burns house and anything else of interests that i find.

@tyred - given you're in Scotland they'll be drinking heavily if the football team do well. And if the football team do badly they'll be drinking heavily.

There's just one other guy ignoring it. He's sitting doing the crossword in his newspaper.

He'll either be Swiss or English and to a Scotsman they're the same this evening.

And no, I'm not watching it. Someone's dropped a pile of marked student work into my inbox to review and that is much more preferable than watching 22 men chasing a bag of wind.

Odd lot up those parts. You being a visitor to the area, took it as odd so noticed.

I think washing the dishes is more interesting than watching football.

I wish I had a newspaper so I could look intelligent while I sit here and finish my drink!

Questions
Wouldn't it be quicker, and easier, to use a lawnmower to cut the grass not hair clippers?

I do like to have very thin stripes on the lawn.

Questions
If you're cutting your hair, not the grass. How much hair are you planning on cutting?

Enough to not look bald like my dad

virgin are currently causing chaos in the village digg up pavements to install cabling.SIL had Virgin installed and had numerous problems with both Tv and phone Eventually he had enough with trying to get problems resolved and went back to BT.

For various reasons to do with NTL in the past, I won't have anything to do with Virgin.

Edited to add - If you want to see trafffic chaos in action, just have Cadent randomly dig up roads in your area, badly fill in the holes and then come back two months later to dig more holes.

Hope you've not hurt your knees, and that the pinstripes are all straight.

That's the end look, how long was it before work started.

OK. Who knows Paul from Ipswich?
Currently touring the N Kent coast. By happenstance we bumped into each other around Whitstable.

Cycled together to Faversham and saw him off on the route to Sittingbourne. Did try and deter him from going the Sittingbourne.
Anyway a jolly few Kms together

You can book a guide to this bit of Kent. Used beer tokens work.
