Just told the good lady she's over filled the carrier bag draw!!
Little reorganization required


View attachment 411430

A lot of supermarkets have special recycling bins for plastic bags, better than putting them in the general rubbish bin.

It is supposed to take a carrier bag many years to degrade hence the need to re use, however it takes 2 seconds to split!

Sounds like a beastie we have in the States called a chigger. You might try a little tea tree oil, applied topically.l

i use antihistamines a lot this time of year, i get some very good reactions to mozza and nat bites.

hold the Itching area under the hottest water you can cope with for about 5-10 mins for hours of relief, works really well on mozza and flea bites

Very true. I had my last run in while photographing a railway viaduct I can now reach via a chigger free bike path.

Well, I've taken some 1-a-day antihistamine and it seems to have gone down a little. Fingers (more or less, cos they're a bit puffy) crossed.

This morning was dull and chilly, this afternoon was glorious so we went for a walk and popped into our local tea rooms for coffee and cake

Just watched a clip of a Malian illegal immigrant scaling four storeys of a Paris apartment block to save a four year old child dangling from a balcony, while the next door neighbour belatedly held on to the child and the child's parents were not at home.

Pretty heroic in my opinion , after meeting Macron he has been offered French naturalised citizenship and a job in the fire service (according to the beeb )

After this morning's ride, Strava gives my mileage for the year to date as 1023.4.

Now up to 2034.3, plus a few miles I forgot to record on Friday night/Saturday morning. Guesstimate included, 2043.1. It's been a big month for mileage!

I’ve been reading your ongoing gastronomic exploits with an ever increasing sense of wonder, and have come to the conclusion that you eat better than Henry VIII.

Please tell me you’re 35 stone, or life just isn’t fair.

She SO isn't. Life isn't fair....

Look @potsy a healthy kebab.

I brought some souvlaki seasoning back from Greece, so I had to try it out.

I am back from Cambridge. The flash floods in Rugby were interesting... particularly the one we got through - just (turned out we were the last car to manage it) which smelled like raw sewage. It was . Then a detour to Milton Keynes train station and back to Cambridge. I swear the storm cloud was tied to our car. Couldn't escape it
However, home has .
