My daughter has just posted 44 kms on the exercise bike for this morning! She's merciless.

But it's not real

But it's not real

The 3,700 kcal on her fitbit suggests there's a bit of reality in there somewhere.

That seems a little optimistic, do they have a tie up with Volkswagon?

Ah yes, silly me, it's actually 2130 kcal. I should pay more attention to reading things properly.

Unless of course she had the front of the exercise bike on a couple of books so it's uphill all the way

Over here a few/many years ago when the new Firebird came out a local brewery ran a competition to have a lap of the course with Ron riding and the winner on pillion, he wheelied the full length of the straight from Quarterbridge to Braddan roundabout and completed the lap 10 seconds slower than race pace...... the poor girl could not speak when she got off

My wife often had the same problem....I do miss taking her out on the bike..the peace and quiet

I'm Yorkshire we're not allowed to have skools, Lardun don't want us to have any in case we rise up & overthrow the rulin classes, afterall we're only 500 people short of being bigger than Skotlund

You and me both, l had my own cabinetmaking business up until the day came when an American client turned up at the door of my workshop in Suffolk and asked me to make a "group" for Bloomingdales in New York and by the way l would like you to come to NY and launch the range of English oak furniture. Life was never the same after that l assure you

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
Bloomingdales....
I may have to go shopping.
I'd have to go to Peoria to find a Macy's, now. I think. Hard to keep up with stuff that is closing at times.

I've unpacked our new curtain rail, all pretty standard stuff, I've got a similar one upstairs, the fun will be bending it round the bay

I thought Coventry was a long way from the sea.
