Our rubbish collection calender for 2021 has been delivered.

I'm sure it's a lovely one really.

I'm pleasantly surprised I'm not the only one up!

Gud Moaning !
It is damp and dingy outside at the moment .
I have just been out and put our garden waste bin out .
I'm sorry but there's no further exciting news.

Bin's awaiting collection..

Blood donoring day, today. I'm hoping to ride there, but the forecast is looking dubious at 13.00.
I don't mind getting wet on the way back, it's only 4 or 5 miles, but I don't really want to be dripping on the floor as they suck my blood out 🆎!

I'm new to cooking . How many hours should I boil an egg for ?

I received my first Christmas card this morning.

I suppose I better buy and send some. Bah! Humbug!

My sister's card will more than likely turn up in the middle of January with an "insufficient postage" label stuck to it.

I'd boil it for about three hours. You want to make sure that it's well done.

If it's a big egg, 20 minutes per lb + 20 minutes over. Allow to stand for 10 minutes.

I've just cleaned my car, it was a dirty brown colour, its now gleaming white as it should be, but won't be for long.

Yes . I was worried about sour vanilla !

When I'm out cycling I sometimes get overtaken by cyclists dressed in lycra and riding a carbon bike . I don't think too much about it as I'm riding a steel framed bike which is probably older than they are .Even my tyres are probably older than them ! No point in discarding a tyre with plenty of life left in it . . What gets me though is when someone passes me on a mountain bike dressed wearing flapping overcoat, overalls and boots !

It happened to me a couple of weeks ago riding across Coventry at the end of a fifty miler, two of them in work wear riding Hybrids, rode past me casually chatting, I tried to catch them and couldn't.
