Depends. What's TPI?

I was wearing the seat off the current ones with the commuting...

TPI = Teeth Per Inch, as used on most saw blades.

I got close on 10,000 miles, around 16,000 kilometres, per pair. What were you getting?

The last of the butternut squash & chickpea curry tonight, but with rice rather than naan. Will use the leftover rice to make egg fried rice later in the week.

Interesting that two of our cats; siblings, occasionally feel it necessary to 'wash' my hair, but fortunately, not at the same time - ! An unusual sensation.

Lexi sometimes grooms my hair, but then remembers why she hates doing it. I have long hair and it gets tangled on her tongue...

The best I can do is the "Ol' cook pot"

I'd have thought you could try this, given where you live



Oh, and I'm over in Belfast this weekend for the Irish Junior track nationals.

I'm home. Concert was amazing but I think I am too old and knackered for a standing concert now as my back and legs ache big time.

You need to toughen your back & legs up by going to a few more gigs. It works for me at 57 with 15 already done this year, 15 more lined up plus whatever gets announced over the next few months.

I was chatting with the Hawk man this afternoon and have realised that cycling isn't as expensive as some hobbies. He was walking his female Harris Hawk round the building as I was leaving the bike shed and stopped to ask a few questions about my Planet X as he's a bit of a cyclist too. It turns out that the one he was with today cost over £3000 a couple of years ago, but what a beauty - perched quietly on his arm, but always on the lookout for a target if she was to be let go.

Was Madam Harris on pigeon-catching duties?

Not old and knackered - you've spent months recovering from a serious ankle injury and for most of that time you've been keeping weight bearing to the minimum. The tiredness and stiffness you feel now is only an indication of how much you have been sparing the healing bones. Your body will have forgotten about standing up for extended periods so you're now literally finding your feet.

This, presented as though it were fact, is only my opinion. That doesn't automatically make it wrong, though.

I hope Ernie visits tomorrow..

I have chocolate seashell thingies.

If she'd been allowed to be let loose, then pigeon, gull, whaetever couldn't fly fast enough would have been hawk fodder. Unfortunately he's only been allowed to walk the bird round the building as a scare tactic to try to get rid of the gulls as everything else (electronic bird scarer, strips of foil tied to the rails, naff looking kite scarer) has failed and there's over a dozen nests on one part of the roof alone and the gulls are a protected species.

Anyhow, the ONS wrote to me to tell me that I not only have Covid antibodies but they're at a ''higher level.'' This would be reassuring if they knew what it meant for Omicron but they don't - my superior and perfectly formed antibodies are only Delta defeating. In other words, totally useless information.

You out of milk?

Never mind the, erm, how shall I put it... poopage...
