Morning might go for a small trundle

Another bike? What colour is this one?

@fossyant - how about a track day? The 'driving experiences' are expensive for what you get imo, but a track day you're learning as well as driving. Just needs a working car.

Looks more like a mist to me.

Or inverse fog? Yes, there is such a thing!

Funny you should say that - he's on a track day next week. He's just upgraded his brakes and tyres !

No new to me bikes so far this week 😞

I have been using my old Marin Bear Valley MTB

I popped out to the shop for a snack and the customer in front of me asked for a packet of Marlboro light.

The teenage girl working there asked "What's that?"

Shows how de-normalised smoking is becoming. When I was growing up, cigarette advertising was everywhere and Ferrari and McLaren F1 cars were mobile Marlboro packets.

Is he near the coast, in a tropical area though.

One of the most memorable WTF moments while sorting out charity donations was finding a carrier bag full of soiled nappies inside a bin bag of other stuff...

This is pretty typical of the things we come across on a daily basis.
Recycling - ?

I might also remind you that Pres. Trump told us Corona virus would be no worse than the influenza.

For most people, he was right. It was the panic that caused deaths & disruption. Doubtless he was passing on what he was advised in any case.

I've heard of that too but didn't realise that it had actually gained acceptance within any NHS hospitals.

larval therapy to give it it's sunday name has been around and used for years. It's very effective on hard to treat ulcers you know they are working when the Patient feels them moving. Oddly its about one of the very few times a tissue viability nurse actually treats anyone. Normally they rack up tell you want dressing to use and then walk off leaving it up to other to sort out.
Mrs 73 has come across a few wounds that come with maggots already in them.

Why did Marc Bolan love Djibouti on Saturday night ?

Not big on gushing statements, but Wow! 10 miles in to the Maiden voyage and it's like a two wheel armchair. Responsive, sticks to the road like sh*t to a blanket as my dad used to say. Decided on Dover as a destination though.

My word but that is lovely. I'm almost feeling a bit of bike envy.

A friend of mine used to have a horse that was so well trained that she could stand in the saddle to scrump apples...

Scrumping is legal in the region known as Swabia (Stuttgart region and then some) but only if you eat the apply immediately; if you put it in your pocket it's theft.

A bit windy but not raining do far. Went to do some supermarket shopping to keep up my stock of all sorts of things. About £150 spent so far and cold stuff to get tomorrow before catching a ferry home.
The savings on price compared to the the coop prices pays for the ferry fare and fuel plus better quality overall.
The garage who claimed to have fixed my eco mode light flashing by resetting everything in the electronic system claimed it was now working as normal but this morning the light is flashing again.

Takes all the fun out of it. Running off and staying low then going back for more is what makes it worth it.
