[ebikeerwidnes]

I will be having the same later.
Daughter asked if I wanted to join them at thier table.
With Lpool playing in the cup final and the family are all Mancs?? Yeah, right.....I don't think so.

Your family are Mancs!!!

Sorry - I didn;t know
I didn;t realise things were that bad for you

sending sympathy

I do know how you feel - my wife's family has an Everton supporter in it !
mind you he does have brain damage - which explains it

Porridge earlier and now snacking on a packet of plain crisps. Chatting to 7 (1/2 ) year old granddaughter yesterday, she's read all the Harry Potter books and is quite good at seeing and understanding the plot lines and characters. She then told me that she's allowed to miss one English lesson as she's learning Bass guitar and will be playing the base line on " Seven Nation Army " at the School Concert. paging @Drago

Foster and Allen

I prefer the Clancy Brothers, but being Irish, I'm biased - !

How exactly I found the way to the station and got on the right train
and then got off at the right station

is something of a mystery

As the late G.K. Chesterton said in a telegram to his wife, 'Am in Market Harborough, where ought I to be - ?'

Good morning folks. I can hear Mrs Tkk putting all the old crap back into the cupboards of the new kitchen where it will remain undisturbed until the kids eventually take it to the charity shop/ council tip. Cynical, me? Nah, just a realist 🤔
On a lighter note, the sun is shining and I plan to go for a run. Just a week to go until our 10k race in Saltaire. Plenty of time to train up, long run today, hills on Tuesday, speedwork Thursday, taper down Friday and race on Sunday 😁

Your coming up here!!

Your coming up here!!

We are indeed. It will be Mrs Tkk's birthday on the 23rd and what better way to celebrate than a 10k run in a beautiful location. We've daughters in Leeds and Edinburgh who will be popping along to cheer her on.

Bike shop at Salts Mill, Ellis Briggs at nearby Shipley.

Mrs Tkk has been checking out the location of small breweries and places to eat ( both being veggies) It looks like we'll be spoiled for choice. She's also very much into social history so it looks like we've hit on an excellent location. The race organisers ( It's Grim up North Running ) also promised plenty of cake along the way as there are multiple distances being tackled on the day, from 5k up to 50k iirc.

Mancs as in Manu supporters.

Pleasant little snooze there.

Salut. Just got back from France and I must say, the food is definitely better there.
Molly was delighted to see me again and so was I.
I must have put a few pounds on probably so will start riding as soon as the weather warms up.

Watch has just alerted me to let me know that the hedgehog is out on his meanderings. The feeding station camera should trigger in a few minutes 😎

Strewth. It must be really bad in Wales then.

AT least they don;t keep insisting on having cheese with every meal

disgusting stuff - and the French stuff is even worse than the English stuff
