Just got back from testing a new set up on the bike. Only managed fifteen miles as the chain snapped at thirteen miles. A quick repair got me home but I'm off to Decathlon now to see if they have a new one.


Latest bike set up with tri bars. By heck it's ugly but it's comfortable

No need to shout.

I've had 4 pints of Adnams 'Broadside' and a Sunday lunch..............I think I need an afternoon executive power nap now.

That is disgusting.
Any alcohol is disgusting.

Especially when it's POURED DOWN YOU.

All three sons came good today!

Do you know what time it is though?

Depends whether you had adjusted your clock or not

Was there any choice?

Good evening. I had a trip to the garden centre this afternoon. Lots of sunshine here now

 

[172traindriver]

I do.

Had to put your glasses on though?

 

[172traindriver]

I am going outside to wash the cars and do some lawn reseeding, off out for lunch later, have fun everyone.

All done and dusted?

 

[welsh dragon]

Nope.

That was a nippy walk. Shock to the system.....back to minus 3. Hopefully warm up soon though, although I don't think it's expected to get all that warm.

Looks like a colder week coming up

That's tough @Dirk. I'd echo your sentiments about making the most of it. Paddy Ashdown's mantra was, 'cram as much into every day that you can' -it's one worth following.

+1 to that
I know its a much said a possibly boring cliche but I take every day as it comes and try to do as much as I can when I get the opportunity.
I realise I am only on this earth for a short time, so whilst I have my health I try to do all the things I want to do.
