What's good about it......it's dismal out there! Lol. I've been out for an early jog though.

I must admit it's supposed to be a nice day here but it isn't. I was trying to be positive.

Grey and windy this morning; a bit like me.

Morning all.

Drizzling merrily here. Once we've walked the mutt we'll be off down to Yorkshire for a christening. As well as all my family my fixed wheel bike lives down there so will take some kit and get out on t'cog for a bit. And, off course, with it being Yorkshire the sun will be shining.

Later taters.

Off to Poltesco this morning for a mooch around the old Serpentine works, then partaking in a spot of Sunday lunch (pensioners portion of course).
Found a local pub doing pensioners lunch for £5.50. Will report back later.

Morning all, out for a chilly 30 miler this morning. Hopefully some coffee and buns on the way home.

Morning all.
For some reason I didnt sleep well last night.
I had a reoccurring dream that I was being chased by a demented welsh woman on a bike and every time she caught up she would shove cold mushy peas down my baggy Y fronts. Near by was a woman with a southern accent shouting "hey, Ive got FIVE bikes and you can ride them all".
I think I need therapy .

Anyway its miserable here, not the nice day they promised .
I have a 20 mile ride planned if things improve.

Eyup @numbnuts. How're you doing after your recent dramatic weight loss?

Statistically you should by now weigh approx 3.75 Kg . But I hope you dont.

Lunch report:

Excellent Sunday roast at the White Hart in St Keverne.
We had the 'small portion' option at £6.95. Roast beef, Yorkie, roast taters and six veg.
Don't think I could have managed the normal sized one!
The Guiness is excellent, as is the Skinner's 'Porthleven' IPA - albeit a little pricey at £4.00 a pint.
All in all I'd give it a 9.8 out of 10.
