Good moaning.

Had a bit of a lay in and a cuddle with Mrs D after yesterday's exertions.

Been down the pub for a meal and a couple of beers. Now just chilling in the garden with a very large Gin and Tonic. Listening to a bit of Motown. Living the dream. Life is so F*****G good. View attachment 473176

What do you do with cushions on the 300 days when its raining.
Looks very nice btw.

 

[Dave7]

Unlikely. I'm hearing quite a few have bailed and others are saying they'll simply see how far they can get.

Nothing on Facebook yet so I'm wondering if anyone started. The thought of riding 200 miles and then getting up at 4.00 to do it again. Huge respect.

Hats off to them. I would not even dream of day 1.

Morning all, dog walking this morning at the rescue centre, if the dogs are allowed out, depending on temps. Yesterday at 4pm height of the heat, I stupidly went for a hilly walk, only 30mins but that was enough, will follow the Spanish siesta tradition from now on during high temps.

 

[Dave7]

Morning all. Cloudy** but warm here.
**Actually, as I type they are moving away and clear blue sky is coming in.
My plan is to get a couple of hours sunbathing in......coupled with a vodka & orange and breakfast of fruit with yogurt.
Then I have a few jobs to do around the garden.
I have been invited on a ride later on but I am not sure about that.

Its going to be a tough day for them.

Morning all, bright and sunny here and I may venture out on the bike soon before it gets really hot, stay happy and keep smiling.

You need a fresh start with someone from another country

 

[Paulus]

Morning all, a nice sunny start to the day here. A bit cooler than yesterday's furnace heat
Out with the dog shortly with a stop for coffee midway. A bike ride a little later to Potters Bar Tesco as MrsP likes a certain brand of coffee pod and that is the nearest place that has them.
Gives me the chance to put in a few miles and stop at the Mitre on the way home.

Absolutely.

Its going to be a tough day for them.
Respect to them

It will be though judging by the forecast when they hit Cumbria temperatures will be down to 17C which may help.

Good morning. Just been told off by my wife for not watering enough the hanging baskets on the decking. Apparently, they are dead now. I have never been much of a gardener to be fair so next time I will just stick to cutting the grass, at least I can't go wrong doing that.

 

[Dirk]

Morning all.
We had a very nice day yesterday at our friends 60th - good to meet all the gang.
Going back home this morning, should be hitting the M5 at Bromsgrove around 10.30 am. Hopefully, the traffic shouldn't be too bad as most will be returning from Devon ready for Workie Monday.
Hope my Chilli plants have survived!
