Clearly we have no dressmakers in the house. She was having trouble getting the hem straight so I had to put the dress on while Mrs P pinned the hem.

I hope none of you had other ideas.

Oh of course not.Nod nod Wink wlnk🙈🙈🙈🙈

Doggie walk done.
Went out across the caravan site, just down the road from us. It would normally be heaving at this time of year when the weather is like it is.

Morning.

I borrowed a lovely route from @PaulSB and tackled it this morning, 27 miles with 2700ft of climbing, I say lovely until I had to go up Whalley Nab, steep, steep and a bit steeper, apparently it’s in the top climbs in the UK.
i literally had two different families encouraging me up it! I wasn’t able to thank them as I couldn’t breathe fully..... thanks Paul!

Bored now.

I've spent most of the morning out in the front garden, I've sorted the bolt on the gate, weeded, divided a couple of perennials and I've now got to wait and see how well the plants take.

Bread is baked. Veg soup is simmering.
Not had a shave or shower yet so thats next on the agenda.

Molly walked but I will take her again after 4.30 pm when the tide is low so she can have a run on the beach and then a bath when we get home.
Probably do more painting before that and my 45 minutes turbo I should have done yesterday. Oh! and the bearing on the washing machine is on its way out. It sounds like a Jumbo Jet taking off when it spins. No plans to buy another one though as it could still last for a while.

It's a goody!!!! Glad you enjoyed the route. The Nab is tough but very satisfying so long as you can still breathe at the top.

, I've sorted the bolt on the gate, weeded,

Reminded me.... I need a wee

 

[Dave7]

Should have posted this earlier. This is the first course

Good afternoon, just back from a ride around the lanes. Only one puncture though.

I know I don't do the mileage some of you guys do but I rarely get a p*****re. Got one on a Specialised I was trying out and one in my hire bike in Majorca last year but apart from that none.
I normally ride Gatorskins but on this bike its come with ???? punture resistant ones. Only had 5 rides on it so here's hoping

Watching the grass grow under your feet?

Another little hybrid bimble done. Bit breezy again. Stopped on a bridge over the river to admire the swans.

Turbo done, next is Molly's turn on the beach in about an hour and then Aperitif time with a glass of Port and some amuses-gueule. After that, easy evening in front of the box I suppose.
Tomorrow? pretty much the same but no turbo ( day off ) except for a quick trip to Lidl for bread. Isn't life exciting?
