I edged one side of my front lawn.

How many sides does it have?

Nine.
Eleven if you count top and bottom.

I want to know where the past four years have gone. You see at the end of May. Both kids will be coming back home from Uni till all this virus thing has finished. One from Edinburgh one from Manchester,plus a wonderful girlfriend.Like millions of other students and families not of us have faced anything like this. We are lucky we have the space and we have a wonderful relationship, and i am looking forward to enjoying their company . But four years in the blink of an eye. But how they have matured and grown as people.. Just superb. And finally i did 50 mins none stop on the turbo this afternoon in the sunshine, that is equal to cycling 12 miles to Otley.

Did a nice little 30 mile cycle with my better half . Fitted in a visit to the sailing club while we were out . We might even have had a cheeky glass of wine while we were there too lol. There are certain advantages to being the club bar manager 😀

Nice looking loaf, but wait! Isn't that a rather large looking Glenfiddich accompanying it?

Do I get this right? Both your kids are coming back to live with you when they have been somewhere else since the lockdown? I would think this is asking for trouble as you don't know if they may be carriers. Very dangerous position for you and your wife I say.

Not Glenfiddich but close

I certainly won't judge but when our grandson and girlfriend came back from Uni to the daughters house when this was all kicking off we said....... we love you all but please dont visit. As it is they are not allowed to now but our thoughts were 'university. Lots of young people living in flats etc.... no thanks'.

Knocked this together this morning before my ride out, a first in the gas house - curried shepherds/ cottage pie with turmeric mash, extra mature cheese and Boursin as a topping - let’s see what it looks like after some heat in the oven 👍 anyone else having something different tonight??

It’s out, Boursin looks burnt but it’s not

And the official score from the gassers is 8/10 and they all went back for seconds, can’t be bad 👍😂
