Morning. Tossed and turned until around 2am and still back up at 5

Bit chilly just now, but by the time it warms up the wind is going to be back too. Must make the effort and get a short spin later though.

Good morning folks, another cold bright and breezy morning, housework to do today, nothing else planned, though I need to pick up my tablets from the chemist at some point.

Good morning folks,
Had a virtual club meeting last night via " Zoom"
It worked well and it was great to see a few familiar faces again.
We've been given a challenge for this week, to do a 30 minute run "naked"

Not as interesting as it seems, just start your watch and then run for what you estimate to be 30 minutes, then stop your watch and note the actual elapsed time.
We're all honor bound not to cheat, and there will be a virtual prize for whoever is closest to 30 minutes.

Have a lovely day folks 🌞🙏👍🚲🏃🚶😊

Good Morning. A beautiful, sunny still morning here in Paradise. Woke at 4.00 but managed to get back to sleep till 5.30 - better then getting up at 4.00!!!!

Today's ride postponed till the afternoon. Why you ask. This morning I have an interesting task. Spent yesterday afternoon on the allotment and five minutes after getting back in the house while drying my hands realised my wedding ring was missing.

Last task had been planting out 12 broccoli so this morning I'm going to dig up 12 broccoli!! I've rationalised this to checking:

1. Put out appeal on village FB group for metal detector!
2. Area where I wiped hands on rag
3. The spot where I emptied bucket of cold water I plunged the plants
4. Check shed and rubbish box
5. Check surface of bed
6. Carefully dig out each plant in turn
7. Visit jewellers when reopen

Very unhappy about this.

Morning everyone, hope everyone's okay on this sunny morning - waiting on a phone call to confirm whether I'm needed to deliver out PPE to the local,district nurses today..... if not it looks good for a spin out. 😎👍

Good morning.
Mo, I went to bed at 2200. I tossed and turned for maybe half a minute then remember nothing till 0600 this morning
This morning is exercise bike morning followed by weights and situps. I may have a walk to the co-op later as they have the only bits I need and it gives me over a mile walk.
Just enjoying a coffee before anything else.
Have a good day all.

Oh good luck with the gold hunting, but it looks like you have a plan 👍

That is sad Paul. I hope you find it.
Keep us informed.

It is Dave. 40 years in November.

Anyway I'm off to the allotment, hopefully to return with good news.

I've put out an appeal for a metal detector on our community and cycle club FB groups. Probably covers 350 people who live locally so may prove lucky. You never know people's interests.

See you all later.
