Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

Morning all. I have had an awful headache all night so I am not in the best of moods at the moment. Stay safe folks.

Good morning folks, its a bright and sunny morning, I'm off for a bike ride later.
Good morning fellow retirees,
Our neighbours rang the bell last night and left a bag containing beer and wine.
They said it was a "thank you" for letting them park one of their cars on our driveway ( they have 2 grown up daughters each with their own car )
We usually eat quite a healthy diet, but last night we were a bit decadent and enjoyed Vegan sausage roll, oven chips and baked beans washed down with Doom Bar 😯😁🍺
Have a lovely day folks 🚶🏃🚲

I have belatedly risen!
Late night last night.
Late night last night.
Morning all
Hope you feel better @welsh dragon .
Off to Barnstaple this morning for the first time in over a month; some shopping we need that we can't get locally.
Going to drop in to the caravan storage on the way through and rotate the wheels on the van. Will drop in to the brewery across the way whilst we're there and pick up a couple of cases of wallop.
Back home to get stuck into the garden later.

Take it easy, ibuprofen and try to nap to get rid of it.

Good morning all. It's a beautiful day here which doesn't really match my mood. I may go for a ride this afternoon but I'm heading towards a can't be arsed sort of day. I think I shall get dressed, have breakfast, potter on the allotment for a bit. This may improve my mood and general lethargy.
@screenman I know that groggy feeling and think I may have a touch of it though I only had a beer and small(ish) whisky last night. I think I'm going to stop buying whisky, it is too tempting.

A photo will be required if you claim success in this noteworthy mission. Good luck.

Morning. Enjoyed a more leisurely stroll this morning. Nearly all the beech trees by the river have carvings in them people have made over the years so I was wandering along trying to read some of them. Some are so old you can't make them out. The oldest legible one I could read was done in 1971. I wonder where all these people are now. What they have done with their lives. Are some even still alive.
Weetabix and banana time. I fancy another lazy day in the hope that my legs might feel refreshed for a decent ride tomorrow.

If the Alpaca cake shop is out of stock you could buy a square cake, print out a photo of an Alpaca as a template and carve your own.
A bit of judicious work with a pallete knife and a can of squirty cream around the exposed edges and she will never know the difference 🎂🤔

Before I disappear for a while here is my effort in the club 20 mile challenge. The target was to ride 20 miles and climb as many feet as possible. One must start by bike from home but the actual 20 miles can start anywhere. Each climb/hill can only be done once from each side, so up, down otherside, turn round and up again is OK. You'll see in the Horwich area I did quite a lot of mucking about to basically get up to the same spot three times!!!! It was all about finding good elevation with lots of roads leading to it!
The bit that appears to end in the middle of nowhere is the summit of Winter Hill (1498ft) - if you've driven along the M61/M65 you may have spotted the big transmitter mast. It's also the site of the 1958 air crash when 30+ people died. At the time the weather was so bad the people working inside the TV transmitter station didn't know about the crash even though it was only a few hundred yards away.

I just did a short video clip to send to my cousin in Australias daughter for her 18th birthday. Felt a total plonker doing it.
