Good morning people, we've got to finish our shopping this morning, our market was closed yesterday as it was a bank holiday, we don't normally go into town shopping on a Saturday.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Good morning. Looks like a nice day is in store for us. Stay safe.
Good morning fellow retirees,
Another glorious day with temperatures of 23 being promised.
Mrs Tenkay saw a family walk past the house yesterday afternoon, she remarked that the dad and the two teenage children were wearing those big over the ears headphones🎧, so they couldn't really have a natter as they walked. One of the joys of being out in the open is the glorious birdsong, but each to their own.
Have a lovely peaceful day folks
🏃🚶🚲🌞

You're right there is a Coronation Rec in Chorley. Perhaps I'd better not ask about your sleeping arrangements.....
1986 Paul😯 I'd been invited to take part in a race by a lovely guy called Stan Jewel. We'd narrowly avoided been wiped out in a Motorway accident on the way up and so it was the early hours of morning before we found the park.
The promised accommodation turned out to be a caravan parked in the small car park, but Stan didn't want to wake the other runners at such a late hour so he kindly offered us the floor of the green keepers hut.
After a chilly and restless few hours we gave up and wandered down the road and found a small market with a café where we had breakfast before ambling back to the park for the start of the race.
Happy memories 🏃😁👍

Morning all. Somebody has got one of the those saucepans and wooden spoons from Thursday night and is banging it inside my head 
. Self inflicted so no sympathy requested.
Apart from that I feel OK. Like Mo I am up late for me. Coffee being enjoyed. I will shortly have a shower then nip to the butchers as they were selfishly closed yesterday. They make their own sausages and burgers** and I will get that lamb for a curry.
**Daughter has put the kybosh on our planned BBQ. You may recall that the family was coming around to sit in the garden but then they changed their minds as they were worried about getting in trouble. So, we then decided on a BBQ today. Well, apparently so many of their neighbours had parties yesterday that they have now decided "why not" and messaged to say they are coming but only for a cuppa. So bang goes the BBQ.
As others have said, this is the last nice day for a while. Crazy weather or what?? I have a better colour than if I had gone to Majorca.
Mo & Welshie. I need you to look away when I say this OK.
Our side garden is totally private..........it cannot be overlooked. So I enjoy sunbathing in my birthday suit. I would never dream of a nudist holiday or even going nude on a beach but its quite pleasant to feel at one with nature and the sun on your bits.
You can both look back now

Thank God your neighbours can't see you.

Good Morning one and all. Another beautiful day has dawned. 12C already so it will be summer short sleeved jersey on the bike today - first time without arm warmers this year.
Like Mo I'm a bit late through a bad night. Woke at 3.00ish but went back to doze for 90 minutes around 6.45. I don't feel rested but have had sleep. I've more enthusiasm for today than I had yesterday. I've managed to rationalise what has been bothering me, while it's still at the front of my mind I've stopped worrying. A good thing. Enough of this.
Not sure what today will bring after the ride but it is glorious so perhaps some general mooching around the garden and allotment and then read. We shall see. Tonight we have a video quiz. We did one last night with 18 other households, worked quite well. Tonight is with four other friends. Sunday we have an online meeting with another bunch. This is all good in one way but I could do with a quiet evening in!!

If I tried that round here I'd be lynched or arrested.

Oh good grief. What is it with you two????? We're all over 60 - at least!!! Mind you tan lines do look bloody ridiculous on the beach.
