Fair Warning Notice

I am in receipt of paperwork which says I should be applying for my own vehicle under the motability scheme. Appointment, telephone I'm assuming, next Tuesday to go through the applications. Driving licence and for the vehicle itself.

Should the road's go quiet again, it may just be that both applications have been approved.

You have been warned.

Now should I do Liverpool to Dublin or Holyhead to Dublin? 58 to Liverpool, 174 to Holyhead

Morning all, not one drop of vodka passed my lips last night, my self control is amazing.

Good morning all. Sorry carcass elevation sequence complete. No plan as yet, but then no Yorkyshire tea imbibed.

Good morning folks, cool and cloudy this morning, we may go for a walk later.

Is that a Schwinn?

Looks like it

Sawdust making day planned.

Start out making a rabbit hutch, then when it's turns out too small, just put all that saw dust inside and call it a guinea pig hutch - it all adds to the air of competence. That's what I'd do.

This must be remedied as soon as possible!

Aside ... shhhh ... poor chap really believes he's a screen. 😊

I have had a coffee and I am thinking seriously about getting out of bed.

As the infection rate now appears to significantly lower in that London, it'd be safer for me to pop down there for my weekly shop, right?

Just to add to the shorts thing. When I started cycling any distance more years ago than I care to think padded shorts were unheard of so I just wore normal underpants and shorts. I think some cissies who went racing every weekend had chamois but not much padding there. I was a tourist rather than a racer so generally did distances up to about 100 miles per day depending on where we could sleep.

Reminds me of, again, when I was 16/17. Me and a mate set off on our bikes with just a saddle bag for our gear. We slept where we could. One night a farmer allowed us to sleep in his barn.....that was cold.
We were away for a week, all over north Wales and Anglesey.
Memories are strange aren't they. 2 of the things I recall are a) we had toast and marmalade on the morning we set off b) we met 2 girls in a cafè near Caernarvon. I got the ugly one and her name was Nan Blodwyn Jones
