Just going to finish off the peanut cookies Pam made first though.

Good morning. Slept through till 6.30 which is very good, feel a bit stiff after yesterday's ride which surprises me. Anyway.

Rain in the night which was welcome though unexpected. It's now still with cloud and sun. Looks good but then.........I can't see much cycling happening today. Started a 1000 piece Jigsaw last night, I was ill and off school last time I did this.

Absolutely no plans for the day though I must sow lettuce seed. That's all folks.

Ooooooo...........I forgot. I am now a proper pensioner. Lots of government beer tokens arrived overnight. Must say it's a nice feeling to have a regular income for the first time in 3 or 4 years - I forget which now. 🤯

Yeah.
Not too shabby is it?
I get full pension while MrsD gets (I think) 80%.
I keep telling my son and daughter they must keep working hard so as to keep daddy's pot topped up

Good morning folks

Good morning fellow retirees,
Another day dawns, a cool and windy one.
I did some Brommie fettling yesterday, just checking tyres had air, chain was lubed etc, then fitted new Ergon grips.
Mrs Tenkay noticed that the excellent Brilliant Bikes YouTube channel had a video showing the new Brompton colours, and she's been drooling over the Flame Lacquer...

Have a lovely peaceful day folks

Good morning all fellow retirees.
It's been raining overnight and looks like we will get some more later.
Yesterday evening we had an escape committee meeting in our local field, socially distancing of course. Ale was drunk, and various topics discussed.

Today I am helping my son trim a very large bush, as he needs to get access to his back stairs for repair and painting.
Who was it who wanted a link for hair clippers? @Dave7

As I was typing this I did think it sounded a bit wrong 😉

I trimmed my bush last night, a big fern that had started to block the shed door.

Morning all... Rain predicted on and off today, so out with the dog when it's an off bit. A bit of Brompton fettling sounds like a good idea, hasn't been done for a couple of weeks. Have a good day peeps! 🌈

Misread Brommie the first time and wondered what on earth you'd been up........🤔

I have trundled...........even slower than a bimble I think. Back on the heavy clunker of a hybrid since the roads were a bit damp plus wanted to sit up and enjoy the views.

Morning all

Doggie walking first thing, then I've got a rockery to build in the front garden.
Fish & Chips ordered to be picked up later.

I have some dents to play with, then maybe begin the overhaul of our lounge, we are think false chimney breast with focal fire place of some kind.
