Good morning folks.
Good morning fellow retirees,
There's blue bins along the road which means that today is Tuesday. Just brewed the coffee. Mrs Tenkay mistakenly ordered six bags of coffee beans instead of ground, so we've invested in a coffee grinder.
The only problem with that is that I now have an " Agadoo earworm" 😊
Have a lovely peaceful day folks

Morning. A very misty, murky morning here. I was up very early as usual. Stuck front and back lights on the hybrid and set off into the gloom for a very gentle spin. Really took my time and enjoyed it.

Good day to you all. It's light grey, still and 16C which given the forecast is good news.
Today we are heading to Marsden which is between Rochdale and Huddersfield. There we will meet four friends who live down the road from us and play tennis with my wife in our village. We will be doing an eight mile walk followed by chippy tea. I'm promised the chippy is excellent. One of our friends is not good at social distancing so there will be some challenges during the day.
Yes to my Yorkshire friends my passport is packed and I have re-entry visa. 😄
@Tenkaykev thanks for the bin reminder. I had forgotten.
Time to make breakfast, picnic, water tomatoes and put the bins out.
There are plans afoot for a 💯 miler on Thursday. I need to jump in the WhatsApp group and pass on my route suggestions otherwise I fear we will end up in Cheshire. I'm just a tad concerned traffic will be heavier down there.
Enjoy your day.

Morning all. Sat outside slurping a coffee....no thunder and lightning though. That was good last night. MrsD is famed for hiding under the stairs during a storm but strangely she sat outside with me. We dont get many lightning storms here but that was a good one.
I have yesterdays delayed Aldi dash to do at 0730. After that I have no idea. Maybe I should go and queue up at Primark or Ikea
If you like a good queue from what I saw on the telly box the Nike store looks a good bet.
Back from my Aldi dash.
Strange we have not seen white cabbage** for weeks. 2 weeks ago there were some in the Spar shop but at 3 x normal price. Must be a national problem.........maybe Classic cam find out.
**MrsD makes her own coleslaw which I love. I just dont like shop bought.
No idea what we are doing today......not very much me thinks.

Wonder if the postie will have my tyres this morning. I have Vittoria Rubino Pros on the Cube road bike and they have done 4,000 miles so better change them before they start letting me down.....literally! Lol. They have been excellent so just sticking another pair on.

Morning all....Nice morning so far, rain possible this afternoon. So a long walk with the dog. He was a naughty boy yesterday evening, pinched a bit of chicken tikka that wifey was cooking, it was hot and spicy, so ran out into the hall and threw up 
do dogs ever learn?
Have a good day peeps! 🌈

I fitted some Continental Urban on my Brommie to replace the Marathon Plus. The ride and suspension feels a lot smoother. They're supposed to be p*ncture resistant but time will tell.
I've suggested to Mrs Tenkay that she take my Brommie for a spin and see how it compares to her bike which has standard Marathons fitted.
