weve been as a family for fathers/Mother’s Day over the last couple of years and it’s been good, it does have a Mediterranean feel about the place but the food has been excellent and suited everyone in our group, I’d certainly recommend it.

I have had a trundle on the hybrid in case the rain arrived. Thought I might have needed the mudguards. It held off though but was a bit murky at one point. For the first time in years I rode without a helmet. Not intentional. I was a couple of minutes out when I realised. Should really have gone back but carried on thinking it might have been cooler. Not sure it was and I felt naked, exposed and a bit guilty all the way round! 
Given that my bad crash five or six years ago when I smashed the collar bone also dented and scraped my helmet, I really don't like not wearing one now.

There's one called The Phoenix in Astley Village which is a relatively new build estate on the outskirts of town. I've never been and never heard anyone speak of it.
The other possibility is the Little Hong Kong which is in the upstairs of a local pub The Dressers Arms. I haven't been for years but it has a good reputation.

Overcast but not raining yet. Got to go for bloods this morning so no early run today.
Just had a long fight with BT who want me to renew my broadband contract for somebody else's house. To be fair [ can't think why] it is not entirely their fault as the Post Office introduced wrong information in their post code software when this was first computerised and which still crops up from time to time. Most businesses have updated their software but not BT. Trying to correct this fault on line is impossible so it has to be a phone call which is as bad as the impenetrable web site.
The local post office just deliver by name but at christmas when there was a stranger on we had to exchange mail as I got the wrong mail as did the other household. Fortunately we all get on well so just a temporary inconvenience.
Must go and get needled now which might calm me down.

Liverpool FC officially won the prem league last night.
It might mean nowt to some people but I am a life long supporter.
I really wanted my son (also a lfc supporter) to see us win it before I popped my clogs.
So...... I am slightly hung over this morning.
Been up since 0700 but am ready to go back now

I really like the new "Graphite Grey" Brompton.
I have my Orange and Black runaround Brommie, and my " Sunday Best" CHPT3 which was my significant birthday treat last year.
Surely one more wouldn't hurt... 😊

I had to google CHPT3 - looks very sleek and stylish. I've never owned a folding bike, but they do look neat. I note they are now sold out, not that I'm looking to buy at the moment - just passing lockdown time I guess.

Morning all.... We had an early Asda delivery and an early walk with the dog, it's getting scorchio again.
I was going to post this in the joke thread, but seeing as it's about a pensioner I thought I'd put it here....
Yesterday I was at my local TESCO store buying a large
bag of Pedigree dog food for my loyal pet and was
in the checkout queue when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog.
What did she think I had, an elephant?
So, since I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Pedigree Diet again.
I added that I probably shouldn’t, because I ended up in hospital last time, but I'd lost 2 stone before
I woke up in intensive care with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IV's in both arms.
I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that
it works is to load your pockets with Pedigree nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally
complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in queue was now enthralled with
my story.) Horrified, she asked me if I ended up in intensive care because the dog
food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off the kerb to sniff an Irish Setter's arse and a car hit me.
I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard.
I'm now banned from TESCO. Better watch what you ask retired people.
....Have a cool day peeps! 🌈
