Hmmmm.......I just Googled Chorley Male Vampires........quite disturbing really.

Well it's that or watch Luminaries. Mrs P has decided this is so bad she has to watch every episode to see what happens!!

My view would be different!

Jeez, some of the anti-cyclist brigade on my local page are still complaining about cyclists on the shared footpath. Hardly anyone seems to have a good word to say about cyclists these days. Personally I think they are actually jealous because most of them are so fat and lazy they couldn’t get on a bike never mind ride for a mile

Theres a burning building. A passing motorists stops and sees Mother Theresa and Adolph Hitler screaming for help from a balcony. The fire is spreading fast and the motorist knows he'll have only enough time to save one of them. He's just about to rush in when he sees Mother Theresa's bicycle padlock to the railings.

So he rushed in and saved Hitler. That's about how loved I feels as a cyclist these days.

I get fed up trying to fight our corner. Afraid it’s a losing battle.

I'd have let both of them fry and nicked the bike.

Hope you don't mind a quickie from an interloper (always read this blog and feel like a distant cousin in a disfunctional family), out local council has just announced that the bus lanes which were only in force during morning and evening rush hours, have been extended from 7.00AM to 6.30PM to help cyclists. Within a few hours of the news breaking in the local rag, there were almost 200 comment, nearly all complaining

Yep......this is what I’m finding just now. More and more hatred! What on earth have we done to upset them so much?

I've just had a quick look, it;s now over 300 and someone has started a petition to try and stop it.

Morning. Wee bit cloudy and going to be another breezy one but I think we'll get off mostly dry today. Just a walk shortly. I'll see later if I want to brave the wind for a but not currently feeling enthusiastic.

Morning all, looking nice outside today, certainly worth getting out of bed for.

We got back from Pattaya late afternoon yesterday, after a very nice week there. Starting this morning, have decided to change my routine a little. First thing - go for a 45 min walk, then the 1 hr bike ride, then a light breakfast. After that, a shower, and only then do I have a perusal on the web. All too easy to slouch first thing and waste the 'cooler' part of the day when I should be out exercising. Hoping this will shift the somewhat augmented stomach derived from a week of beer and unhealthy food

They do say exercising first thing before you have eaten is supposed to help burn off the fat better. I think it does, but you have to be careful not to work at too high an intensity or you can run out of steam! Plus, if you're like me and put off going out till later, apart from the weather often getting worse, the enthusiasm can sometimes disappear too.

Good morning everyone. Still blowing an absolute hoolie outside, +/- 45mph I'd estimate. Forecast is to drop to 22 and only 16 at our cafe destination!!!! Decision to be taken at 8.00 but I can see this wind completely dampening my already waning enthusiasm. This lockdown business keeps getting harder.

A few small jobs need doing on the allotment. If Mrs P decides on paint colour I can emulsion.

I think a doze is now in order.

Today I'm one year older - 66. Did we all feel it was unimaginable in the heady days of youth?
