We, theoretically, get our new phones today.
We are on contract and after bebating things we decided to stay contract with Virgin.
Samsung A20s with 1 GB** and unlimited texts & calls (not that use those very much). £12 per month.
Just been notified by Yodel that its 'out for delivery'.
Hope its soon as I want to get in the garden and do those jobs.
**1 GB is plenty as we have wifi at home.

Does remind me of when we renewed the hall and livingroom carpets. The dump then was commonly known as the spares department. The whole lot was too big for our van so took one lot up and came back for the rest. By the time we got up with the second load the first carpet had already gone to a new home somewhere.
Kind of you to buy a bag of crisps for Mrs Dirk........enjoy both of your pints

Extremely pleasant cycling this morning, glorious sunshine and a nice cool 16 degrees, rising to 18 by the time I got back. Harperrig Reservoir looking serene...

I love Lancashire but my goodness you've made me jealous recently.
It is....only they use the term 'Emmet' (ant) in Cornwall.

A hard 60+ on the bike today and home with a respectable 16.5 avg. We met what my lady riding partner described as a typical alpha male - no one was going by him.
We had a good pace going, at this point we were averaging 17.1**, and heading up a narrow ascending lane. One of my favourite climbs but today we didn't push it. I spotted a guy ahead who was clearly ambling along, I knew we would catch him, waited for a clear view, called "out" to my buddy, the rider in front swung across me from left to right, dug in and sprinted.
We carried on at our pace, about a mile later we approached him again, this time we simply went by without a word. Next thing I know he's sprinting by us. It's just not cool.
Anyway we had a great ride. ** The nature of our last five miles home means maintaining the average at 17 is a huge achievement - almost impossible.
Next job is prepare tea, cut and strim grass and wander up to the club for a beer.

@Dave7 not ignoring your troughs but I'm really not the guy for this one. I can identify stuff, tell you how to grow it but I'm a rubbish gardner.
Mrs P runs our garden. She told me 25+ years ago - we don't have a garden, we have a collection of plants you like. After a bit of thought I realised she was right, I enjoy plants individually, I don't do contrasts, what can I put here, blending colours etc.
I appreciate it when done but can't see it myself. 😢

Many years ago we had friends that moved to Devon (Newton Abbott). Within 6 months we went to visit them and they were calling us Grockles
Appreciated thanks. Mr Google is very helpful.
BTW......just found out I have been UNDER feeding the tomato and pepper.
I thought instructions were one cap but its actually 8 times that.
They will weigh 1 Lb each by tomorrow
