Morning. By George it's a wee bit nippy out there.

Good morning fellow retirees,

Woke up to a cup of coffee on my bedside table, Mrs Tenkay was up and about and I was still feeling zonked. Might be the after effects of my tackling part of the "Cote du Holme Moss" on the turbo yesterday

Me too. Some American called Martha Reeves is on. What has she ever done?

So you're saying that the BBC are Vandellaising SOTS?

I think she had a market stall in the 60s
TBF she is playing some good stuff (providing you like soul type music).
And ..........where are are the terrible jokes?
And......where is the nearly gold medallion ?

The series of strike is back on this weekend on BBC.

We had this discussion before I think but.......in my mind you live in the flat lands of Lincoln while Doncaster is in Yorkshire.
Roughly what distance is it ?

And it's rainingraining

And I see that the actor who played Black Panther in the Avenger series has died from Colon cancer. He was only 43.

 

[Dave7]

Anyway.
Good day to all.
Yesterday we got a load of winter plants (40) and this morning will be planting them.
@PaulSB I liked your idea re Violas but MrsD had her heart set on trailing plants for the front.
We next need some taller stuff for behind them BUT we only want them for winter as we have plans for summer/autumn plants.

Just heard that.
I dont know him but its sad to see any people go like that at that age.

Good morning people, bright and breezy this morning, the washing that I had to bring in and spin yesterday is back out on the line again, hopefully it will dry this time.

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

Raining hard overnight. Its stopped now, but still breezy out there.

Morning all, thermometer is reading 6.5. Making porridge for the first time in months but resisting putting the heating on. So far.

Bonjour. Still in bed so no idea what it is like outside so far. I am glad the big day has finally arrived and I have booked the TV for every afternoon till the TdF is finished. My rides will have to be in the morning now until the end in Paris.
Allez Pinot!!

Everything is brighter than yesterday. Temperature is supposed to be similar but its surprising what a bit of sunshine does.
