MrsD wants to go to see the Neolithic stone circles at Stanton Drew tomorrow.
Apparently they are the 3rd largest in England, After Stone Henge and Avebury, but nowhere near as well visited.
Should be interesting.

Will you be reenacting the ritual sacrifice!

Good Morning. Outside looks grey and still but dry. A bit on the dark side as well.

Last night Mrs P asked what I had planned for today. Nothing was my reply. She looked at me. It was an unusual reply, normally something is in my mind.

I think today will be ironing, bit of time on the allotment, collect meds and an ALDI run. We have mushrooms which need eating so today's challenge is to come up with something other than the fallback of mushroom risotto or stroganoff - both good but too easy. Paul is determined to be imaginative on this one!!!

One of my regular group announced last night he will be riding solo. The local authority border between Bolton and Chorley is very close here. The club has many members who technically live in Bolton. The guy I regularly ride with is going solo again though his local area has very low infection levels.

As a club we had begun to think of restarting weekend rides but I feel yesterday's announcement means there is little point.

I feel a little unsure about today. A snooze is called for followed by a reappraisal of the situation. 😀

Morning all...Nice start to the day. Porridge and 2 slices of Mrs GM's fancy bread toasted and a mug of tea being eaten as I type. Doing an hour of gardening first, before I start making a noise with the cement mixer, got to think of the neighbours!
Have a good day folks! 🌈

Good morning people, we have a trip to a local garden centre this morning taking my brother in law and his wife with us, then down the club for the afternoon, possibly our last for a while.

Well the snooze idea hasn't worked. Time for breakfast and Google mushroom recipes.

@numbnuts how are you doing today?

gday cobbers.
Quite gray here but no rain.
First 2 jobs done
1. Tidy up and wash stuff that shouldn't go in the machine.
2. Change a light bulb
A mixed day for me. U Utilities are due this morning to test our drinking water after they flushed the main pipes overnight.
Slight problem......they didn't turn up to flush them .
So, at 0800 I have to phone up and go through all the press 1 for x , press 2 for y.
MrsD is out with the auntie.
Oh yes, I am putting a veg casserole in the slow cooker.

Morning all, sunny and chilly here.

The concurrent running of the Tour with Tirreno-Adriatico is filling our evening tv with wall to wall cycling. Yesterday’s Tirreno stage in Tuscany was just beautiful.

Calm and sunny here this morning.
Rabbits are hopping about the field and Swallows are swooping low.
Definitely slightly cooler last night.
Off out and about in a couple of hours time.

Guys, I feel we have been infiltrated by a spy of some kind, this morning Pam asked alexa what she was doing and the answer came back " having a bimble around the clouds" Now I do not know about you lot but I only know of one person who bimbles.
