I thought that too Dave, but didn't want to risk the wrath of Welshie!
She is a real softee at heart, if you can find it.
If you meet her and want to leave in one piece (not many do) then take a rather large slice of cream cake as an offering.

Was it extra sleep, or just catching up on sleep missed earlier this morning?

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
This could turn out to be a sh*t day.
MrsD is improving slowly but still sleeping a lot and not eating much.
I am improving but it takes a while to come round. I am still weak and keep losing balance but OK I can handle that.
Then........
0830 I get a phone call to say the aunty has
Collapsed and someone has phoned for an ambulance. Neither me or MrsD are capable of getting there so I phone the SiL and she has gone round with her hubby.
Latest update.......
2 hours later.....no ambulance. They, of course, blame covid 19
.
We are just waiting.

I am really starting to dread this autumn/winter and how things are going to pan out. Not just Covid itself but all the other things that are being affected.

I'm in Palmers garden centre at Ullusthorpe with a coffee and a sausage batch. I've decided to ride a short one.
Right that is it I am going to do something soon, lazing around in my PJ's just will not do. Mind you having said that I have been proactive this morning it that my brothers Xmas pressie has been ordered so another one ticked off the list.
Now the moral bit, is it wrong to use the gift token I was given as a pressie from him nearly 2 years ago wrong to use to buy his pressie?

I am thinking of coming over to the dark side.........and getting an ebike.
I bought a new Whyte Stirling and used it maybe 4 times before these problems hit. I am writing this year off and will hopefully be ok for next spring.
1st step......I have just given my nice shiny bike to my son.
2nd step......research into what to buy.
Ribble do a nice looking hybrid which they claim weighs 13.5 Kg.......about the same as my old hard tail.
Gears are Sram 1 x 11 which should do me.
What think the wise old heads of the retired CCrs ?

You gave your bike away!!!
Definitely a good idea.
Gift tokens are imo very hard to spend.
We got some for NEXT......dreadful. Took us 2 years and we eventually used them to buy someone else a present.
Your Bro gave you them to get something useful......a present for him is useful.
A clear win win imo.
To my little boy.
I would rather give it to my son who will appreciate it that sell it privately and take a hit.

I have done this recently and think it very acceptable. I was given a substantial gift token which at the time I couldn't spend as I needed nothing. I bought one of my boys some cycle kit he needed.
When ready I'll buy myself something I need/want guilt free** Problem with gift vouchers is if the retailer doesn't stock what you're after you end up buying something you don't really want.
** I've got my eye on some really good bike packing gear but can't make a decision till the new bike arrives and I can calculate stem length etc.
