Good morning one and all. Forecast is for a decent day though all I can say is it's 6⁰C as too dark to see much else.
The birds are singing. Dawn chorus. Spring is coming.
@12boy are you guys OK? Have you been hit by the huge winter storms being reported over there?
Yesterday I was a proper granddad. No.2 son and partner are moving house. I got to hold, play with and cuddle my granddaughter properly for the first time. 🤗 We even had a nap together - the photo is less than flattering to one of us. 🤔. Wonderful feeling.
I'm riding my bike soon. Hills, hills, hills and one of my favourite roads. 👍
Take care in your day.

I have risen!
Good morning all fellow virus dodgers.
The weather looks like being damp and grey for most of the day here.
I am hoping to get out for a bimble later, but first a spot of wheel truing, I have noticed a distinct wobble on the front wheel which needs investigating.
The excitement of a trip to the local grocers for some fresh produce also awaits.
Another day in paradise

I retired for about the fifth time at the age of 66 in 2013.
I was totally exhausted after 5 years of cancer treatment and basically said "Never again". I bought myself a camper and resolved to travel all around Europe. I took up running to get myself fit again.
Then in 2014 along came the WW1 centenary and ancient old historians such as myself were dragged out of the cupboard, dusted off and asked to do various jobs giving talks about WW1 and the events leading up to it.
In 2016 I managed to fit it all together by driving to Ypres, parking up in my vamper, giving lots of talks to various interest groups and running in the great peace half-marathon
As for filling my days, well... my latest project is planning a 900 mile cycle ride with my Sister Jo. We share house, dogs and lifestyle together and seem also to be slipping into not so genteel senility together

Good morning all.
No rain here and none forecast.....although it does look threatening. Temperature set to hit double figures which is great, so long as it doesn't dip again....... it's been a looooong winter
.
Got up at 0630, had my coffee, cleared everything up and feel like going back to bed.....think I may do just that.
MrsD got our daughter to get us (ME) a prawn cocktail* and some crusty bread, for my birthday meal. MrsD does a lovely PC* but is just not able to do it at present.
Have to say..... it wasn't good!!
Prawn cocktail full of pasta... what's that about ???
Crusty loaf is like lead, very disappointing.
On the positive side she got me some Brie from the Coop which was melt in the mouth gorgeous.
