I think Perth might have been called St John’s Town at some point?
It was indeed

My neighbour across the road is away to play on his old tractor 
He loves it. It gets to stay in the garage while his car sits on the drive. Lol.

Good day. I slept till 8.40! Mrs P says I look very rested. This is probably code for "no bags under the eyes." 😂
It's shite outside - again. I've had enough of this weather now. I want to ride my bicycle.
Whisper this quietly or all hell will break loose. My cycling club will start rides in groups of no more than 15 on March 30th. Today's task is to carefully read all the BC guidance, understand it and decide on how best to inform our membership of our official policy on Covid-19 secure riding. It may be a long day..........

Bloody big groups of cyclists. They are just a nuisance!
Not something I fancy. Too much of a loner and it’s hard enough concentrating on road conditions and traffic without someone wittering in my lugs beside me
It’s nice to talk about cycling rather than look at another two threads that just seem to be going round and round in endless circles. Is there really so many terrified, paranoid women out there or am I and most of the women I see around here just brave or lucky to live in a good area?

Good morning.... I've met Mr B Bumble several times on Brompton rides, nice bloke
Out for a walk shortly, meeting up with our daughter for a walk at Ally Pally. Nice morning so far, the views should be good!

I did group rides for somewhere around 15 years, enjoyed most of them but eventually I stopped enjoying them and started to struggle to keep up with my usual group, I did a slower ride for a couple of years but eventually drifted into riding alone.

Is it a Fergie? An ancient here used to come into town every Saturday from a farm 5 miles away for his shopping on an old Fergie. His only means of transport. Used to drive these myself at one time.My neighbour across the road is away to play on his old tractor

You live in a reasonable area. My wife had no qualms about walking home on her own from her badminton night in the town where I still live.Bloody big groups of cyclists. They are just a nuisance!

Grey start but the sun is now out so hopefully will get out later. Got bread rising so need to look after that.
Council Tax notice arrived yesterday. No change as tax is frozen in Scotland this year and water and sewage remain the same also.
I get a bit annoyed with my family sometimes. They asked if there was anything I needed and I said that on my next mainland visit I would get some Bouillion and mebbe a pot plant but not anything urgent. What arrives by post from Amazon? A large tub of Bouillion and an expensive pot plant. Much more than I would have spent and while it is good of them it is not necessarily what I wanted.

I still prefer the Fergie.
