Not good when you are sat on the loo and think......I knew there was something I needed
Ski Sunday!MorningMinus 2 here and cars are frosted. When is it going to warm up a bit. Might even have snow on Sunday
Question!Hello people, trust you are all well? We're due a frost this morning though I don't think it will happen locally. The forecast sent me scurrying to the allotment to fleece up my plum tree to protect the emerging blossom.
I've been skimming through these last few days as I've been very busy. Hard to imagine but life seems to have suddenly exploded with stuff that needs doing.
So what has Paul been up to you ask? Or perhaps it's more God is he back.
Monday was aborted ride day due to a mechanical. I spent the day on housework which was a decent plan as Tuesday I was persuaded to ride by my buddies. Glorious weather and a beautiful route over 70 miles and plenty of climbs. Equalled my PB on the biggest hill, disappointing in some respects.
Then Tuesday evening was the first club event since groups of 15 were permitted. I bobbed down to observe behaviour. We run training rides and a chainy over a 28 mile loop. Instead of everyone meeting at 5.30 and 6.30 we offered scheduled start times of 5.30, 6.00, 6.10, 6.20 and 6.30. Over 50 members turned out and we got six different groups riding without a hitch. Delighted with the turnout and behaviour.
Wednesday and Thursday have been chores plus loads of cycle club admin as we prepare people for weekend rides. Got my bikes properly clean and ditto the car which admittedly still needs a polish. Maybe Saturday.
Today? Out with a couple of buddies to reccy a new route we have put together for one of the club runs. Then a more serious effort at designing frost protection for my plums.
There now you're all caught up.

Got Cushelle. Prefer it now to Andrex which seems to have got very thin over the last few years.Getting close to "too much information" there MoI remembered
I've done cocks, turning them into trams and then into a reek. The reek being house shaped and around twenty foot "walls", with a further eight - nine feet drawing into the ridge.
What I can't understand is how farmers made a living back then. They employed so many people and still seemed to manage. Now, it's often the farmer and maybe a son doing nearly everything themselves, plus subsidies and they complain they can barely make a profit.
Not as many sheets on a roll of Cushelle though!I remembered
.........but it's not! It's wafer thin now and you need double the amount
More of the farm was used to keep the family, buying less in.
You been using the standard two-ply then?.........but it's not! It's wafer thin now and you need double the amount
The fact that we can buy 2.27 litres/4 pints of milk at Lidl/Aldi/etc for just over £1 is a bit of a clue!
