Morning all . I have got up today feeling terrible. Hot and cold sweats, feeling sick , joint pain , stomach cramps , splitting headache and a overwhelming feeling of gloom and despondency.

The thing is I know exactly why I am feeling this way and no I don’t have the flu or COVID or any other illness, it’s far worse than that.
Last night I had a phone call from an old friend offering me the chance of part time W@RK.😂😂😂😀😀
I feel ill just reading that.

[QUOTE="Dirk,

Hey ho! What to do today? :scratch:

Crush your enemies, scatter them before you and enjoy the lamentations of their women.

In the US version it involves a tall lady, a short gent and a bucket, which is kicked when his ears start wiggling.

Had a sweet 20 mile ride on my Brompton yesterday, in shorts. Then a quick rototill of the garden and placement of walkways, in prep for putting the coldframes on and planting some snowpeas. Later on, I will plant some seeds, cover the coldframes, and enjoy the lamentations of the Robins since the greedy little robbers will then be unable to dig up and eat my snowpeas.

My biggest problem with working was jobs with too little to do. I had a few that were so slowpaced that I would finish and have nothing to do till the next coffee break. The days would just crawl.
Be well and safe... Sounds like the Mrs Daves are doing a little better. Good news.

Good morning one and all,
A bit of early excitement as we have an Ocado delivery between 7:00 and 8:00 this morning, first time we’ve used Ocado, they seem to sell a range of stuff from several supermarkets.
Cold here this morning and Mrs Tenkaykev tells me there was a bit of a kerfuffle with rival groups of youngsters down at Sandbanks beach on Thursday evening with over 30 arrested 😮
Another day of shed maintenance beckons,

Stay safe folks

Good morning. 6⁰ grey and still here. I had to set the alarm for 6.30 :blink: I'm due on one of today's club rides so need to get a shift on. We had 20+ turnout yesterday.

Just had a look at next week's forecast!!!!! :cold::cold::cold: From 03.00 Monday we are forecast for "feels like" between -1⁰ and -8⁰ until midday Wednesday!! I'm mean what? It's April and the forecast at 10.00am Monday is -8⁰ This is Chorley not Calgary!!!:laugh:

:hello:

Update, our Ocado delivery arrived at 07:15. Very impressed with the professionalism, the driver knew that it was our first delivery from Ocado so talked us through the fine points. All delivered in carrier bags which are recyclable and have colour coded handles for Freezer / fridge / store cupboard etc. They take them back at the next delivery and credit you 5p per bag, up to 99 bags. ( he said that they don't bother counting them, they take your word for the quantity, or guess the number )
The driver also mentioned that they take carrier bags from any supermarket so I'll be off to the local Tesco to grab a handful from their in store bag recycling bin and get 5p for each 😉
A slight mistake by Mrs Tenkaykev means that the bag of fresh dates we ordered was actually 50 grammes and not 500 grammes.

Morning. An early mountain bike trundle for me while it's still nice and before the strong wind picks up later. Mix of road and off road so quite pleasant. The wrist is still surprisingly achy with flat bars though.
