Who has upset you this time?

Its the same reason that means in a bag of mixed veg the peas always end up at the bottom of the packet.

Easy overcome.
Open at the bottom!

That's yer lot... I'm going to try to sleep. What's the betting that I have just dozed off when fixer arrives?!

Aargh - still awake.

No sign yet of meter comms fixer, with 30 minutes left of their 4 hour appointment window...

I have bimbled. 30 miles and a gorgeous day, although the easterly tail wind I was hoping for never materialised.

Hmm... I got a 30 minute nap in and now feel back in the and of the living - it's as if my brain was out of focus before, and now it isn't!

Well, since I have to carry on waiting for the fixer who probably won't fix, I might as well get back to work on the puzzle game that I will probably never finish, for computer puzzle game fans who probably wouldn't play it anyway!

Ha ha - threatening to do some work did the trick... The engineer just rang to check that I am in - ETA now 30 minutes. Looks like I might get a bike ride in later after all!

Good afternoon. Our cat, Rusty, has had a fight and must have lost as he has a nasty gash on the side of his face, bleeding and wet so I took him to the vet at 9 am. I was told to get him back after 2 pm and the bill will be around £100. He is not insured but we had him about 5 years now so not bad value really.

A late breakfast was taken at 'Spoons today, followed by a meander round to the doctors for my second jab.

Update from my friend: the tissue taken in her second op was clear of pre cancer cells, as were the lymph nodes that were taken at the same time. She will meet the oncologist soon to discuss follow up chemo/radiotherapy, but she feels she has taken a big step forwards. Hopefully, we can meet up in a pub garden this weekend and I can buy her and her partner some beers..

Right, gotta go. Hoovering to be done....

Tale no notice......Classic doesn't mean it

Got our pub lunch in. Fish n chips for me, gammon egg n chips for MrsD.
Not bad @ 2 for £10.99.
Sadly the beer and wine was extra

That looks like a good feed.

I've been and the said post has now been removed and status quo has been resolved.
I just wish some people would agree that we can disagree without makes rude personal comments.
I don't think our paths will cross again as I have added him to my ignore list which is getting longer

This old piece of film just came up on my facebook page, interesting to watch the cyclists dodging trams, horse and carts and horse deposits.
