Pretty soon with the rain we've received and the trees leafing out we will achieve max greenness which usually lasts a couple of weeks. Then it begins to turn brown.
Good for you, Dave7 and salad dodger.
OW, streetwalkers here are whores. Plying their trade in the middle of the street is a little bold.
We are hoping to hear today from the cancer doc about the results from Monday's cat scan. Waiting is the pits. It is very busy at the oncology clinic and I hope he can squeeze in a face visit instead of a phone call.
Off for a ride soon so as to be available if the doc can see Mrs 12 today. If not, there is lots to do outside and in.
Be safe and well....
Yes I am aware of that meaning for streetwalkers but I used the term to illustrate the tourists who make a nuisance of themselves by walking in the middle of a busy street as tho' it was a pedestrian precinct. Sadly there are many of them who think the whole place is put there for their convenience and is not a real working community. Rather like Disneyworld they think.

Salut les amis et amies. Been rather busy so far. Took Molly out twice, had a video call with one brother, been to Bangor to buy a new duvet ( Mrs G's orders) and a new rain coat for Molly ( my decision), washed the floor in kitchen , cleaned bathroom and en suite, had a cup of coffee and now thinking of what to do next. :hello:
That is one hell of a clever dog if you had a video call with its brother. Must be French as I can't think of any Brit dogs that could do it :rolleyes:

That reminds me of a holiday in Spain...

I was on a cycling holiday on the Costa Blanca. Our group generally used to avoid the crowds of Benidorm, but one day we decided to head out through the town for a change. It was 10:30 and fairly quiet as we passed through and headed up towards the main coastal road. I spotted a group of prostitutes hanging about at the side of the road, trying to flag down passing motorists. I was riding next to an elderly cyclist, probably in his late 60s/early 70s. He turned to me and said "Where do you think those hitchhikers are trying to get to?" I laughed and suggested "A quick ride to Sin City, perhaps?" He looked baffled and asked if that was somewhere near Alicante! :laugh: (He genuinely didn't realise that they were prostitutes, and thought that I was having him on when I explained the situation...)

I'm having my Covid jab 'upgrade' in the middle of next week. Hopefully, it will be as painless and uneventful as the first one because I have organised a forum WALK for the following Saturday and want to be feeling ok for that. If any of you fancy joining us and are within a sensible travelling distance of Todmorden, go to the thread and add your name to the list. I'm still finalising the details, and will update the original post when finished.

That reminds me of an Italian holiday, we went to see The Leaning Tower of Pisa by coach, on the way back to the hotel the coach driver turned off the motorway and took the old A road, there were laybys set about a mile apart all the way down, and every layby had a working girl in it, they were working out of motor homes and had a chair setup where they could sit flashing all they'd got whilst waiting for the next client.

Good morning, world!

Today looks mostly bright and a bit breezy. The back lawn is in dire need of a cut, so I had better attend to it.

In other news, Mrs Salad and I celebrate 42 years married today. I might have to take her to Spoons for breakfast!

Congratulations to you both 😀
I do have to say though if I ever offered to take Mrs exlaser to a spoons for our wedding anniversary or for any other reason for that matter , I would not live long enough to celebrate another wedding anniversary 😂😂😂

I drove down that road once.
After 8 miles I was totally knackered, could hardly walk and was £30.00 worse off.

Mrs D has her 2nd jab booked for 14.50 on Friday; I've got mine at 11.50.
So does that mean 2 trips into town, or do I take her with me and wait around for 3 hours?
Last time we went, they were pretty quiet and ushered us in and out in about 5 minutes.
I'll ask if they can fit her in after me, to save hanging about.
Sounds sensible?

Yes..... just turn up at 11.50 and explain. I can't believe there will be any problem.
We have done it twice now.
