I know exactly how long I have left.
Last week I went to a fortune teller in Blackpool and she told me.
Not sure why she wanted my bank details though

A few weeks ago I mentioned some little blue flowers I thought were desert orchids which are seen only for a few weeks and only on a short section of bike trail. Today I saw them and took an unfortunately fuzzy pic to show I wasn't BSing you about them. Nearby was a nice blooming yucca. Yucca were prized by Native American folks who ate the seeds, made cordage from the leaves whose sharp tips provide a built in needle, and made soap from the roots.
Today will be hottest day of the year to date, 39 C so my ride was done early. To do that I skipped breakfast until I got back. Food is good.
Be well and safe.

I sent the blue flower pic to my family, and my DIL found out it ain't no orchid, but rather a Western Spider Wort. I knew if I made an idiotic claim she would set me straight. Ugly name for a purty flar.

Nowt idiotic about it. If you didn't know what it was, you make a best guess as to what it is.

I do hope not.
I didn't see the build up but did read (what I think) was her last post (not on a trumpet, Classic).
Calling @Mo1959 .....what do you know (unless of course you are sworn to secrecy)

(Just in case those hard of hearing didn't catch it 1st time).
Another evening when I was knackered and was in bed, asleep, by 2000.
Woke up a couple of times and enjoyed a good pee.
Eventually woke at 0500 and now sat enjoying a coffee.

Please don't think I am sticking my nose in and I realise you are a knowledgeable guy AND with an accountant daughter.
I was intrigued by you plans, which, btw, I think are great.
Below is the "ruling" I was thinking of.
It appears that sale of a 2nd house is liable to CGT.
Feel free to ignore and bin this post.

No funny early morning quips today. Still reeling at the sad news of Dave Davenport's passing

Always sad when someone dies, but, I had no idea who he was, Google was no help, only returning results for people who died years ago.
I would have asked my wife, who knows even more than Google, but, she is sleeping......
Edit: Reading further on CC, I understand now, sadly, Dave was "one of us" and, therefore always "at risk, from the dreaded four wheeled menace".

Good morning from a Travelodge room overlooking a sunny car park somewhere in Brum.
There’s a Toby Carvery that’s part of the same building, but a separate business, I looked at the “ as much as you can eat” breakfast menu and see that “ Breakfast Yorkies “ are on the menu, accompanied by a veggie gravy. More worrying is that I can hear that there’s a lady in an adjacent room who has a continuous hacking cough…
Take care folks, stay safe

Good Morning. I'm struck by this thought. Today can be summed up as:
😴
I'm OK but really this is where we've got to? I could remain sat in this chair for the day and it wouldn't matter. Thank the Lord for bikes.
Before Covid-19 I was (probably still am) very particular about keeping my car clean. I may tackle this later today as it's well below standard at present.
@welsh dragon don't desert us.
