Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

Stay safe peeps:hello:

Hello! Weather? Hard to say. Overnight rain and now sort of grey and neither one thing nor the other. Forecast is :sun: and a very pleasant 19/20⁰

Today? It's granddaughter minding day which means in an hour I must shower, dress and get out the door to collect her. 'Tis also housework day which means an exhausting three hour blitz when Mrs P takes granddaughter swimming.

Granddaughter is learning to eat solids. We all remember how that one works out!!!!! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Tuesdays are becoming a bit like going to w***


Projectile vomit Uck :wacko:i:wacko::wacko:

Morning. I had thought about an early bimble and even had the cycling gear on but on having another look over towards the hills, the mist and low cloud were coming down quickly so changed my mind and walked instead. Not sure if I will muster the enthusiasm for a spin later or not.

Little old bridge at the side of the road I was walking.

Salut tout le monde. Skirting boards and door frames had a second coat and wall ready for wallpapering but not today. Cloudy but warm today. Might go for a short ride after the TdF depending on how I feel by then. :whistle:
Mrs G said yesterday that we are going to pothole county a week today to help our daughter with the move. Decorators are in at the moment so it will be all fresh and new then. No point in taking my bike as I won't have time to use it. Don't know how long we are going for this time, probably a week or 10 days. Retirement can be quite demanding. :blush:

Off to the dentist for a tooth clean. Then maybe a mow or a bike ride or both. We will have perfect weather, with cool nights and 26C days for the next 7 days. Tonight will be cashew chicken with Chard, snow peas and Bok Choi from the garden as a stir fry side dish. Yum yum.

This Devon cottage is doing my head in... literally! I have walloped my head on low door frames about 20 times now. I feel like wandering about wearing my cycling helmet, but apart from looking daft, it also makes me even taller and therefore more likely to collide.

When I remember to, I walk around in a stoop, but that is aggravating my bad back.

Just awaiting in for the big family reunion now. I was hoping to sneak a quick ride in beforehand but it wasn't possible. I'm hoping that they may want to watch the football later and that the big meal is planned for after the game finishes. If so, my pal Carrie and I will nip out and do 25-30 km of Devon lanes.

Before the guests arrive and need to be escorted to the rear garden, I am trying to sort out a gunged up (by software) laptop. It has over 60% CPU usage all of the time, and sometimes 90-100% even when just sat there supposedly doing nothing. It had multiple competing antivirus products so I have now sent McAfee to join its maker... I am currently busy doing a big Win10 upgrade, having noticed that the last attempt was in 2020 and that had failed! Ah - the big download is complete at last. I had better get back to it.

Catch you later! :hello:
