Aargh - awake again, dehydrated and exhausted!!!


12" vegetarian, to which I added olives and chillis.
Hope it went well and everyone enjoyed it.

Wet and muggy here. Think the most I’ll manage is a gentle walk.

I’m off for a run/walk shortly. Daughter and her bloke are en route from Edinburgh via a couple of stopovers and due to arrive tomorrow evening. We’re planning to do what used to be our regular Purbeck run on Wednesday, Studland beach, Old Harry and the Agglestone. It’s about 11 miles but quite lumpy and I know I’ll struggle. Never mind, if I start training now then I’ll be fully fit by Wednesday 🤔😂

It's our local 10k today. Mostly off road on what is quite a rough trail.

The rain went off so I took the hybrid for a short one. Just 20 miles today. Gosh it's humid though. Lashing with sweat at the back of 6 in the morning in short sleeves :sweat:

Good morning. Grey and overnight rain but I think sun is on its way. Bed before 10.00 and slept till 7.00. Probably a good thing. I woke thinking my chest felt clear, nope got that wrong. I'm already frustrated I can't ride.

We had a lovely afternoon with my son and his partner. Excellent Manchester Italian restaurant called Fumo. I haven't eaten out in a city for perhaps five years. The prices. :eek:

From what my lad tells me Manchester will be very messy tonight. Pubs have had two systems running for a while now - table reservation or walk-in. A lot have abandoned reservations because people don't turn up.

The lad's local is a walk-in. Apparently for the semi-final people arriving at 3.00pm were turned away. Their plan for today is four friends are going to arrive at 12.00 to get the table. The pub doesn't do food but is happy for customers to order in takeaway via Deliveroo or Uber. :cheers:

In '66 my uncle and granddad came round as they didn't have a telly. Mum probably served tea and biscuits at half-time.

Oh how times have changed........

Morning all :hello:

It's actually a butterfly. ;)
Yes, I think you're right. First time I looked I couldn't see the antennae* but on a second look I did.

*Moths generally have feathered antennae and butterflies usually don't. There you go folks another new thing learnt today.

"Learnt." I've always prided myself on my language use, though it has deteriorated over the years, "learnt" and "learned" I find very confusing these days.
