Has there been a site access issue?

Got the warning that the site may have been hacked, and unable to access it

Not for me.

Morning, well it is, but it's very dark outside.
I'd like to get some sleep, but so far it ain't happened, I'll have another go

Morning all obviously still dark here and about 3 degrees but at least dry. Will give an hour or two before I head out for my walk. Will be heading to the local bakery to pick up my bread 🍞 order. Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Morning. The daylight is just coming in and it’s barely above freezing here. This is the last cold one before it turns a fair bit warmer again.

Looks good for a decent walk soon.

Good morning from a slightly chilly Dorset. Today is " Second Friday " where a group of highly trained athletes gather together for an isotonic drink and nutritionally focused meal. Or alternatively, a group of old farts go to the pub, get slightly p*ssed, eat chips, and talk rubbish for a few hours.
Yesterday I was summoned to a friend who is trying to repair his 1960's Juke box. He purchased it in the 80's completer with several hundred records. The volume control is faulty so I abled round to his place having dug out my soldering iron, solder sucker and other odds and sods. No luck, but late last night I was looking at a photo that i'd taken of the circuit board and the penny dropped as to what's wrong. A second visit will be made.
Have a peaceful day ☕️☀️👍

Morning all, I am off to see the staff at the hospital today. Yesterday evening I cleared my wardrobes out, I would guess that at least half the content is going to a local charity.

Morning folks suns out, legs rested so will be out for a spin. My route today includes a hill like a ski jump descent! Hurtle down it keeping a wary eye on a side road, will spin out at the bottom but carry momentum to climb up a mirror image of the descent. The carried speed doesnt last long and its a case of rapidly clicking through the gears as gravity imposes 10....9...8..7..6..5.4.3 and grind to the top or spin in 2nd depending on my legs. Local traffic is usually considerate and pulls over to let me keep the speed, its disappointing if i have to brake!

We have frost, but, there is also bright sunshine. Time to put the fingerless cycling gloves away I think.

We also have a frost here, the sky is really nice and blue.

Well it's that time again . Soon gets here don't it.
Cleaner will be here at 10.
My Bro and SiL are visiting at 13.00 and we are out for a pub meal.......I will go for the pensioners special as I can just about eat it all. They both have good appetites.

Mornings all

Yay! Fish Friday
Shall be walking down to the harbour later on.

Initial investigation of the top end of the BSA Bantam, that was delivered yesterday, found that the piston rings are knacked.
Owner informed and waiting on his decision on course of action - rebore, or not?

Enjoyed my wander. A hillyish 6.7 miles. There was still a frost on the grass to start but it’s lifted and starting to warm up a bit now.

If I ever go to Scotland again I am certainly not going for a walk with Mo, after living in Lincolnshire for more than half of my life my legs are no longer suited to hills.
