I’ve lost a couple of pounds. A long way to go though, but it’s a start.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
It's gone dark here and I can hear the rain. I think this will be the weather we can expect for the foreseeable future.

They are here, I put that on yesterday. I had a bad day and took to comfort eating and a few pints, back on the diet again this moring.
Think I said previously, with all that happened here I lost all desire to eat and whenever I did, it just came back again.
I Iost over 3 stone.
When I managed to start eating again I ate any junk that would stay down.
Things are more like 'normal' now, thank goodness.

The most annoying thing about middle England is the lack of real weather. It's either wet or dry, with not much else going on. Having spent my young years on Shetland I like a bit of wind, heavy squall, regular - if usually fairly light - snow throughout the winter. Down here it feels like Mother nature can't be bothered.
Here we live in a sort of pocket with the Penine hills to the east and the Mersey to the west. We often go all winter with no snow or maybe a slight covering.
But we get our fair share of rain.

Morning all
Well, today I find out if I've still got 'it' after not having ridden a trials bike for over 40 years.
Will load the Montesa onto my trailer, after breakfast, and drive up to Gupworthy (10 miles away) for the event.

Not sure how to respond to that.
Of course I wish you success but my heart is a bit in my mouth.
Above all, stay safe.

Where we are, we very seldom have snow due to be close to the sea but lots of rain. Yet, just 10 miles away, they get all the snow. Our winters are mostly wet and windy.

Morning folksMy neighbour just got himself a brand new car and as i needed to collect a superser heater for sale, i asked him if he could drive me over...Anyhoo stopped in Co-op car park to pick up cash for said heater, got back into car and strangers voice said "i think youre in the wrong car"
hee hee i had got in and sat down in a complete strangers car!
I really have no eye for car recognition - theyre red ones blue ones white ones etc....
That sounds exactly like Mrs @BoldonLad. If someone (ie children, friends etc) got a new car, she would tell, me, I would ask, "what make, model", to be answered by "it's a nice shade of green" (or whatever colour)

I can confirm that here in Mid Wales it's mostly wet and windy winters that we have. We are in the Cambrian foothills and are sheltered from thr worst of the weather, but it can bite us in the derriere sometimes.

My jeans are looser now. I've cut down on the coffee, and biscuits and generally don't eat as much and it's starting to show where my clothes are concerned.
