Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Yes, that's the one.
I haven't watched any of it......just wondering if its worth trying.


I wasn't convinced by Costner and to be honest there wasn't much of a start. It just launched Into it as if you should know the whole story. No getting to know the characters, or the plot.

Right from the get go, I can see this playing along the usual lines of bad people doing bad things to other people, then royally shafting them and anyone else over and over again. The same old same old. I couldn't be arsed. Maybe you will like it though.

I might try it once if I am in the mood but I think you have convinced me.

Whereabouts are you staying?
Shaldon just the other side of the river to teignmouth . The cottage is lovely and there is a pub and cafe on the beach very close buy .
As a couple of old farts who would normally be sailing on a Sunday morning. Guess what we did ? Watched other people dinghy racing as we had a picnic lol . Then we went to Torquay for an afternoon walk and an ice cream . It was so warm it nearly felt like summer 😀😀
Great first day , wine will be calling soon. Had to make the most of today as Monday doesn’t look so good.

I know Shaldon. We stayed there when we walked the Coast Path and have been there a few times since. Nice place. :okay:

Busy day tho' not sure what I actually achieved. Lots of little bits of tidying up.
Nice dry morning with little wind and a hint of sunshine to come so out on my trike about 0830 for a nice easy run to get my legs working again. This would normally be car rally or rather car racing on closed roads weekend but covid put paid to that and so I am not off island as every sensible person who can manage it leaves the island. Doesn't stop the bam pots coming tho' and the road was getting dangerous by the time I turned for home.
Never could get on with them as I found them arrogant and obstructive. Being well known locally as a mild tempered {tho' I could not find anyone to agree with that} individual they always got under my skin. There is an apocryphal story that a blue light ambulance was stopped and told to wait until they had finished the stage as no interruptions were allowed. The paramedics got very heated and threatened to just carry on regardless with the flow of traffic. Mind you the speed I have seen them move they could give a rally car a run for its money.

Good morning fellow retirees,

It's grey outside and a tad chilly. Not a lot planned for today but I think Mrs Tenkay is planning to go for a run. I'll probably accompany her on my Brommie, I've fitted a mirror and want to check that it gives me a decent view, the previous one was a bit rubbish.
Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️👍☕
I have a mirricycle on my right hand bar end which is very good. I have tried lots of mirrors and this is the best I have found. Only problem I have found is loosening of the allen screws due to road vibration so always have suitable key in my bag. It does not interfere with folding.
