I drove to the local park this afternoon. I must've left my walking stick behind as it wasn't in the car when i parked up back home. I drove back to where i'd been in the park to see if the stick was there. It wasn't,so it looks like someone's picked it up and taken it with them. Why not just leave it where it was so the owner (me) could find it?! 😒Another annoying thing is that i can't buy a replacement as the charity shops where i buy them are all now closed.😒

I lost a map last September while out cycling in Herefordshire. I had bought it for my daughter's airbnb cabin. I had it specially made. It was an aqua 3 waterproof map with my daughters house in the middle. It also had her address printed on it. While I was there last week it arrived back in the post with a note apologising about the fact they had found it 6 weeks ago and had only just got round to posting it. He stated where he founded it his name and mobile number. I did text him to thank him but got no reply. I am not sure if i should ring him?
Anyway I ordered another map from the company which didn't arrive, so contacted them and they sent another. Both turned up about the same time. My daughter now has 3 1:25,000 maps with her house in the middle. I also got 1:50,000 map for cyclists.
Let me know if you want to rent a cabin in deepest darkest Herefordshire!! Maps of the area provided....no nicking them!!

Lost my walking pole when out cycling, its fixed to the rack with a bungy. I use it (when I remember it's there) to walk the dog when I got of the bike. Found it the other day on the edge of a wood. It's not cycleable (i have invented a new word!) there, so obviously I put it down and forgot to pick it up. Checked areas i normally cycle... nothing Did my head in for a week. The other day when I found it, I felt good for a few hours. Better than nowt.

People who use k instead of km.

k means times 1,000. - so 50k = 50,000

km means kilometres, so 50km = 50km

Please don’t mix the two k does not, nor never has been shorthand for kilometres

Make sure you vent your views on Facebook; otherwise people on there will think she's a nice helpful person. Bloody glory-hunters ...

I knocked on the door of the house where my walking stick was left. No reply,so i went back later and knocked again. No reply again,so i left a note asking them to phone me to arrange a time to pick it up,or to arrange somewhere to leave it so i can pick it up. They haven't phoned me. I still have thoughts that maybe if the finder had left it where it was left then found i'd have it back now,instead of wondering if it's actually there. This could warrant a whole thread on the topic!🧐
