100km - I am very impressed!

That's a short one! 300km is not unknown. Not me I hasten to add. Back to my woodwork, 4 done 3 to go. Picked youngest son and friend up from school yesterday. Friend asks conversationally if I was doing anything nice at the weekend, when I said I had woodwork to do he couldn't think of a reply.

How long does that take your OH Wendy?

[Florence Fennel]

I think I'd be stumped with a reply like that Wendy! Prevening All. It's been quite mild here today so I did venture into the garden, but just had a look around at everything that needs to be done and came back in! I told Himself that Wednesday had scored - I heard the crowd, so he knew before it appeared on the teletext

Currently sitting in the Sports Plaza with a pint of beer following games of table tennis and short tennis - needless to say I got thrashed at both by a 13 yr old and a 5 yr old - wonder if I can get them to compete at drinking beer

[Sheneval]

AP - I missed out the worst bit - the 8 yr old refused to play me - said I wasn't good enough

[Sheneval]

VC - it gets worse - I used to be quite good at table tennis and badminton and only one or two at work were as good despite the 20 years or so age difference - where did it all go wrong

[Tripmeup]

Evening all... Productive day today.. Final viewing of some cars and final choice made, and deal struck
Daughter's soccer team won 3-1... Made a good start on building a sand propagator..

Fire lit now and watching a movie with the kids.. Glass of red anyone?

I'm saying nothing, Shen. Stick to drinking beer - you'll win at that.

[Lumpy]

I finally managed to get the compost out from under my fingernails - whoop whoop. I don't look like I have some terrible lurgy now.
OH is playing Crash Bandi - wotsit on his beloved old ps2, the dogs are comatose, the fire is blazing and I have a brandy. Not a bad Saturday.
Back to Lu Lu lottie tomorrow to deal with the weeds that have had the audacity to grow under the plastic.

whassat yo say - hic!

Truth to tell my capacity for beer is not what it was either - only my chess remains unaffected by the ravages of time

[Hazel at the Hill]

A nicer day weatherwise - that biting north wind seems to have eased, so the run round the park today was lovely.

Excitement at my mother's - new hearing aids are fantastic, revolutionary, well worth the money, wouldn't be without them etc etc - and now she has found out just how easy it is to lose one.

It would appear that when my brother called round earlier, she gave him a hug when he left on the front drive and managed to catch one on his coat dislodge and drop it. I found after a forensic search of the house, and then the drive - I note that it was me that went round in order to do the forensic search when she phoned up in a flap, and not my flipping brother!

Hey ho - all's well that ends well!

Don't worry, Gramps, you have to move aside for the young 'uns at some point.

Glass of red anyone?

Don't mind if I do, Trip, ta.

[Sheneval]

Don't worry, Gramps, you have to move aside for the young 'uns at some point.

No need to remind me but my intention was to put it aside until I was about 90+

[WendyC]

How long does that take your OH Wendy?

About 5 hours I think. Depends how hilly.

Have you lost him to Strava Wendy ??

[Tripmeup]

Have you lost him to Strava Wendy ??

Think Strava supposedly helps prevent you from getting lost Scarlet ?!!
