The All New Megathread

[admin]

The weather is looking reasonable today. Time to blow off my biking cobwebs and go for a ride. I've seen an FB post on a bike shop/cafe called Soul Dragon just outside Newport (NR Telford) so might go and investigate that.

Morning all. Cold, clear, frosty and blue skies; my favourite sort of winter morning.

[Sir Trev]

Just back from my second funeral in two weeks. My brother in law this time so it was a whistle-stop visit to the Holiday Inn Express in Shrewsbury last night, as its five minutes from the crem for the 11:30 service, then a wake just outside Oswestry. It was a lovely day weatherwise and lovely to be in Shropshire again, even though it was for a painful reason.

[garynortheast]

Sorry to hear about your brother in law Trevor. I hope the wake was a suitable celebration of his life.

[garynortheast]

Evening all, hope everyone's had a good weekend. Been a bit mad here, driving back and forth between home and Oswestry. Spent half the day today catching up with jobs I haven't got around to doing over the last few days. All pretty much up to date now thankfully.

[garynortheast]

Morning orgers! Wet and grey here. Just about to get wrapped up against the weather and go out with Mabel.

How does everyone else's week look?

[Craig380]

Morning Gary. No plans, and that's the way I like it it. Although I'd prefer it if the weather forecast was more promising.

As I'm a sad sort who makes a note of which days I've ridden on and the distance, checking back over previous years gives a reliable indicator of how kind the weather was: if I had a ride on a particular day, it shows the weather and the roads were dry for several hours on that day.

For example, last year I only managed 4 rides in total during March, showing the month was mostly rainy & wet. In contrast, in 2022 I got out on 20 (twenty) days in March. So far, this year seems to be following the pattern of last year ...

[redtrummy]

Wet around here. If this is the weather pattern going forward I will make the effort to SORN the bike during the winter. Only got round to it this year when I decided to tackle the carbs.

[garynortheast]

Well it was grey all the way around my walk but no rain I'm pleased to say. The roads are actually pretty dry too.

[Sir Trev]

Pretty drizzly on and off all morning and still lots of flooding on some roads, so may be another week or two before Hugh pokes a wheel out of the garage. Getting itchy feet to be riding again I must say...

[garynortheast]

Yes, we have lots of rain forecast here too. I'm hoping it's going to dry up a bit soon so I can get the bike out. I still need to change the tyres, but I have an added incentive now. Jan has just tried on my daughter Eleri's bike kit as she's keen to get on the pillion, and it all fits her. We have a few motorcycling adventures beckoning!

[admin]

I agree with Craig.I taxed my bike last year on march 1st and hardly used it due to the terrible weather. This year looks much the same. Tomorrow looks dry so I might get out tomorrow..... maybe.

Hasn't stopped raining all day here John. Bloody dismal weather.

[Seeker]

I spoke too soon in my other post about how good the weather was; we now have light rain. Still, now that the wind has swung away from the east we are are at least seeing glimpses of the sun (and 60°F, I'll take it).

[admin]

I did finally get out for an hour. Sun came out at 3pm only to disappear once I set off (and replaced by black clouds) about 20 minutes later. Managed to avoid any rain apart from one black cloud hovering over the village of Cressage and so the bike is now filthy. Argh.

[Sir Trev]

No rain for us today, thankfully, as most of the bits of Oxfordshire I go past on my way to work are still underwater, as they've been for weeks now. Thankfully most of the flooded roads are now much easier to pass and with luck they'll be properly clear by my next scheduled commute next week.

[garynortheast]

Morning all.

The weekend edges closer, not that us pension scroungers are particularly affected by that of course.

I have a TSP meeting in Llandrindod next Wednesday and I want to go on the bike, rather than have to drive the car there. I could do with a dry day or two so I can get out and change these tyres on the SV as the rear is now well past it and would be pretty lethal in the rain I think!

[garynortheast]

Morning all. Busy day here today. Walking Mabel with a friend and his dog at 8, then off to do a couple of small IT jobs for people. As long as the weather doesn't turn to crap I'll take the bike, much nicer than using the car.

How is everyone's week looking?

[admin]

The weather today looks promising Gary. I'm not sure about Wednesday but then I haven't checked. A quiet week ahead for me. Taking Mrs Admin to see Occupational Therapist this afternoon, he's helping us with equipment to make her life a bit easier. I've a new screen coming for the bike, so I'll need to test that at some point[emoji6]

[Luckypants]

We have a lot happening in the house. We finally go around to revamping our bedroom, eight years after saying we would! So redecoration was finished over the weekend, new carpet tomorrow, new bed and wardrobes on Friday. Hopefully the council will be collecting the old bed this week too.

Our dog Jemima is having health problems, this time a bad eye ulcer. She's in danger of losing the eye, which with her other health issues might be the end of the line. So eye drops are being applied religiously to try to save the eye. Another vet visit this evening....

Apart from that excitement, its a work week....

[Geodude]

Don't forget to have a little tipple for Reeder today :) miss you box man.

[garynortheast]

Ah yes. I'll be thinking of him today. Still miss him here with his bonkers sense of humour.

[Sir Trev]

[heads for cupboard where the whiskey lives]

[garynortheast]

Morning all. We have the promise of no rain today - hooray! I have a job for someone this morning so I'll get the bike out to go.

Weekend is nearly upon us; what's everyone up to?

[Craig380]

No real plans, Gary - just pottering around. Hopeful of a spin on the bike if the weather dries up at some point.

[Sir Trev]

I have a horrible feeling I may have to go shopping for new biking trousers... My clothes seem to have been shrinking recently (cough) and I've been putting off trying my riding kit on for the first time in five months.

[garynortheast]

Morning all. Well, I got round my jobs and errands on the bike yesterday and the bike stayed clean. Bonus! Sunshine and showers here today so the bike may well stay put.

I have a few things to get done at home anyway. Onion sets need planting, a few household chores need doing, and I’m having a go at making sourdough bread for the first time. It’s a bit of a long winded process what with getting a starter going, then the ferment, then the dough, all over the course of two days. We’ll see if it’s worth the effort when it’s ready to eat.

[Craig380]

Morning Gary. The weather seems to have decided it's mid-February again here: cold, raining and blustery. Good job I had a 50-mile spin on the bike yesterday.

The weather was grand yesterday Craig, although the wind was chilly!

[redtrummy]

Hi Gary - Welcome to the Sourdough club! I started during the lockdown. No better tasting bread (IMHO) Hope it works out for you. Some loaves take me3 days from start to finish. I just bung it in the fridge if its
inconvient to bake at the time, hence the 3 days

[garynortheast]

Morning RT. I'm going to put my starter in the fridge for a couple of days on hold till I see how this first loaf comes out. I'm also still making standard 100% wholemeal bread in my breadmaker.

If the sourdough loaf comes up ok I will experiment with the recipe a bit. I fancy making a spicy fruit sourdough loaf.

[admin]

We've had a bread maker for a few years. I usually put it on a timer so you wake to smell of bread in the morning. I use it to make pizza dough too.

It was a bit cold and very blustery but, as today is the only day for two weeks with no rain in the forecast... Hugh came out of hibernation! Just a ten mile circuit but enough to:

- make me smile
- make my legs ache
- realise my new boots need more breaking in.

Changing gear was tricky as the boots are stiffer and a bit thicker on top of my foot than my very old ones, but I'll get used to them and in time they'll hopefully get used to me.

It's good to be back out there.

[admin]

I got out this afternoon for a few hours. Out exploring the Welsh borders. Bike is muddy again but at least it didn't rain.

[garynortheast]

Morning all. The morning here started with clear, blue skies, but it's clouding over now. The forecast is for rain and it looks like that's what we're going to get. Few jobs to be done over the next couple of days and it looks like the indoor jobs are going to be done today.

[Seeker]

Morning. The opposite here - it started off raining but now I see blue skies approaching - thanks for passing them over :)

[Sir Trev]

If it wasn't for the buds bursting open into leaves on the lilac you'd swear it was December: cold, blowing a right one, and pouring down. Great start to the long weekend...

[garynortheast]

Morning all. Better looking morning this morning. Off out for a walk with Mabel shortly while there is no rain, then back for another day prepping the garden for the coming veg growing season.

What's everyone else up to this weekend?

[admin]

House full of grandkids and my son is up from Brighton too. Activities will depend the weather I guess.

[Sir Trev]

Weather is patchy today so I'll be in the greenhouse clearing the clutter from the staging and getting the module trays ready for the first sowings.

[Craig380]

Pottering today as the weather is showery, but tomorrow is expected to be dry so the chain is lubed & tyre pressures checked ready for a burn to the Ponderosa / Ruthin or thereabouts.

Sunday & Monday will be taken as they come ...

[redtrummy]

Been a great walk to a pub that serves its beers straight out of the barrel, wonderful! Trouble is I was driving!

[garynortheast]

Morning all. Lovely sunny day here. Just waiting for Jan to arrive, then we'll walk the hounds and afterwards head out on the bike. Short ride first to make sure she's comfortable on the back before we embark on anything longer.

Who else is out on two wheels today?

I have just got the GSX out of the garage. My riding friend is busy so it will be a solo ride today. Our skies are not quite so clear as yours on the west side, sun is a bit hazy (but I'll take it nonetheless :) )

[Craig380]

Just back from the Ponderosa via the Nant-y-Garth pass and Ruthin. It actually feels like Spring is springing at last.

A very nice ride, although there was a lot of run-off from fields on the roads so the bike is now pretty mucky and in need of a hose down.

The Horseshoe Pass is a great bike road.



Surely after being to The Ponderosa a 'hoedown' would be more apt than a 'hosedown' ??

Morning all. Grey, wet, and miserable here today. Heading out in the rain to walk Mabel shortly, then have I have a job to do for someone. I think the bike will be staying under cover today!

*Edit* IT job is now postponed until next week. If it stops raining I'll get on with some stuff in the garden instead.

[Luckypants]

Morning Gary

It was a grey and miserable start, so the dogs were reluctant to go out this morning. It has brightened up, but the forecast is a bit rubbish.

The thing keeping me busy is putting eye-drops in my little dog's eye. She has a bad eye ulcer and was/is in danger of losing her eye. It's slowly healing but we need to keep on top of it. 4 different drops at 30 minute intervals every 2 hours is exhausting for her and needs keen scheduling from us. The loss of the eye in itself would not be too much of an issue for a healthy dog but she has a number of health issues. An operation would likely finish her off. It's a sad situation but we have had the end of life discussion and we won't be putting her through anything major.

[garynortheast]

Morning Mike. It's so hard when our dogs reach that certain age and state of health. It's never an easy decision about what's best for them. You have my sympathy over the situation with your canine companion, I've been there several times now and it never gets any easier. I hope her eye heals ok and she has more time with you.

[Luckypants]

Thanks Gary. The eye will be a slow process but seems to be going in the right direction. We are hopeful. More of a worry is the misshapen appearance of her abdomen, suggesting a mass but the vets seem reasonably relaxed about that as its not causing discomfort yet. She's a tough dog to weigh up with regards to pain, she seems to bear it so stoically and without fuss. That's how the eye got so bad, she was not showing signs of distress and the ulcer is below her lid. :(:(

A coincidence this morning was a flashback to happier times, when a video memory popped up on Facebook of her learning to swim with her (now passed) older brother Piper. This was ten years ago, when she was young, fit and full of energy. The video is linked below for anyone that does Facebook. She's the one with the pink collar... :love:

[Sir Trev]

I had a barium swallow test at Stoke Mandeville Hospital this afternoon. It confirmed my GP's diagnosis of acid reflux with nothing else nasty or lurking to be seen. There were lots of posters around the X-ray reception depicting benefactors and pioneer surgeons, but not surprisingly, not a single mention of Jimmy Saville...

[Luckypants]

Glad it's nothing more Trev. Omeprazole for the foreseeable future?

[Sir Trev]

Glad it's nothing more Trev. Omeprazole for the foreseeable future?

Almost. I'm a week into a daily dose of Lansoprazole (same family of drug) and it's already made me feel a LOT better.

[garynortheast]

Morning all. Bit grey here but the forecast is for dry weather thankfully. I have someone's lawn to mow for them so I might give them a call before I go over there, and get them to tell my if the grass is dry enough.

Been stupidly busy here for the last couple of days. A day spent sorting and setting up a new PC for someone on Wednesday, a meeting in Newtown followed by a very muddy social run with a bunch of canicross runners yesterday, lawn cutting for someone this morning, followed by reassembling part of someone else's 1930s Singer sewing machine today, and then working at a repair café tomorrow. Bloody hell, this retirement lark is busy!

I'm going on strike next week. Jan and I are getting on the bike and going up to Betws-y-Coed to look in the Alpkit shop, and have a few hours riding some nice roads. Perhaps I'll post the ride up in the Border Patrol if anyone wants to come along.

[Craig380]

Same weather here. It was dry and 17 celsius yesterday, I had a lovely ride to Whitchurch with a fast zap down the A41, and today it's February again.

[garynortheast]

Just got back from working at the local repair café, and the sun is out. Time for a quick paned out the front in the sunshine and read a bit of my Ride mag, then into the back garden to get some more of my compost onto the beds as mulch.

[garynortheast]

Morning all. Lovely morning here. Blue skies and sunshine, and all the birds are singing their heads off in the garden.

Hoping the weather stays good as I'd like to get a decent walk in with Mabel this afternoon.

[garynortheast]

Morning all. How is everyone today?

Been a full on few days here, so much done in the last week that I've lost track of what we've been up to! We did have a belter of a ride up to Betws-y-coed on Tuesday though, with relatively little traffic to contend with.

Got a couple of days of catching up to do here now. Jan has just headed off back to her place to get on top of some of the stuff she needs to deal with and I'm going to do the same here.

How is everyone else's week looking?

[admin]

I quiet week here but we've just got back from a weekend in London. I've just had a recall letter from Honda regarding the centre stand on my bike so I'll nip in to Shrewsbury Honda at some point to see if my bike is in the affected batch.

[Craig380]

Been a bit full-on here over the past 10 days, moving my mother-in-law to a care home near us. We were worried about how she'd settle in, but she likes it and feels comfortable. She's also just 10 minutes away from us now, rather than 2+ hours away which she was before so my wife can see more of her without worrying too.

Otherwise, keeping an eye on the weather for a spin out!

[redtrummy]

Moving the BiL into supported accommodation on Weds hopefully. I told his family 12 years ago that where he was was not suitable for him. (learning difficulties) but they ignored me, so all subsequent crisis which have been many, the wife and I have had to sort out. Thursday off to the hospital to get her new knee checked out. BUT tomorrow finally booked an MOT for Suzy (at last). Both the Met and BBC seem to suggest a fine day so no getting wet.

[Sir Trev]

We were visiting my parents this weekend, when it was chilly but dry, and of course the forecast for the next two weekends when I'm free is pants...

[Luckypants]

Jealous. My day consists of work but I will be enjoying the fact the car is being charged from solar on this fine day.

[Craig380]

Off out for a walk shortly myself, just locally, then a spin on the bike.

Mitchells Fold is on of the spookiest places I've ever visited, around the stone circle there's a definite 'presence'.

[Sir Trev]

Lovely terrain around the Fold. Some of the ancient stones are a short walk away and well worth the views you get when searching them out. Know what you mean about the vibes - it's a magical place for sure.

[garynortheast]

Morning all. Cracking walk yesterday and the weather really picked up once we started. That northerly wind was still cold though.

Off to do a spot of gardening for someone this morning, hoping for dry weather!

[Craig380]

That Northerly was cold, wasn't it? Luckily, over the weekend I scored a great charity shop find: a lightweight quilted down jacket with no hood, which is light and thin enough to wear as a mid-layer under my biking jacket. Just £6, in perfect condition.

Tested it with a run to the Ponderosa and with my heated vest on I was actually a bit too warm, even with that cold wind and a 70mph windchill.

[redtrummy]

Its cold here today - after the bug I caught recently its too cold outside for me - Oh its raining again!

[DarrenSV650S]

Still feels way too cold for me to be riding. It's nice when the sun is out but still a cold wind. Don't think I've ever been waiting until May to get the bike out

[Sir Trev]

Currently nursing a bit of a headache after a two day work trip to Bridgwater. I'd like to think it was down to the hotel last night having sealed windows and A/C (I'm used to having a window open at all times of the year) but may have been down to the 6X in the hotel bar...

Drove home very gingerly on cruise control and now I've had several cups of tea I'll hppefully feel a bit better soon. Annoyingly I need to log on soon and pretend to work the rest of the day. Boo!

[garynortheast]

Evening all, how is everyone? We had a very pleasant day mooching about Shrewsbury today. Caught the train in from Gobowen to Shrewsbury, very nice coffee and carrot cake at a pleasant place opposite the station, a walk with the dogs in the quarry, light lunch at Okra, a scull round some of the charity shops, tea at Ginger and Co, then the train back.

And I don’t feel in the slightest bit guilty about being unproductive all day. :p

[Craig380]

Pretty good here, thanks, Gary.

M-i-L has settled very well in the care home, all the stresses, worries and anxieties she had about living on her own have visibly lifted from her and this in turn has dramatically reduced stress on my wife.

Also had a good 90-mile thrash through the Staffs moorlands. I recently ran a couple of tanks of V-Power through the bike and it's absolutely flying at the moment.

My moron next-door neighbour has got his scrapyard-dodging chainsaw out again. All he ever does is cut things down. I've told him it's nesting time but he does not care, claiming he needs to clear thd overgrown bushes at the bottom of his garden now while he has time. Words fail me.

[redtrummy]

It would annoy me too Trev. It was too wet to cut my hedge ditch side last autumn. Its got to wait now until early autumn.

.. .

[garynortheast]

Morning all. Mild and a bit cloudy here, but warm enough to have the back door open so I could hear the birds singing while I was getting breakfast ready.

My hedge around the front garden won't need cutting for another couple of years yet. It's a native, mixed species hedge I planted last year at the end of the winter. It's grown really well over the 13 months it's been in, but I want it up to around 6ft in height before I top it.

Long list of jobs to do here today, shopping, some housework, trip to the recycling centre, and some training modules I need to complete before the end of next month for my involvement with the council tenants' panel of which I'm a member. I need to get into the garden to sow carrots, parsnips, and beetroot seed as well.

If the weather stays dry I may use the bike to go and do the groceries shopping and put off the recycling trip till Friday when I'm in town with the car anyway.

How is everyone else's day shaping up?

[Craig380]

Just back from mother-in-law's house after having some estate agents visit to value it.

A couple of the PVC double-glazed units in the house had blown and gone misty. We found the paperwork & warranty (my wife's dad was fastidious about keeping documents) and discovered that the 10-year warranty expires in 8 days time. So we made a quick phone call and the units are getting replaced free!

While we were there we saw our first housemartins of the year, which was nice.

[Sir Trev]

I take it the windows were not put in by Everest then Craig. Cannot believe they've gone bust again, but then if they hacked off all their customers in the way they did me last year then it serves them right. But of course the very generous guarantee we got is now probably worthless...

Oh, and the moron next door has bought himself a new toy - this time it's a strimmer. Yep, another blinking loud petrol job of course. Thankfully it will break soon like the rest of the suff he buys as he does not maintain them.
