Morning all. Up and about early this morning as Mabel and I are heading out at 8am to join a friend and his dog for a walk. Looks like it's going to be a damp walk!

How's everyone else the grey morning?

Oddly enough I was hoping it would rain today, to wash some of the rubbish off the roads before I hopefully get out for a few hours on Bullseye this weekend. The forecast midweek said this was going to be the case but when I checked again this morning it said nice for the next three days. At least if will be nice and dry when (if) I get out.

some off the roads round here have been freshly salted!

And others still have plenty of mud strewn all over them from loads of agricultural traffic. Or winter-freeze potholes not yet patched.

I'll probably not be riding for at least a couple of weeks yet. I guess I'm officially an old man wimp!

Morning all. A bright morning here. Off for a walk with Mabel before I head down to work at the Repair Cafe here at 12.00.

What are you all up to?

Ruffy · 08-03-25, 11:29 AM

Morning All (just). For me it's a bit of odd-jobbing around the house, but mainly I'll be watching 6 Nations rugby.

Ireland-France then Scotland-Wales today. Should both be competitive games, hopefully. Tough to call who'll be the winners, but I probably favour the team in blue in each game.

Lots of gardening for me. I did the first lawn cut the other day but there's still lots of autumn and winter debris lying around.

Sir Trev · 08-03-25, 06:28 PM

I too got the mower out for the first (very light) cut of the year today.

Also re-errected a fence I took down before next door's builders ripped it down. Been meaning to do that for over a year... It makes that side of the house look so much neater! Need to get some more Ducksback to give it a bit of colour now to really finish it off. And a new latch for the gate it marries up to, which sounds like a great excuse to go to a DIY shop somewhere several miles away tomorrow on Bullseye. Yay.

Morning all. A bright and sunny day here, so I may abscond for a bit of a ride this afternoon at some point if anyone would care to join me or meet up for a coffee?

Can't today, Gary - off out for a Sunday lunch before the football.
