That's the problem at this time of year. Despite the fact that the run-off is only about 30 feet across, the bike still gets filthy

Morning all. Back to the grey weather here. Bring back the cold, clear, sunny weather please.

Morning all. Looks like a proper winter morning out there, a frost and blue sky. Much better.

So what's the plan for the weekend then?

Daughter visiting with grandsons. It's going to be hectic.

Good luck with that John. Nothing like small children for keeping you on your toes!

I've just had to book my car in to get the front brake pads changed, so a careful drive to Oswestry later this morning.

Beautifully bright and frosty here. A walk over Kerridge ridge beckons, but will wait for it to warm up a little first.

Arsenal vs the Toon tonight, and no fixed plans for Sunday.

Took the wife in this morning for a knee exchange! Not too bad going but coming back it was quite foggy. Hoping all goes well so we can do more serious walking that has been impossible to do for the last five years. Just to have no misunderstanding its a goal we both hope for. A easy day now for me - not use to getting up at 5am, but two games of international rugby and a couple of beers will keep me occupied this afternoon

Cold and foggy getting to the Ford dealers for 8 am today, but a caff breckie was a nice consolation. Went for a wander to kill more time and can report that the Thames at Marlow looks very angry indeed. It's over the banks in several places. Now have my MoT done after the parts to replace my faulty rear light finally arrived from Germany.

Even gave the car a wash this afternoon. Mainly because the the handprints all over the dirt surrounding the formally duff rear light looked scruffy...

The way England passed the ball today, I think they'd all had a couple of beers too! (Too high, too low, too hard etc., leading to umpteen unforced handling errors that probably lost them the game. Even at the lowly level I played at, my coaches would have been raging at us )


But the Scots played very solidly and took their opportunities brilliantly, so good on 'em, deserved victors And in the other game, the Irish, whilst not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, looked so strong and unflappable that it's hard to imagine they won't get the Grand Slam this year. Overall an enjoyable watch IMHO.

Unfortunately, as time goes on, I get too involved , had to give up on Scots vs England for the last quarter and watch it after I knew the result on catch up. (Gave up riding motorbikes in the evening as I could not sleep after) Pleased to see that the kicking game was somewhat reduced, perhaps it is finally becoming apparent that it isn't that entertaining to watch.
