If only I could afford it! Might have to settle for an acoustic/manual Circe Morpheus as they are only £2.8K but I can't afford that either.

The seat looks comfier on the second one, the first one looks like you might need an SPD cleat surgically attached to your rectum!

Had a green woodpecker land on the grass not six feet in front of me 😎  No chance of getting a snap as it scarpered as soon as it realised I was there.  Fantastic to see, however momentary it was.

Got 4 pallets worth of wood today for free. Find them super useful for making stuff with for the garden (once separated into planks) and the offcuts are great for burning.

It's only taken me 22 years, but I've finally managed to fit a weatherproof outdoor leccy socket:

 

 

No more dragging extension leads through the garage, over bikes, mowers and other tat so I can use my pressure washer 

 

And no more going apoplectic with myself when I've unknowingly parked my mobility scooter on said extension leads 🙄

Seeing my young lad at Tomorrowland in Belgium on his 36th Birthday. 

I brought him up on my own from when he was 1 until he left school but with my parents help.

I lost my house keys yesterday after they fell off my carabiner due to me being distracted and clumsy. 😒

Someone handed them in to lost property at the supermarket and I picked them up this morning. 😊

Have modified my key carabiner set-up to reduce risk of it happening again. 👍

I did the same yesterday, dropped my house key in the supermarket car park, fortunately a neighbour has a key to our house, so I could at least get in the house.  Went back to the supermarket half an hour later, and yes, it’d been handed in.  There are some good folks around.  🙂

It's quite heart-warming.

Unfortunately for me, when I got home, my neighbour who has my backup keys was out, so I had a bit of time to sit and think about what I'd done. 😄

My solution to the problem is a locking carabiner for my keys, and a second carabiner off that one for my belt loop, for those very rare occasions I can't get my keys in a pocket or my messenger bag.

I just assumed it was about motor racing and not someone that had a barbers shop.

Yes, George Russell. But as we are both from North Cambs/Norfolk Fens  it's probably not that unusual,😉. (His Great Great Grandmother was my Grandfather's sister).

I characterised this as "The Disaster"; after all Ingurlundshire will be neeping on about it for the next 60 years...
