What you say Bruce?

Had my coffee sat on the garden swing.....sunny but a cool breeze blowing!

@Grasshopper's Ride suggested a nautical adventure coming up in the future, let the lessons begin!

I've been out in 15c temperatures that have felt bitterly cold and 5c that has felt mild it all depends on that wind. looking forward to the single digit stuff i like those temperatures when trail riding

I got some karma thrown at me today after trying to wind you up about us having better weather here i decided to go out on the bike for a few solitary hours this afternoon and at my furthest point from home the heavens opened and i got drenched because i was dressed for the "good weather " and while out i stopped to talk (keeping a good distance) to someone i came up behind tip toeing along the trail on a triumph tiger 800 and his name turned out to be Fred Jones which we both had a chuckle about

. ummmm, wow!!.......great advice so far

I mentioned earlier in this thread about the yard foreman, a young bloke called Tony. As stated, he was all good looks and muscles and he liked the ladies. Our yard was squeezed between the river and a load of flats and maisonettes in Barking called The Gascoigne Estate. Named after the Gascoignes who had been the big cheeses and land owners for hundreds of years. A few old fogies on here will know one of the family as he used to host University Challenge. I was mooching about the yard one day and happened to look out of the gate. I was used to seeing odd people wandering about, plus we were in a road with various types of yard all down the same side as the river which meant we had some strange people working in them. On this day I looked and saw a man wearing a white Judo suit. He was on the little green shown on the right below with the big tree. He was doing all the harry karry stuff, kicks, chops, all directed at the tree shown. Basically he was being a bit of a knob. I could also see Tony, flying about in a fork lift. I called out to him and he roared up and came to a skidding halt. 'Wassup Yen?' he was the one who christened me with that name, it developed out of shouting Ian in a noisy yard. 'There's a bloke outside, says you have been messing with his woman, he is waiting for you!' Tony looked out the gates and there is this twat punching imaginary baddies and kicking invisible things above his head, he's really going for it now. To give Tony his due, he jumped out of the fork lift and was on his way out to the bloke before I managed to stop him. Tony got me back later that day, he had me sitting on the top rails of a covered articulated lorry to help pull the sheet over. He told me to sit still on the rail whilst they moved the lorry up a few yards so they could line up the next load from the road side. What I didn't know and he did was that there was a large tree branch behind me. As the lorry backed up I was pushed off the rail and down into the skips of swarf. I lay just inside the skip covered in small pieces of metal and cutting oil. A blonde head appeared over the edge and a finger was wagged in my direction as he told me not to ever try and get one over on him again.

4C here this morning - had to put on my old man slippers.

Looks like one of the boats on Skeggy boating lake!.

I don't know why but this image keeps coming into my head ...........

I am 98% sure of what the issue is..... But, with that said, I think I will wait to see what happens tomorrow before I do my happy dance and say for sure... Gremlins can appear overnight around here.....lol

Thats because 13⁰c isn't cold its a comfortable temperature. When its well in to single digits then its abit fresh

There was a similar pair down our way when i was in my early teens, me and a mate used to be stalking in the woods shooting at anything that did or didn't move and would often bump into this guy practicing martial arts of some form on a tree, Dai Kung we called him he had twin brother that done the same, when they were together they were called the kungs

Tell that to this guy.

The weathers gone wonky here, either rain heat or clouds...FFS!

30c at 9am and now 34c at 10am! Today I am mainly being Nowhere Man!

It is a dreaded............ electrical issue ....Bagheera is a boy . .....just for the record

Looks like it might be a tent/garage day......surprise, surprise, Bagheera, my Himalayan, is not working....... So let's see..... a broken Himalayan, a tent, some sunshine, shiny tools.....what's missing????? BEER!!! Good thing I have a second bike to do a beer run on.....

I think i'd enjoy trawling the shallows of a beach in this a couple of quid more than i got though

Dropped to 13.6c here but doesn't feel cold at all

At least you were able to get out though Fred.....I've been stuck inside all day! 10PM now and it's still 33C.

This is funny ..

Fucking weekend and stuck in again! It's either rain or heatwaves! Course the temps are down to late 20's in the week when I'm working!

That's me all over!

https://www.wayfair.co.uk/garden/pdp/freeport-park-allon-swing-seat-u001500779.html It's very similar to this one.....had it years, new top every year.....it's in need of a repaint now.

And.........................it is raining!.

Sounds like we need a Posh of the Month award.

Hammer nail,you have no idea how close you are.

Might explain your physique.

Apparently based on the latest news I got to play with the roswell crap when i worked at Wright Patt, top that conspiracy theory.

Any diagnosis yet Dr Spanner?

Fuck hard life init.

Yes i agree the pancakes need to be on a separate plate and treated as a different meal like dessert

Fuck that’s scary.

Spaghetti al Pesto, with a few mint leaves thrown in there, and walnuts instead of pine nuts, you use what you have Fresh cherry tomato sauce, wish I had nice pecorino for this, only had generic supermarket parmigiano A nice skillet sauted steak, with parsley tomato salad and mum’s white rice Roadside pork sandwich, just the best meal in the middle of a full day’s motorcycling in Portugal Cheese and ham toast, in the best bread available in Portugal, the typical Alentejo loaf Take away, proper perfectly cooked Portuguese style grilled chicken, with optional garlic sauce, amazing homemade fries, and fresh salad, along with some nice chilled Alentejo wine, best take away meal ever! Today’s dinner, coal grilled beef chop, along with grilled cheesy onions, and tomato and herbs, it was nice!

Yeah but they get extremely well paid to do it so they don’t give a fuck.
