I've still got my Galaxy S8 that must be 6 or more years old now. I don't use it as much as I used to, but it still works OK. The battery life was never great, even when it was new, but it still seems to be doing ok. In fact I'm using it now, to stream Bob's Prog Rock radio to my sound system!

I've got a Xiaomi something or other phone, which I've had for 3 years now. It still works OK ish, but there's one or two niggles starting to creep in, so I may have to look at replacing it in the not-too-distant future. Mandy has an Honor phone that she's had for slightly longer, but it has developed an annoying fault with the touch screen, where the top right of the screen keeps on triggering, so apps shut when she's trying to use them, or some apps open on their own if they're in that region of the screen. Anyway, she's gone for a Galaxy A54.

Sorry to hear that @Buckster. I lost my best mate to cancer 15 years ago and I still remember when I heard the news. His wife phoned me whilst I was away working. He still kept his sense of humour, even on his death bed. Apparently he said to his wife "tell Bob that I love him, but not in THAT way!" I still miss him. Cherish the good memories mate.

Thanks Pete. Yes, I'm still mulling over what to do. Something with a better range than the Triumph, but not a hoofing great adventure barge!

Unfortunately you can only get to them by a hike, Bob. I've not done it yet, but it's now on the list.

Mandy is having a right struggle at work at the moment. A guy that she was working with got promoted way beyond his abilities and he's now trying to micromanage Mandy, even though she pretty much carried him before his promotion. I'm half expecting her to come home one day soon and announce that she's told them all to fuck off! Unfortunately she's got a couple more years before she can start to draw her NHS pension and my pensions are not enough to keep us both. Interesting times!

Went for another wee bimble again this morning. Headed over to le Chateau de Lastours, which is not far from Carcassonne. It was a bit murky when I set off, but the sun soon burned off the cloud and the temperature hit the mid 20s. There were a reasonable few nutters on the road, but I just let them get on with it in the hopes that I wouldn't get tied up in any accidents they caused. I guess that it was a little under 200km round trip.

The trick is to use the ebike in Eco mode........that'll get you fit!

No!
