Mr Fish says it will be a better day tomorrow, 21c , dry but cloudy.... i had better find something to do out there.

It's has pissed it down all day here, i only got out of my chair to go to the lav.

When my wife was in hospital in Benalmadena they would bring her food tray, but all it had on it was a bottle of water and a glass , I was well fed and watered in the waiting room with free coffee and buns (Magdalena,s)

Not surprising after the day you have had...

Get well soon Pete, at least your in good hands .........If you where here you would still be in the ambulance waiting outside A&E.

Yeh it pushing my daughter too, she never gets a full nights sleep because granddaughter wakes her every night.

Finally!.......the NHS gets its arse in gear....... granddaughter has a appointment for 5th of June.......much better than the original one at the end of August.

Yep, she said if I wanted to go to the bike racing, it was OK with her!.

Yes there are many places to ride around here, it gets quite busy with mountain bike riders in the woods and lanes around here, can ride quite a way without having to ride on a road.

Can't afford to buy a bike. And it has been so long since I rode one I bet this would be the outcome. She offered to let me go to the BSB races at Donington Park. But she knows I can't afford the entrance price!.

Then I would get free board and lodgings for quite a few years......but travel plans would be severely curbed.

There is that. But it's the financial side of retirement that's the killer........more than enough time to do things , and time to visit places, but in the present financial climate funds are seriously lacking to do as we/I want. Just a weekly trip out to Asda was not what I envisaged in retirement...

It's not all its cracked up be....

Reminds me of Pete & Dud.

That, and the smell from the brewery (it closed years ago) are/were the 2 smells that made me want to gip!. And the stink from the sewerage works, when the wind was blowing from the wrong direction..

It Stinks!

Use to go there quite regularly on a Sunday, when weather was good the place was heaving...

Closed till Tuesday, so it looks like a drive there on Tuesday, cos weatherman says rain.

Shut? Strange that.

We do not have a proper bike shop in Mansfield, well we have 1 very small bike shop, but they don't sell gear, the next nearest is in the next town, but I havd never managed to find a pair of gloves there that fit me. CMC seem to have a wide selection, but some of their prices I do not ride far, or often enough to lay out big money......and no Trago Mills here.
