The good morning thread

[Scaf]

Very quiet day today as I did jobs yesterday.
Reading in the garden - no radio - papers or TV (as I am avoiding updates on C19).
A brisk walk across the moor shortly (whilst others are having lunch I hope) and then a BBQ later.

Same here, I’m all jobbed out,
Elderly dear next door but one asked if I could cut her lawn, I have done but in the process of getting her mower out she came right up to me...I was backing up all the time until she realised....seems she’s a bit forgetful...
So, sat in the sun, going to be a fake bbq for us as my gas ran out yesterday...
Stay safe.......and sane...

Off out for a cycle in a mo, its been a while.

Got some of those EarPod Pro's for my birthday, going to give them a good test, lets see if I come back with both of them.

Bianchi Road bike or 29'er off roader????

With gas it was always a fake BBQ

With gas it was always a fake BBQ

Yeah I know. But it takes no planning or faf on.

And it seems I must be doing something right as the lady of the manor just prescribed me a beer. Happy days. Says I can have a sit down and rest.
that’s while she plans extra tasks I fear.

Well started the day with a 20 mins session on the new cross trainer, so now completely knackered. Hope to be able to build up to coping with more meaningful sessions over the next few weeks.

Lots to do today work wise so heading for the study to boot up the laptop.

Enjoy your days

Ha ha, yes, morning. WFH today at my desk doing graphix'y stuff, well, more admin, booooooring!

Cheeks hurt after first cycle into the woods yesterday, forgot to put my padded pants on, silly mistake.

Morning, world.

Yesterday was, I think, productive. The starling repellent gel appears to be working but they're crafty buggers so only time will tell. Once was bouncing around on the roof near to the usual nesting spot but was avoiding going on. On the other side of the house, I've fitted some more of the gel packs above the guttering where the rooks like to perch and crarp. Rooks are even smarter than starlings, so I'll be interested to see if this makes a scrap of difference. I also did some more waxing of the Vantage's delicious flanks.

Today, work. Stay well, everyone, and if you're not well then get better.

The starling repellent gel

Dear lord this is actually a thing. Filed next to 'cow magnets'!

Schoolboy error!

Did 43 miles yesterday and my Assos cycling shorts did what they say they do.
No issues whatsoever. Best cycling shorts money can buy IMHO.

And there was me thinking you were cycling too fast in the rain

Morning, all. Yesterday I started my military campaign against the starlings. I also waxed the Vantage’s delicious back end (an intimate process, I’ll admit), cleaned the barbie ready to incinerate some innocent dead animals and (hopefully) sealed the base of the shower adequately well that the water stops seaping out.

Today I take on the rooks, do a bit more waxing and cremate some sausages.

Early summer weekends. Wonderful!

Weirdly round my way the farmers shoot the rooks and then hang them on the field gates....bit like moles. Might be some kind of local witchcraft s--t! But it works.
