I actually had ss jersey and shorts for the first time this year on Thursday.shirley_basso said:Tan lines from today's ride
Today had long sleeves then the sun came out.

Not only was it my second day running on the bike but did both days in t-shirt.
Had to put on after sun. Glorious.
Tomorrow may be pushing my luck0 -

I did it on Chocolate Torte - it's rocket fuel.
Personally, I would try pedalling a bike rather than running on it but that's just me.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

Getting all my photo albums, my parent's and my wife's (since we met) digitised, complied chronologically and face tagged. Took some time. Lockdowns are good for something. 😉The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Did you use self-adhesive photo corners, or the ones you have to lick?0 -

Digitized. I'm no licker. 🤣 No need for albums, corners or protective covers ever again. Lots of back up copies though. 😉briantrumpet said:pblakeney said:Getting all my photo albums, my parent's and my wife's (since we met) digitised, complied chronologically and face tagged.

But do you actually sit down and look at pics on your laptop/compooter? Or have you got one of those chavy digital photo frames that sits in the corner and flicks though hundreds of pictures all day like a footie advertising board?pblakeney said:

I was luck - it was 5am and I tend not to be out pedalling at that time.
Ambulance didn't turn up in time

Not purposely. TV and laptop screensaver though so quite often have trips down memory lane. Quite often the grand children's minds are blown. 😉pinno said:

Spotting a mapping error on a 1:25k OS map: a name, Nogsland, mis-transcribed (I assume) as Noglands when digitalised. Reported to OS.1

Just saw a nun running in Richmond Park, full habit and everything. There were a few more walking, but they were some distance further back. I did wonder if I was seeing things initially.0

Up, breakfast, pedal in the sunshine, shower and still managing to start work at 07:30. Just love the long days of summer. 😎The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

You're not on one of those Zero hours contracts are you Blakey?

Nah, way above that. Simply flexible where the only fixed days are Christmas and New Year. Flexi start/finish times too. Currently debating early finishes or days off this week.pinno said:You're not on one of those Zero hours contracts are you Blakey?

Oh, and a 4 day week as standard. 😎

Now taking #1 for a swim in the local lido. BH so far has been epic.2 -
Hopefully she will pop tomorrow and then you get some time off work? Extended BH and 'waaaaaa, waaaaa...nappies... feed...' Fun innit?shirley_basso said:

Neither of my 2 were 'on time'.

Ideally baby comes weds/thurs.
Diary is already pretty clear for Tues/Weds then I will take the extra days off the other end to make it to the following weekend.0 -
Good luck for when it arrives Shirl', makes sense to get out on the bike as much as you can now before the arrival. Birth of the second was a LOT faster than the first when it started so don't go too far is my only advice on that front.0
