Tidied up the small garden, mowed the very small lawn, took all of 2 minutes, washed the car, the bike and spread soap and road dirt over the pig ignorant twat’s car who parked blocking me in for 2 hours. When he returned he commented to his fat ugly wife how rude I was to have got his car so dirty. I commented what an ignorant twat he was. He didn’t like that!!

Not much done but a week ago I had a lump removed from my neck so I’ve got 5 stitches so I’ve been being careful all week not to pull it or break the stitches.

Mick. Now soaking in the bath!!

Today for the first time I knowingly had tofu instead of meat,
At best I can describe it as bland mush that no sauce can improve, if I'm served it again I'll pick it out and eat whatever is left.

I was in Canterbury Cathedral today as part of my studies, ended the day and was coming out when a tourist asked me to "pray a blessing" on the gifts she had bought her family from the cathedral shop. As it was a cultural thing I knew about growing up and was happy to comply and so gave a benediction and blessing.

Lots of Asian food has tofu and meat in the same dish.

If it was bland it was badly prepared. You might as well say flour is bland - which it is - but who doesn't like a nice crusty baguette?

Today, I have been mostly getting banned (again) from another forum. :lol: :lol:

You're wrong, it's tastes of not much and has the texture of silicone sealant.

Went fora ride on the Guzzi, familiar roads but they felt so much better, had a great run of luck with traffic, really got into a rhythm with the bike, so much so it got treated to a good wash when I got back.

Took the lads z3 out for a run to see if anything needed doing, really enjoyed it unexpectedly, got back, had a look in the boot to see what rubbish might need cleaning out and found a small pond, half way up the battery, emptied and dried it out best I could, hopefully it's just a leaky brake light.

Walking to the kitchen gets me heavy breathing, if I have a coughing fit half way I get an oxygen debt and have to sit on the floor.

Not a happy bunny. It's been 7 days and the NHS reckons I'll be fine by Tuesday.
S'wot I had. For me, it just started to happen less over time, but even now I still don't feel the same as pre covid me. Just slightly weaker and tire quicker?

Had a hissy fit because my chromebook is playing up and has been a lot over the last few weeks. Won't charge, then it will. Mouse sticks then it doesn't. Incredibly frustrating and the wife's is doing the same and she's whinging at me about it, so it's double trouble. So I bought a couple of new ones from eBuyer. Bastard chromebook is working fine now! :roll:

Yes y'all think I'm sad, and yes it's a waste of 3 quid, but I don't care, it makes me smile;

Turkish F1 Gran Prix.

Good day although I'm a Mclaren fan :) . Weather miserable although it stayed dry but getting out of the circuit a complete nightmare.

Incredible views from your place, looks fantastic.
Mick
I was lucky to find this place. It is stupidly small, but I was able to buy it back then for a stupidly small price!! The view was a big part of why I bought it (although there wasn't anything else so cheap available!! LOL)

I've just watched the pink reflection of the sunset on the clouds that were covering Mont Blanc. it is 100% an amazing place to live :D :D
Life is for living. Buy the shoes. Eat the cake. Ride the bikes. Just, ride the bikes!! :bblonde:
