Brilliant weather here. Today was 24°. Sea was warm and not a cloud in the sky and to top it all, another beautiful sunset.

You've guessed it, unlike Dr Big750, I'm not at home.  :D

Free WiFi though so plenty of surfing. The only surfing I will be doing though.

Post by: BikerGran on November 09, 2015, 11:26:02 AM
You've been unwell, you haven't ridden for some time, you're not used to this trike - take it gently, Rome wasn't built in a day!

First time I rode my trike I went once round our estate and came come and cried cos I couldn't do it!


Title: Re: weather watch
Post by: spanners on November 09, 2015, 11:28:50 AM

Post by: JayJay on November 09, 2015, 03:41:27 PM
One of the first times I went out on my trike I forgot I wasn't on two wheels and I took out my wheelie bin.  :o

I know things are difficult at the moment Spannners but as Bobbi alluded to, you can usually sort out a problem by thinking outside the box. If you really want a new kettle though, you can usually get a basic one for about a fiver from Asda, Sainsbury's, or Tesco.

As my Dad used to say to me (more so when the Polly Peck/Asil Nadir trial was in the Press) "Don't let the buggers get you down.".

Just read that on the news. Looks like those of you up in Scotland are in for a battering.

Meanwhile another 24°. Saw dolphins yesterday.  The lifeguard said I was very fortunate as they are not usually seen where I am. I hope they were dolphins because I was going to go in the sea today.  :o

Don't think it's raining where I am (Worcestershire at present) but the wind is battering and banging things so much I wouldn't hear if it was!

Never noticed Abigail but can't miss Barney!

Terrible weather today. Rain, cold and very windy. Yes, you've guessed it, I am back home after leaving a bright and sunny Portugal basking in 22°C.  Well I suppose I had to come home at some point especially when absence makes the ♥ grow fonder. Yes, I really missed Alfie.  ;)
