This is getting boring from me - today was like Thursday - rain from getting up time to late evening.
You Scots are lucky - and I like your leader better that ours.

Been hard all year to get out on the bike............... Tell me about it Jim............ A poor day forecast has often turned out to be dry - but I don't know that until I've not ridden. A fine day forecast turns out to be wet. A forecast for a wet morning, follows with a forecast for a dry aftern...

A few jobs to do outside including collecting the cut logs. I'll be painting the bathroom ceiling later, then I'll walk the doggy. Hopefully, the weather will hold, but the forecast is for rain (again).

I think you're right John.

By way of a P.S. - I quite agree with Polisman, but I struggle with some of his terminology : 'Proles'? 'Suborners'? 'Coteries'? 'Gharks'? Am I making wild guesses to fully understand? 'Hoos'? Oh, not mine! You have the incredible Mr. Cugel to thank for such literary splendididness! I do however in...
