I always start with Audio

For the First time in 2 years I took my mother outside her care home and round the local park in a wheelchair. She was very nervous and it must have seemed like a trip to Australia for her. She enjoyed it I think but was glad to be back in the institution.

Porcupine tree in November at Wembley arena.

Cooking a steak perfectly.

We need one badly as well, just can't face it.

I see the Ruskies have taken control of Chernobyl. They did their damndest to solve the problems they created there and hopefully they are trying to protect it from war damage.

I fear for the Baltic states and the NATO trigger. Then again the geographical anomaly that is Kaliningrad looks a worrying target from the Russian point of view.

I always start with another word (contains 4 vowels). I begin the day with wordle over breakfast and a coffee, excellent fun website. I also do Worldle https://worldle.teuteuf.fr/ which is also excellent but obviously limited.

February has been a right off for me so far, hoping the weekend will bring a cycling window.

Is it a cyber attack from Putin already?

Is there an easy way to post that or do you have to upload it to a image sharing website first? I never got to grips with posting images on the TNMS. Are photos copy and pasteable  here?

Signals - Rush

Always my Rush goto album

Chill but with bright skies I did my usual route. The roads however were wet under rubber and often had either a thin film of liquid mud,running water or general clods of mud on them.Took it gently as didn't fancy coming a cropper, first time I wore my big gloves out and that also was a potential pilot error waiting to happen scenario.

Nice logo.

Well first potential cycle day on the new forum and I have wimped out (based in the South). Drizzle and mud, miserable stuff. I only have one assembled bike, a BMC team machine about 6 years old, a Specialized Allez hangs on the garage wall, I tried changing the rear bearings, ballsed it up and have never been able to put it back together again. So I want to keep my one good bike in reasonable condition so tend to take it out when dry, if it rains on route that's ok.
