Cheers. My GP said at the time 'You're 59, you've enjoyed yourself a bit too much. Now you're paying for it and you'd better change a few things!'

I'm feeling if I had a pound for every time I'd heard that one, I'd have retired a long time ago!πŸ™‚

All good thanks. Big health scare a couple of years ago, but all being managed now with some meds and lifestyle changes!

Yep, left that place when Musk took over. Thought I'd give this a go and stumbled into loads of Blues I knew on Twitter.

Good luck with your new job!

A lovely video of Mighty Marine getting to the FA Trophy semi final, with a brief look at Crosby beach and the route to the stadium,five minutes from where I grew up.
Only one game from Wembley, away at Wealdstone.

It's a close-run one, but nothing will ever beat Nev's save at Spurs. I was right behind it - the Spurs fans were in complete disbelief, all talking about it on the way out.

The handpan. Got one, but I spend so much time on the bouzouki, I have less time to practise the pan. Instant conscious competence would be wonderful!

Those two knew the good stuff. The burgers in the pic are from Rothiemurchus.

Their meat is very good. Everything else in the shop has a big mark-up, as it's all a bit touristy. We had a big beef roast one Christmas and the two dogs we then had sat in front of the oven while it was cooking!

Welcome to Rothiemurchus β€” Rothiemurchus

Worth checking out www.rothiemurchus.net

All their meat is from their own herds, butchered on the premises. I think they do delivery. If we ever go near the Cairngorms, we're in there!

It's lovely. Main thing is to make sure it's not overdone. The farm shop we go to does lovely thin cuts of venison haunch which aren't at all tough.

Always thought he was overrated. Smash bang wallop football that tires/injures players and is unsustainablein this league. Very suspect defensively. Moyes handed him his arse on a plate there.

Scratched my head at the last team selection. Scratching it even more today. Genius 1-0 win or inglorious beating beckons...

Lovely and quiet this time of year. Lots of good walking and it is a bit out of the way. You won't pass through; you have to want to go there.

Too early for them to be breeding/have chicks, but there is a permanent webcam for the nest. Dawn is apparently the best time to see them!
