Best wishes for Mrs J today and a smooth return to full vision. Someone definitely needs to watch you carefully and you found yourself a diamond there.

A 5.8 this morning on that grrrrrr meter.
I have to take Mrs J to hospital in a few minutes for laser surgery on her eyes, me and me's think that her kill at a glance chip needs a service, but they are calling it clearing of eye socket drainage holes.
Now me and me's must depart, remember the stays.
Good morning everyone from a quite and pleasant start here in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of stir fry - mainly veg but a little chicken little came in at 5.4 this am
Hot yesterday, don’t like it too hot. Cleaned up a couple of bikes that once belonged to Mr Pickle, our grandson; tyres, WD40, rub rub, oil chain, that sort of thing. We have found new homes for them with the children of one of our nieces. I think that they will be the third owners.
Looks like this weekend may be a long one and some folk may get a day off work come Monday. Should we be buying shares in cheep booze and face paint? Don’t forget to hide under the table and delete your NHS track and trace app just to keep safe.
Art bit. Found a photo taken on one of our coastal walks but for the life of me I can’t remember where. Anyhow, hope your Friday is a good one. I have to take my bike in for an MOT in an hour or so. First, some koffy.

A rather surprising 4.8 this morning as yesterday evening was quite stressful. I was lucky that there was a layby really close which, although coned off for the roadworks, I was able to reverse into the exit which was free of cones. It would have been even more scary if I had been on the hard shoulder with the way the traffic was thundering by.
Mr K has taken my car to have a new tyre fitted. He doesn't think that the wheel is damaged.
Back from MOT with crisp new certificate hot off the press. I thought that you could put your reg number into the TFL website for a quick ULEZ check. Don’t quote me though. Ohlins do a nice line in suspension bits - dead cheap I have been toldLiking the re-cycled cycles.
Best thing any kid can learn to do, that freedom..lovely stuff.
Best of luck at MOT. flying colours or thereabouts predicted...
My bikes at a friend's since leg break
He was only meant to be looking after it.
(Sorned)
but he started to clean it
......and you know where THAT leads,
Carbs, clutch, gears, forks,..all tinkered with or swapped out/drained & refilled/renewed,...and then he ran it to get MOT....only passed first time..whoop whoop
Sadly I am in a dilemma.
It's likely it won't pass ULEZ.
Though there is a very slim chance it MIGHT
Testing costs £180...fail and repeat cost.
Friend put his through, failed, result was it needs a cat installing..(stand down Popeye, not THAT type of cat)
Ended up just slightly south of £500, which despite bikes specs putting it into superbike territory..( actually found a "Superbikes of the World" book at the stores that includes it)
Is still a significant chunk, I won't get back come sale time.
And I was despite its emotional ties, thinking of letting it go, pre accident,
I simply don't ride it enough
Decisions, decisions
Luckily the suspension is OK. I must admit I couldn't stop shaking after the blow out - I think it was the shock of it happening so quickly. Luckily I was just about to overtake a lorry but hadn't started the manoeuvre.A hug for the blow out..
We had one many years ago..full on motorway speed, in lane three, just began an overtake BOOM
scariest thing I have ever had, since learning to drive behind the man waving a flag
A super double hug for the llllooooonnnnnggg wait ...unreal
But a BIG win for the calmness shown and the skill getting car into such a safe sounding position
Doesn't bear thinking about, being stranded like that and stuck on a "Smart" motorway
Bonus point for wheel, but can knock suspension too, sadly..hope not
Suggest good day to buy a euro millions ticket, just saying
Superb show, sirBack from MOT with crisp new certificate hot off the press. I thought that you could put your reg number into the TFL website for a quick ULEZ check. Don’t quote me though. Ohlins do a nice line in suspension bits - dead cheap I have been told. Son had them on his R6 for track days fun and frolicks - very shiny.
Yes, a most frightening experience exacerbated by the sheer speed it all happens at,Luckily the suspension is OK. I must admit I couldn't stop shaking after the blow out - I think it was the shock of it happening so quickly. Luckily I was just about to overtake a lorry but hadn't started the manoeuvre.
Good idea about the Euro Millions ticket.
I hadn't read this young whippersnapper before but quite liked the cut of her gib. The vodaphone story and lampooning of the pompous ass Fox boiled my bacon even though I don't do bacon now I'm woke.Reading may help pass the time between Tennis finals and Sweet Caroline Day. Not long until the ho, ho, ho lympics alf. And lo, it came to pass that several posts did hove into view making sense of posts replying thereunto.
I am afraid that most of my thoughts were not on today's schedule. I was trying to work out how to keep the doors locked without setting the alarm at the same time - because everytime I moved the alarm went off. Also, I was working out what to do if another car parked next to me. I was imagining all sorts of scenarios and working out what I should do. It was a bit scary being on my own in a broken down car in the middle of the night and my imagination did run riot.The blow out wasn't a winner but the safe outcome and your attitude most certainly are. Incredibly long wait and being you I assume most of your thoughts would have been on today's schedule. Amazing lady, take care.

Future quiz question. Obvious answer: where it began, I can't begin to knowing. C'mon alf, sing along. It's what you want, what you want, what you really, really want. Alfy Spiceand IF England win it, Will July 11th be forever remembered as "Sweet Caroline Day" and a bank holiday ensue..?
Top girl. Aversion therapy homework done before the weekend. I'm impressed.08.07
No FBG today.
Confession: Last night Gorged. Ate a whole packet of French cakes, orange flavoured with a crisp sugary coating. I don't even like the things, but still ate a whole packet.
They sell something that is a cross between a jaffa cake and a fig roll - disgusting - Can you make madeleines using almond flour - (don’t ask the French).08.07

Those local rescue vehicles work really hard @Krystyna23040Unfortunately it looks like I chose the worst evening of the year to break down and I was finally rescued at 2.30am this morning by a local vehicle recovery firm. I couldn't fault the rescue. The engineer said that he should have left work at 5pm but it had been a rather busy evening.
I hope the day goes well for you and Mrs J @alf_JosiahGood Morening Ladies and Gentlemen. Again me and me's have little time again, yes hospitals again.
