Quote from: Raven on May 13, 2026, 10:39:38 PMI can sleep round the clock when my body's too tired. Been doing that quite a bit lately. Dunc keeps going on at me for increasing my pool lengths, I want to get back to 50, I'm at 40 now so only 10 to go. Last time I did it was the day before lock down back at the start of Covid. He keeps reminding me I've gone through a load of trauma and two big operations since then, also I'm 6 years older, says it's too much for me now, and I should be satisfied with the 40.......But I'm not somehow. 😟

Good heavens ! 
It would take me all morning to do 40 lengths .
I am the world's worst and slowest swimmer .

I did get on my friends horse a couple of days ago .
Cantered a couple of circles and then was puffed out .
And it's a great tall thing and dismounting the ground seemed a long way off .
I am fit for nothing ! 

Nope I don't .

I can't open half of these threads, because it wants me to agree to pay!

Sounds brilliant ! 

No new limerick has been started
This has left me broken hearted
OK, let's give it a go
But my thoughts are a bit slow

Absolutely

You'll love the Tattoo GM, dad took us every year when we were growing up. The atmosphere is wonderful, you don't get that on the telly, then the silence in the pitch dark before the Lone Piper high up on the battlements starts his playing, you could hear a pin drop.

Good morning all.  Heavy rain showers threatening today apparently.

I finally tracked down my plumber who let me down yesterday.    He apologised profusely and asked if he could come today between 11 - 1.   
That means I will have to forego my exercise class,  but I want to get this tap done before the weekend.   He is also going to look at a rusty radiator while he's here.

Dripping taps and rusty rads -  is that a bit too exciting for the boring thread?   

What a lovely treat, Granny.   
I am glad you enjoyed your day out.
