WHAT DID YOU SAY!

Just to the west of Witham, in Essex, there is a very minor road yclept Dancing Dicks Lane.

It has been my honour and privilege to record this fact on Open Street Map.

This is fantastic.
It makes me wish I had GPS so I could add Skirl Naked, which leads to Happy Valley, in Northumberland.

My Mum is getting a ginger kitten. We're calling her Daisy (the kitten, that is).

Wonderful!

Didn't have you pegged as a wine connoisseur.

A thump on the doormat reveals - I have been accepted at the University to finish my degree!  More of  my own time taken up, which is less time for cycling; but I was worried I'd left it too close to the deadline.  I'm really happy about this.  So I've got the job I always wanted, a wonderful Juggler to share my life, and my kids are doing OK.  Plus a fantastic hobby, and a chance to do some academic stuff as well.  How blessed am I?

Excellent, Mr & Mrs j. 
Does this mean you will both be coming up to Kirriemuir next year? 

[jogler]

At the present time it is unlikely that Mrs. J will ever be able to ride more than a few miles without the use of a Honda Goldwing tandem but we are exploring various options to allow her to extend her range,
Simultaneously she is persevering with her efforts to overcome her knee & spine problems.

She still enjoys being involved in the cycling scene & likes to be at York & Mildenhall rallies & she is likely to join me with assisting at the Mille Cymru start/finish venue at Upton Magna village hall.
She may be at Kirriemuir next year but not to ride.She is curious to see what the post ride enthusiasm was about,paricularly those bridies

[toekneep]

It all sounds good to me. 

[pixieannie]

Excellent news.  So pleased for you both.

My good news, I may get to see my new grandson in the not too distant future, it's simply the best news in a long time.

[jogler]

That would indeed be first class p.annie.
One's grandchildren are one's reward for not killing one's kids

I just spotted this.  Excellent news! 

[Polar Bear]

I have secured a bit of funding to help me get through my LPC.   

[meddyg]

My (non-cycling) daughter phoned yesterday to say she has a First in Psychology Finals from Cambridge!
She had to secure a 2:1 to start her first job in September.


(they now send results by Email at 0800h - no hanging around peering over shoulders at noticeboards)
still uncertain, she has to call her room-mate to say "does this mean I've got a First?'

We're all woop-ing here in West Wales!

[peliroja]

Woop woop! Well done meddyg the younger!
