Huia,

It should just read Cyclist,.........my son had a bad crash on his mountain bike and finished up in hospital........nothing broken but he was stitched up in a few places and bruised from head to foot.

His helmet saved his head....thank goodness.

That's me on an Ice Climb doing an Ed Hilary impression. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Stephen, it wasnt motorbikes in the competition, just 'push' bikes, the sort that have to be pedalled. I have put 3 photos I took on my FB page, for those that know how to find me there.

Morning Stephen and everyone else
Had a lovely cream tea yesterday with my daughter in law and her sister to celebrate dil birthda. We had a nice time and plenty of talking too.
Today we dog sit for a couple of weeks and the family are coming to dinner, so more entertaining.
Yesterday morning went to our youngests old flat to clear and clean getting ready to market it after her marriage break up. Sad but not as bad as I thought it might be. New start and all that.

Have a nice Sunday everyone
Glad Marilyn is far enough south and not further north in america, sounds bad.

Morning Folks,

Nice to see Huia , Yvonne and Mo dropping in.......I feel a lot better now and not nearly so lonely ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Had my son visit yesterday for a few hours. A lovely surprise. It's good to chat. Don't see him as much as I would like to. :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

Glad the cyclist was ok. There is not a lot of protection when you crash with one of those bikes.

The weather is pretty miserable this morning so no walks today I dont think. A few bits and bobs to do so that'll keep me busy.

Have a good day ya all !

Keep well , keep safe , keep smiling :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

I thought I had deleted my duplicate post, Mo, but perhaps it was too slow and I gave up. I have deleted it now.

The young lad got a really thorough going-over by the paramedics to make sure he was ok, although I am sure he will have a few aches today, despite all the 'armour' they wear.

I took a lot of photos today, but one of the cameras is over-exposing them, although I did alter it's setting and got a few good ones until it decided to play up again. I will have to ask the woman in the shop what is wrong with it. I got some with my smaller camera too. Must do a bit of tweaking (brightening some, cropping some, etc.) When the sun is shining it is hard to see what I am getting on the screen, so I usually allow extra space around the subject. I did at one stage switch to using the view finder but I dont like it, and I forgot I had it on that setting and wondered later on why I couldnt get anything on the screen. I thought it might have cooked in the hot vehicle. So many things to think of.

What is it with this site, it takes ages to get onto this thread, and then it's posting things twice.

Ooh Huia, I hope the lad was o.k after his fall from his bike. I hope you get some good shots in Raglan, I shall enjoy having a look at them on F.B.

I do wish I was clever enough to do card making. I went in to buy a valentines card for Roly, and was disgusted at the cards on display.
I do like a card to have nice words, and the ones that were left in the shop, had hardly any words in them at all.
So I shall get my thinking head on, and add my own special verse for my lickle love.

Stephen you did well keeping the thread going, and your daily jokes are to be recommended as a starter to get us going for the day, thank you.

Marilyn, you keep promising to send us some sunshine, has it got lost on it's way over to us.
I hope you are enjoying yourselves. I bet you are as brown as berries by now.

See you later folks. Mo

I do look in each day, Stephen, but dont always post. I went out yesterday to watch some mountain bike championships just over the hill, to try out my photography. One young lad crashed next to me! He had just come over a big jump.

Today I am off to Raglan which is a seaside town West of Hamilton if you have a map. The photography club is having an outing there. I want to get off very soon so see you all another time.

Hello strangers,
I hope you are all keeping well, and staying warm in this weather. No snow here, but very cold.
Good evening Foggy,how the devil are you. Have you heard from George lately?

I see that Stephen, Jeni and Linda have been keeping the thread going. Well done folks.

It must be nearly time for our wanderer Marilyn to return, she seems to have been gone for ages this time.
I bet she is sunning herself, with either a glass of wine or a G+T in her hand, lucky thing.

No news from Shelly lately. I hope she is o.k.

See you soon folks. Love Mo
