Do you have anywhere on the IoW where you can get a demo?

No, we're still in the Dark Ages over here. Some live in caves and rub sticks to make fire . . . :rolleyes:

Thanks for the YT link, I'll take a look now. (y)
 
Got the van back from the garage last night, going to spend the day getting it ready then going to set off again. A few week traveling along the Spey valley then down and along Deeside before heading to the daughters for some dog sitting.

Been looking to get a new Tassimo machine and had one in my Amazon list which was around £80. Looked this morning and it's now £34! :banana:

Have you checked Tassimo's own prices? We had to replace ours a few weeks back (bar code reader window fnurked!) and Tassimo were the cheapest place to get the replacement
 
WCMUT is having some useable internet. Too hot to do much else anyway so sitting in the open doorway with the lappy shrouded in a blackout curtain, hoping the breeze doesn't fire the towel clip over the balcony...
 
IIRC, ours was the same price at both but the Tassimo store threw in 5 packs of assorted coffees. Delivered (as are our pod orders) by Amazon.
 
Turned 56 and have spent a month umming, ahhing and researching.

Finally decided on a present to my self and hopefully my future health.

I treated myself to a Trek District+5 XL for my early retirement. It should have been 5k, but because it was last year's model with a 725wh battery instead of the newer 800wh, it was reduced by £1750. I have done 272 miles in 28 days so far. Had to go for +5 has it has a higher weight carrying capacity.

I got it to replace a 10 year old model with over 4000 miles on it. I was ahead of the curve, got my first ebike 17 years ago.

I have got to admit that the Trek is the best I've had, it has the CVT gears (fully automatic) and the problem I had buying ebikes was getting one big enough for me. I'm 6'2" so the Trek XL is a perfect fit, I dare say I might have managed with a large, but I would probably had to have the seat post up 4/5".
 
Today is a milestone for my wife and I. Last year we got our GOG (genuine old git) bus passes, today we used them for the first time. We parked at Bluewater shopping centre and took the bus to Dartford, where we bought some quality, fruit, veg, spices and a couple of Polish Pilsner beers from an International shop. We had a good walk around and then came home, before it got too hot. It was an adventure which we both enjoyed, so we will have get a bit braver next time and try further afield.
 
First game of g*lf since holiday - 3 1/2 weeks off...

Despite a blob (non scoring hole), I managed 24 Stableford points over 9 holes. MOST unusual for me - I usually have a couple of decent holes but 4 pars in a round is a first.

Got mine at the begining of the year...great aren't they...shame they don't work on trains!
 
My normal rounds are between 12 and 20 points - mainly at the lower end!

It was 7 nett birdies/eagles with one blob and a nett single bogey.

The course is only a 33 par 9 holes (with a few extra tee spots for s slightly different "back 9") and about 2 1/2 - 3 miles around it (depending on zig-zags...)

Typically, I hadn't signed in to the computer so the score's non-counting. My usual first-round-after-holiday is up in the mid 50s rather than low 40s and it was a social, hybrid (stroke and matchplay) round.

Expecting normal service to resume on Thursday!
