...useful website for walkers and cyclists...

You can tell the OP's retired, can't you?

Monday morning, long, dreary week ahead, nothing to do, all me mates busy at work. I know, it's a nice day, let's go for a walk.

Not that I'm envious, not even a little. :)

I have sent her an e-mail suggesting she checks the mileage on the bikes every morning and comparing the evening reading against the housework claims!!

>> I have now found that WiFi works reliably outside in the garden - brilliant.

I have a sheltered south facing back garden with some mature trees providing dappled shade if required. A personal epiphany was discovering that my WiFi works outside. When I can I work from home. Lappy and 'phone on the garden table and sit on a "steamer" chair. I keep a flask of ice cold water and one of strong hot black coffee outside with me on fine days. Shorts and a Polo shirt, bare feet......sorted.

I forgot to add that Alf had his statutory three walks - measured on the website as exactly 3 miles on total. Another hard day not at the Office. Do I miss work ? Do I hell. Tough day tomorrow, seeing my financial chap in the afternoon - tougher for him as he'll have to drive 300 miles to see me !

Zero,

I usually do a couple of things not on the jobsheet I think she sees me as a trusted indie rather than a main dealer type then.

I expect he will get his reward somewhere, not that you will ever know where.
