Ladies - how do you feel today?

Well apart from the Scots to win (obviously) never forget the French! Sorry to rub salt in but the Irish are looking really good too.

Anyway I take back the Yanks beating 0z as they seem well on their way to a thrashing!

So the Aussies & the Kiwis played great, hopefully the Irish (in about 6hrs) will thrash Romania then in 8hrs it will be time for the Scots to whip the Argies I must confess I am a bit feart!

Boo hoo! The Scots lost by 1 point, it was a great match tho. Will now have to beat England to stay in. That will be some match!

On other topics I have had a lovely weekend. Spent quality times with both my daughters (separately & together). Also caught up with a girlfriend whose is going thru a breakup.

Today (after I got over my Rugby blues) I have cooked a winter stew.

Guess what? The weather forecast is predicting a mini heatwave this week! Should have bought salad.

Bring on the nice weather! Today it was a mixed bag from blue sky to dark rain but the rest of the week is looking HOT! I'll be happy if it happens!!!

I feel soggy. It has been raining so hard almost non stop all day. It's dark, too.

I guess I'll drink tea and then vacuum my place.

It did end up getting super hot here, 28-30° for five days. Pure bliss! Now it's back to typical UK autumn weather... surprise surprise...

I feel like I'm coming down with a cold so I've been stuffing myself full of medicine to keep it at bay. I'm in a three day training course (leadership development) so can't afford to be sick right now. If I wasn't on training I'd probably say bring it on just so I could have a sick day to chill on the couch...

Ladiees... I am so tired of PINK that I could scream!

Was having a browse around motorcyclecloseouts.com because I was thinking about taking a BRC come spring just to try out riding (the classes are cheap enough). I don't mind getting the other required gear secondhand (jacket, gloves, etc.) but I don't want to buy a secondhand helmet (I figure if I can find something not-too-expensive, even if I never use it again I could sell it--but I've heard too much around here that a used helmet is A Bad Idea).

O...M...G. Just about every helmet for women on that site is either pink or has little flowers or hearts and junk on it. I'm not a girly-girl. I would only wear pink and girly stuff if my life depended on it, TBH with you. I would want just a plain black helmet, or similar. No butterfly graphics, no pink streaks (to be fair, I wouldn't be that big on flames or skulls either. Just don't need something flashy). (Unfortunately I have a small head so a men's helmet is probably out of the running. Youth boys' helmet, maybe?)

(I feel like I run up against this in everything from running shoes-- all white and pink and lavender and turquoise and lots of other easy-to-dirty colors-- to cycle helmets, to shaving razors.... is pink really what most women want, hence why manufacturers insist everything "for women" has to be that color? Am I WEIRD to want the same color choices men have? Am I nuts to not like pink? Do I just need to dig a little deeper?)

If you ride a computer chair why do you need a helmet? Do you have dangerous co-workers?

Try on some XS helmets that are not gender specific. Lots of plain choices.

Icon, HJC, Scorpion are a few that have plain......
