Re: Coronavirus pandemic

Re: Threetowners cycling thread

Out again this morning. I must be mad! Looked out the window - Arran looked incredible, with snow on the top. So the visibility was good at least! Quite a stiff breeze. Got to the top of the road, turned into the wind (to make the trip home easier!) and headed towards Stevenston. Familiar roads to K...

Re: Threetowners cycling thread

First post of the year - and it’s been a slow start. I’m trying to convince myself that it's because of the weather, or lockdown, or something like that. But in reality its been lethargy and “can’t-be-botheredness..”. I did think about going out a few times earlier in the month, but walking out to t...

Re: Back on the wireless again...

Glad you enjoyed it, George. The playlist was knocked together in a bit of a hurry - I'd been speaking to Gordon Hotchkiss earlier in the day, and he'd been grumbling that when Burns time comes round, the mainstream broadcasters tend to play the same 2 or 3 songs by the same 2 or 3 performers. So I ...

Re: Back on the wireless again...

Haven’t posted for a while, but still doing a couple of hours on Friday afternoons and a Monday evening hour.

Tomorrow, Burns Night, expect an appropriate playlist.... with maybe even a full Tam O’Shanter!

Re: The top-level link to https://www.threetowners.net is giving a 404 error

I’d go along with Paul. Yes, it’s been that way for ever- but for some reason my browser has cached that bad url, and it’s now the first thing that comes up when I enter “thre....” in my search bar. Yes, I could clear it, but I haven’t :-) Maybe stick a top-level redirect into the root page - if you...

Must admit, I got up yesterday, looked out the window, then went back to bed :-)

Re: Threetowners cycling thread

Today’s trip, with photos. Cold morning today - heavy frost and lots of ice - so didn’t leave til after 10, and stuck to the main roads. Even so, was a bit nervous - kept thinking of a similar trip a few years ago where I went through a puddle, didn’t realise it was ice underneath, and ended up gett...
