Mundane News

I couldn't sleep so I've drunk a pot of tea instead. This means that just after I eventually go back to sleep, I'll need to get up again and go to the toilet.

A blackbird was singing heartily from around 3:15 but moved to another song branch some distance away about half an hour ago so I could only hear him faintly. He's gone even further now so after a brief gull fly past I can only hear a magpie clearing its throat. And an early plane heading for Heathrow.

And me so off for a ride

It's been raining overnight but it's sunny now. Supposedly clouding over later this morning..

Back home after 13 gentle miles
Damp underfoot roads so it must have rained overnight.
First cuppa brewing.
Blue sky with some clouds

First cuppa went down well

is it infidelity, if I have an ice cream cone on my way home from work & don't tell Wifey?

Ooh! Opening up yourself to blackmail there!

Good morning all, cloudy with a hint of brightness here.
Will do the cleaning then go for a little ride hopefully avoiding the possible showers.
Afternoon will be spent watching the Tour, hoping that Kelso’s Onley and Morningside’s Flynn get through ok. Amazing that there’s two Scottish riders in the race.

Morning.
I have just been up the garden calling for Georgie. He hasn't been in for his breakfast and his biscuit bowl hadn't been touched in the night. I think he must have been asleep under the hedge at the bottom of the garden as he casually strolled out when he heard me. I have given him his wet food this morning and he has now wandered off up to bed.

Was it a "slippery slope"?

Good morning from Suffolk where we've had a bit of everything so far today - early morning rain followed by bright sunshine and back to cloud and a bit of a breeze at the moment. Coffee has been had after a very average night's sleep.

Today will be a quiet day which may involve getting the duster out and giving the race car models their six monthly going over.

Second cuppa went down well with a doorstep toasted crust with peanut butter on it .

And it's raining again - not at reservoir filling levels, more the annoying drizzle type. At least it's forced me to get on with the model cleaning which is done and won't need doing again until next year.

I think it's time for a second coffee along with a sausage roll as a treat.

Yesterday was a hopsital visit. Last time my white cell blood count was at 1.0. Anything below that and they would be very worried. Yesterday it was 1.8 and all other stats were good. I have no idea what the scale is for white cell count.

I have lost 1kg over the last four weeks. This is within their acceptable parameters. She said they do not want anyone on Chemo treatment to loose weight rapidly. Two pounds, or 2.2 if you prefer, is not a lot.

I was hoping for a quiet day today. The lady opposite is having a new bathroom fitted, (very noisily) and some one is having their driveway jet washed.
