We have a power cut so there's no tea or coffee for me this morning. No mains water either.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

We have power again. The water's still off though. I did manage to fill the kettle with the dribble of water still remaining in the pipes and normal tea service is resumed.

Tis a wee bit windy outside this morning. And it was pitch black still when I got up.

Just back from a blustery 11 miles so time for a shower and then a cuppa.
Have a good day one and all .

retuned from walking with my hounds, and now enjoying first coffee of the day.....laptop ,where else but open on lap ! Thinking about the first person l met on my walk , a bloody tourist dressed as if he was about to venture into darkest who knows where, hardly managed to acknowledge my "bonjour" too busy staring into his bloody Garmin navigation gizmo. C'mon almost everyone around here does have opposing fingers and thumb

Morning.
It's Windsday here today .
I ordered some copper rivets to repair my old Brooks saddle . I thought I had put it off long enough .

Isn't there another travel correspondent apart from Simon Calder ? I'm getting fed up of seeing his cheerful face !

Where's Judith Chalmers ?

 

[LeetleGreyCells]

I'm stuck in a telephone queue. Why do they make on-hold music so irritating?

@Illaveago More like Kate Adie at the moment

@LeetleGreyCells Its to make you so peeved that you slam the phone down and go away 😉

 

[PeteXXX]

Fortunately, I'd just finished watering some plants before it started ☔ ☔ it down!

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

I've just been in a telephone queue too. The weird thing was that after pressing the numerous options to get to speak to a human bean, they answered the phone with ''Is it about the water supply?'' They have my number, and using it brought up my details ''on the system'' down to the flat number. Spooky!

And why is it so loud, we're not all deaf, though we might be after too much time on hold.

That would make sense.

Just back from a bike ride into town. Bought new underwear.
Figured I deserved a treat.

But you could have a larger cup of tea, maybe even two, for one coffee.

I usually have both, at some point in the morning.
Blonde coffee, black tea.


Make what you will of it.
