The water canon was in action on the way home again this evening - yet another unwanted cold shower

These Church types are a nuisance.

Reminder to self: tea cosies are only effective when you place them over the teapot...

Oh, and I now know why the weather has turned so crappy...

A good friend of mine has bought a Saab 95 cabriolet.

We can all go and blame him.

do you mean a 9-5, the 95 is quite a different beast (ex SAAB mechanic pedantry mode off)

I used to drive past Jackie Pallow's house in Minster in Thanet. (then he moved to Haine Road)
He collected SAAB 93's.. Lots and lots of 93's!

Morning .
It is a sort of milky sky this morning with some thin high cloud . The sun is trying to break through .
Not sure what I'm doing today . I managed to get 2 pairs of jeans and a pair of shoes from a charity shop yesterday . I've worn out several pairs of jeans which then become useful for when I'm working on my car crawling around underneath or when decorating in the house . No need to dress up posh when you are going to get covered in oil or dust .

Saturday afternoon wrestling on the Beeb.
Good old days when they sometimes put on Motorsport .

No need to water the onions and potatoes in today, it rained for while, first I have seen in weeks. Vaccination at 15:00, the most exciting thing all week.

Essential kit for daytime survival. It serves to prepare me for the first coffee hit of the day.

I've now just wasted half an hour trying to find that nostalgic chanson française by Trenet which mentions théières.

Until I get off my prevaricating backside to decide what to fill the remaining space in a large crate with this house remains tealess. I polished off all of the fine teas of the wife and the 200g of English breakfast that stung me €12 at the local shop which is now closed as none essential (how is it none essential?) and am left with coffee, that is all wrong, tea first, coffee afterwards is the right way.
So I think I will just ask her to buy some more poppadums and Tiptree brown sauce and seal up and send so that my PG Tips gets here before I lose my soul.

My ears perked up last night when I heard on Radio 4 news that some restrictions would be lifted by the 3rd week of May here. The excitement lasted for several seconds as the reader explained that the curfew would be shortened by one whole hour and the interesting shops would reopen. There was some mention of bar and restaurant terraces reopening but that was tempered by the announcement of a just slightly longer travel leash.

Definitely essential viewing for my mum!!
She didn't like Jackie Pallow of Mick McManus. Les Kellet was her favourite..

Almost reached 1,000 miles of riding this month. But I can’t be bothered bringing it over that figure today as I plan to go for a walk instead. Nice not being obsessed about rounding the mileage up.

That takes me back around 50 odd years. I had a lovely lady who was actually my Godmother but called her Auntie for some reason. She was such a pleasant and kind soul and never said a bad word about anyone, but come 4.30 on a Saturday and the wrestling came on, she really got quite animated and into it. It was so funny to watch.
