I've just changed the oil and filter on my wife's car. It looks like I'll have to get some new front brake pads tomorrow as it seems to have picked up a stone and scored the disc.

I have given the front lawn it's last mow of the year however the back lawns are wet through and the drizzle was quite heavy so no more gardening today

Keeps clouding over a little but then the sun comes back out. Meant to be nice tomorrow too. This means I get to use my new strimmer which will be delivered this evening

I bought a set of Moon USB lights a few weeks ago. The rear one was playing up - it kept switching itself on.

I took it back and they (Rutland Cycles) gave me a new one - no questions asked. I didn’t have to take the front light either.

Seriously Dude, if you want to talk about cycling and stuff then go bother YACF or something.

Best sausages ever for brekky. Hand made by our neighbour Roy the Sausage. Have put in an order for more. Out and about on the bike all morning drumming up online 'Objections' to a sneaky planning application that we thought we'd beaten back in August. Cheeky developer has resubmitted an amended proposal for much the same thing.
So far nobody in favour. All good. Massive new Caravan sites and SSSI's don't mix at all well.

First one to laugh gets put on my ignore list, but, I was looking at a proper paper roadmap, checking out my route to Dorset tomorrow. I wanted to see the road layout in Lyndhurst better, so I put my thumb and forefinger on the page and dragged them apart to try to enlarge.

I mowed front and back yesterday when we got back from Solihull, I also attacked the weeds with the hoe.

Two cans of petrol usually does me for the lawnmower all season. Cut it yesterday leaving a quarter tank and No petrol left in cans. Either the grass has grown faster this year so more mows OR the mower needs a service.
Deffo will need cutting again this side of Bonfire night.

If the weather stays warm it'll keep growing vigorously.

Friday here got to 21, 20 yesterday and it's 21 now. We've something of a mild micro climate here as we're on the beach but behind an old sea defence so quite sheltered. Mower probs needs a service, not been done for two years. Bomb proof Briggs and Stratton engine, starts first pull every time, even first cut of the year. Nine years old this year and one new blade cos I dinged up the original when we first moved here. Previous jolly jesters who lived here having left a chocking great rotary dryer holder-tube hiding in the long grass.

It is nice and sunny here and warm. I just cut the front lawn with a pair of shears and I am now shattered.

 

[Gravity Aided]

I want to cut the grass, but it was misty early am and its a bit damp. May clean the Ford Fusion instead, clean out the mouldy cabbage and wipe up the wee wee.

That's not moldy cabbage and wee wee, that's your transmission.
