Was just about to take the dog a walk but the bright blue skies are greying & there is black skies moving in from the North West, I do wish those pesky Lancastrians would keep their weather to themselves rather than pushing it over the hill to us.

Feeling slightly guilty.

A local film maker and drone flyer is always posting his films on FB, and the latest is 'finding the source of the mighty River Lune'. It's a nice little film with a few errors in the captions... but the one glaring error is that he's found the source of the mighty river Eden, not the Lune.

...so after a whole day of nice comments on FB from the locals, I've had to point this out

The video's been removed from FB for some reason

I wonder if he'll post another after his next jaunt up into the Howgills

Homes under the b***day hammer !

Is that a documentary about Phil Milner?

It only stopped raining here an hour or so ago, but it's very blustery. Sunny at the moment, but there is more cloud rolling in. And it's cold.

I am wearing two pairs of socks. Umm, and a thick fleece and fleecy joggers. I've just realised, that other than the socks, everything else I am wearing was bought in Decathlon.

Slept a solid nine hours, but still feel like I've not slept at all. Head is bunged, eyes, nose and mouth are so dry and my lips and tongue are itchy and tingling.

Careful now, have you seen what's been going on round here recently?

Today's theme in the photography challenge is "Most Treasured Possession"

I don't need to explain this one. All four arch lever files' worth of it. But the programme is signed on the cover by both Paul and Derek. Shame it's Ross Hockenhull on the cover, though.

And whoever is peeling onions, would they please kindly desist...

When we took the dogs out this morning it was the first time in 10 weeks we managed to get round the 2 mile loop without seeing anyone . Hurrah!

I’ve removed six broken slabs from our pathway this morning and laid down some new ones, except three were half slabs so I had to cut them with an angle grinder. Bloody dirty heavy work.

It is absolutely widdling it down here. Still, we need it after several weeks of warm sunshine.

Went out to the shops in the window predicted to be mostly dry in the weather report, so of course it started raining much harder as I left the shop.

Thankfully it only takes about five minutes to get back to the apartment, so now I'll close the door and let the weather do as it wishes until tomorrow I think...

About to plan a 60 mile ride to a pub 4 miles away.

I need a third water barrel, the two I have are full.

Thought this was going to turn into a cunning puzzle where we have to tell you the capacity of the new barrel in gallons.

Realised it wasn’t when you missed three vital pieces of information; the hardness of the rain, the ratio in size of the old barrel to the new barrel, and whether you were wearing socks or not.

But I’m guessing 10 gallons.

The ad said 210l, and yes, I am wearing socks.

In other news, the birdbath I repaired broke again yesterday, depositing its contents on my left foot. Shoe & socks damp.

Just put up two pieces of artwork in the "I've been painting again" thread - a Jaguar XJR14 and some pickup trucks.

I sold something at auction on the bay and now the winning bidder doesn't want it ! . They should have removed their bids long ago .
