Morning .
It is very misty here this morning .
I cut the power to our extension last night just to be on the safe side as the water poured in . It is dry out there this morning but the ceiling has damp trails where the plasterboard joins.
On our way home yesterday I can remember seeing a huge cloud and thought that there was an impending storm underneath it . I didn't realize that one of those clouds was aimed at us .
I had a look to see where the possible entry point was last night and came to the conclusion that the shower and cooker hood extractor vents must have been overwhelmed by the amount of water and it just poured in .

Morning all, tea's up.

We had a peaceful dry night here. I'm almost jealous of all the weather that seems to be missing us.

Please don't rub it in. My potatoes have flopped over. I can't earth them up any more so I'll try staking them. Never knew I was so good at growing them!

Recycling bin day, today. It's full to overflowing due to a couple of shed clear outs!

Yesterday, I took a rucksack full of bike bits & bob's to the Umbrella Fair bike charity. Its not reopened properly, yet, but the chaps were there about to start a tidy up while they have the chance. I have another rucksack full ready for my next ride there 👍🏼

Just back from a 5K run, it’s quite misty out there this morning.

Morning all. Recycling been and done. Bags put away. Mattress has been dragged, fighting and kicking, all the way to the front door. New one is hopefully been delivered this afternoon before I go to work.
Had my now, frelled, rear wheel collected to be repaired by a local guy, [Sorry fella, I've completely forgotten your name!] I'll find his details and give him a shout out to any one in the Bridgend area.
Started taking? Drinking? Apple cider vinegar, [ginger & water mix.] try to lose some weight. Probably will help, as it's suppressed my appetite/greed impulses.

Just been on to the insurance company who seem to be doing what they are good at and are trying to wriggle out of it ! They are sending out an assessor.
I think my wife said that the insurance company believe that it was due to the design of the roof . It had passed building regs! Well they can get their money back off them as they should have been insured .
It is amazing that insurance companies aren't featured on the Beeb programme" Named and Shamed".

I keep getting emails from Scot Rail giving me Covid-19 related travel news.

I did have a browse last year of their time tables and possible routes on their website to see if what I was planning to do was possible. I did not sign up to anything or book anything as it wasn't possible to book a bike place on the train. I didn't give them my email address. I bought my ticket in person at the ticket desk in Inverness Station with cash. I did not give them any information whatsoever.

So how did they get my email address and why am I on their mailing list?

Big brother is watching

You have a silver bin? now that's posh.

Don't blame me, it's what the council call it.

I like bagpipes & brass bands, there I've said it

I'm hoping you are a gentleman.

We had a piper at our wedding. He played wonderfully.

Over the hills & fat away?

Cycled back from work in stunning weather through beautiful scenery and now I'm back it started kersplooging it down with additional thunderstorms.

Because of the big veranda I can leave the doors and window in the living room open so I'm listening to the rain.
