Booked a weekend in Paris as a surprise for my wife. Used an online booking site to use up loyalty points. I've never been to Paris. I don't know the area at all. On the map it looked close to attractions.

This morning I looked on Google street view - it's in the middle of a red light area!
maybe Wifey will be into it?

Piddling down. I've 'refurbished' the cats' climbing tower - they had trashed the replacement sisal rope. So I've removed the lot, and re-roped 4 posts with 12mm sisal rope that I had spare. Strip of grab adhesive to each tube, then rope spiralled round it.

Also decided to trim the laurel hedge on the car parking space side (we've 3 visitor spaces and they border my garden at the side so I maintain them). Not the wisest of ideas, as it was hissing down, but looks nice and tidy. I'd repaired two holes in one of the spaces yesterday (caused by son's spilt petrol).

Raining sideways here. I've taken advice from the girls and am doing a Stayputnik. The photo machine in Tesco can wait for another day.

Had two slices of rye toast for lunch, one with rillettes de porc, one with red leicester cheese, plus a pear, a banana and two :cuppa:

Am about to hang the laundry up, and then I think I shall have a nice girly pamper session.

I've a Henry; we're on our second in 30 years. Brilliant little things.

Oh, and I ended up not just taking son no. 2 to his race at Wakefield, but joining in the E123 at Wakefield. 10 minutes to the start and only 9 had entered, meaning points just for the first 3 finishers not all 10. I entered and in the end there were 12 starters; I came 11th in strong winds and rain riding my son's Cervelo: https://www.strava.com/activities/6711971795
