And down here, the Isles of Portland / Purbeck. I once did some work in the stone quarries thereabouts, on my first visit to the one in thePurbecks there was a young stonemason doing some intricate carving work, he was still working on it when I returned a couple of weeks later. It was to be a piece of remedial work for, iirc, Portsmouth Cathedral. The work had been started in 1936 but was interrupted by the war, and only restarted some time later. They also made and carved headstones, tongue in cheek I asked if I could get a discount, the owner said yes, just let us know your date of birth and we’ll do that for you, the final date will have to be filled in later of course.😀

Morning.
Light drizzle here . It was enough to make Georgie come indoors . He was waiting for me in the kitchen for his breakfast . He ate some of it and has now gone out .

I'm not a footballist but from what I have seen from the few bits of the women's match on the TV their game looks far more interesting than any men's games . I won't go as far as saying exciting as that would be going too far !
From what I have seen it would appear that the men need glasses as they don't seem to be able to see the goal until they are nearly touching it and even then miss !
I won't be watching the match today as that would only jinx it. We haven't watched any so far.

Been wet all night in North Wales. Sun out and a breeze so giving it another brew to let the roads dry, then out.
Not feeling it as had a disturbed night from some chavs who had rented a van opposite (rarely see the owners/very quiet), but this lot were either very drunk, on drugs or both. Tonnes of shouting and one lad wandering up and down the lane swearing at 2am. I need a noisey petrol lawn mower.

The BBC says it's a moderate breeze, I say it's a fresh breeze. The through draft was blowing my bedroom curtains out of the window so I had to open them fully. Cool with unbroken cloud cover.

Morning all. A very fine drizzle has just started in the south east corner of Suffolk, the sky is a uniform dark grey colour and it's quite breezy but very warm.
I think a day at home doing a few domestics and watching or listening to various sports on the TV or radio will be had today.

Walked to Sainsbury's in the rain to get the things I couldn't get at Lidl yesterday. Made an extravagantly large pot of coffee to use up the last of the pack. 
I never quite understand the BBC wind classification. Other than gentle.

Attended my first pride event yesterday (Belfast) Grossly overwhelming for a hermit like me but really glad I went after the fact.

Grey and humid here chez Casa Reynard after heavy overnight rain.
I am having a day in front of the TV and various laptops keeping tabs on all the motor racing and the other sport. Had a banging first touring car race from Knockhill, although the Mini race was less so. My mate RJN isn't doing the commentary from Knockhill this weekend as he's feeling under the weather. Dave Addison is over at Spa for the 24 hours.
Horrible crash in the scratch race heat in the Commonwealths
Gearing up to make some luncheon and settle down to the F1 on the radio.

Glad for the breeze as it dried the Welsh roads up. Good ride, despite a lady in a Q8 panzer getting impatient with the motorhome and mundano that were doing 20 - 25 in a built up area in front of me, then trying to push me out of the way as I decided not to pass both cars. A swift and polite, 'move over and back off' shifted her.
She pulled up next to me flashing her lights at the car in front with no respect for my position. Soon backed off. If she hadn't, I'd have put my carbon soles road shoes in the shiney door.
