Morning all. I do wish people would stop asking me complicated work questions before the first cuppa of the day has been consumed.

ERNIE appears to have give my prizes to Evri and they've lost them so no bonus spending money this month

Send them a bill; you'll never be asked again.

A bit like the doctor who met a solicitor at a party and remarked that he was plagued by people asking for free medical advice and how did the solicitor cope with the same.
"Easy I do as I am now doing and making out a bill for £50. You can pay me now or have a month credit."

The case of the missing grapes !

My wife and I noticed that one of our grape vines had some small grapes on it . Today we couldn't find them !

The grapes were small , about the size of small peas. We can't think what could have taken them .

Blackbirds usually try to get mine.

Wet and windy today and worse forecast for tomorrow. My neighbour has taken down his flags again so that is a sure sign of high winds to come soon.
Ernie has had the cheek to give me nothing this month. First blank this year.
Cooking for the freezer since I am stuck indoors and mebbe a fruit loaf as well.

Why won't people learn to close up in traffic jams? People were stuck on roundabouts due to some selfish idiot leaving a 2 car space because they couldn't be bothered to let the handbrake off!
Because of that idiot there were jams forming on other roads which could have been flowing normally .

Is that worse than the ones who cause a jam because they don’t leave a gap at roundabouts?

Two day's drive from Yorkshire, across France to the Vendée done safely, although I did clonk a height warning barrier with the bikes - no damage fortunately.

The B&B near Rouen was 'rustic' but OK as the Chambre d'hote I used previously has changed ownership and wasn't open when I was booking.

Bike ride out to the coast at Sion for a coffee early this morning and son no. 2 has gone off on a longer training ride because he's racing tomorrow evening. I'm off for a swim instead.

My son's stuck in Belgium, injector fault - didn't think to sort it at the start of his holiday a week ago though (too bust watching racing at Spa and partying), now holed up in a hotel in Liege on his own whilst the AA inspect his car and decide on best course of action - fix there or ship him and car home. Fortunately he listened to me about getting European Cover.

Ernie won't let me in! I think I'll wait until the queue has died down.

 

[postman]

It's cleaning Tuesday in Lancashire, so that means a fish and chip lunch at Seniors Restaurant in Poulton le Fylde,and they are so good,a nice breadcake so I can make a fish buttie. What's not to like.Roll on lunchtime.

Met Office’s idea of 10% chance of rain is hammering against the conservatory roof

 

[DCLane]

@mistyoptic - currently it's hot and sunny here in the Vendée. The forecast for the next 10 days is also 'hot and sunny '.

Sorry!
