Lunchtime stroll completed with a nice gentle breeze

I think we just had seventy-two drops of rain. I remained on my sun lounger drinking coffee and watching a squirrel.

The farmer is "harvesting" the baked beans in the field at the end of the garden. I try to warn new people who have moved in over the past year. They need to shut the windows facing the field unless they want to have a inch of dust in their house.

On an entirely different topic. I watch "Police Interceptors". A recent programme showed them apprehending a driver under the influence of alcohol. There was a passenger that was not charged. I thought that if you were a passenger in a car with a drunk person driving, you would be charged with "aiding and abetting". Am I wrong?

Lovely luncheon of a chunk of pork pie, wholemeal toast with hummus, a pear, an apricot, some blueberries and two

I think we had about half a dozen spots of rain.

We win, had about 10 minutes in the last hour. Managed a lunch time ride for an hour, and may have been hit by 10 spots of rain.

Watching the speed climbing. That's just insane... I've really enjoyed watching the sport climbing, that's serious skill. And flexibility.

Stayed at a B+B in Southwell earlier in the year. The owners had an annexe with a climbing wall 😎.

For what we are about to receive:

Found some lamb chops in the freezer. With a couple of small sliced potatoes, and carrots, half an onion that had languished in the fridge too long, handful of peanuts & rice 1/4tsp of salt, pepper cinnamon & nutmeg together with a bay leaf, splash of wine & vegetable stock cube, made a nice lunch. And some left over for tomorrow.

I have finished the ink drawing of a Chevron B38 Formula 3 car. Now to apply the wash and some more ink detail. But first, I need to apply some masking fluid in a few places.

Also been enjoying the track cycling.

I just went for a very gentle stroll alongside the river Chelmer. About 15 very small raindrops landed on my windscreen when I was coming home. Not even a shrug from the automatic windscreen wipers.

Turned out quite a nice sunny day in the afternoon so sat out in my garden for a while but spoiled a bit by noise from house construction. I used to live with open fields all around but now surrounded by large houses with more getting built. These are not classed as "affordable " unless you have a lot of dosh and each one seems bigger than the last one finished. Who needs 6 bedrooms for an ordinary family house?
My nearest neighbour has just got his roofbox out and is putting it on his car. Getting ready for a day run to Glasgow or Edinburgh airport to pick up his wife and family who have been in Latvia for the last 3 weeks. They really ought to have been back today as Scottish schools have just started.
She is Latvian and the 2 girls have dual nationality. There are quite few Latvian girls here. The local church minster once told us he looked in on a pre school session in the church hall and discovered that of the 10 young mothers 6 were Latvian.
Saw a butterfly which is quite a rare sight this year and must put a picture up later.

Any chance of a tutorial?

I've been clearing some stuff out of my less important shed ready for a tip run on Thursday morning. I'll be sorting more out tomorrow, too.

You have a Less Important Shed?

Do you have a Merely Slightly Important Shed, a Moderately Important Shed and a Very Important Shed or just a More important Shed?
