It is sunny here . I'm waiting for my friends to turn up and then we will go off for a ride .
My friend's watch has had it . It is eating batteries . 1.5 volts when I put it in 0.6 volts now !
Drat... That's *really* eating batteries.
I thought my Seiko was bad, as batteries were only lasting five or six months rather than the two and a bit years they did when the watch was new. Sounds like new watch or new movement time.Loving the switch to mechanical watches here. A couple of the ones I bought off the Bay of E will need a service at some point (The Girard Perregaux runs about 4 mins fast in a day and the quickset day / date is cranky on the Seiko), but I can live with their quirks in the mean time.

Two slices of granary toast for luncheon, one with salami, one with sliced avocado, plus a banana, some cherry tomatoes (Christmas Grapes) and two 
I'd really recommend the Christmas Grapes as a variety to grow. The plant is a bush rather than a cordon (gets a bit scraggly but who cares!), crops very prolifically (still have new flowers coming up) and they taste superb. Not as sweet as the commercial cherry tomatoes, but they are sooooooooo tasty.

A couple of miles walked with the 🐶 this morning, now ½ a dozen miles pedalled to the charity shop and back to drop some odds & ends off.
That'll do me for the day.
We're all off to a nearby enclosed field with the girls next door and their dog, Roux Paul, so the dogs can run themselves stupid for an hour 👍

Where are the peeps who were all excited that they shut down coal fired power stations in favour of gas powered ones now ?
I'm hearing that preserved railways are having trouble sourcing coal at affordable prices.

I went for a ride with my friends down the cycle track from Warmly to Bath and back . We did about 20 miles . I'm feeling tired now . I spotted some nice classic steel bikes on the ride .

A slight smirr at one point as I was about to set off on the trike but it only lasted about 10 minutes so got a decent run on busy road again.
Went to get my medication from the pharmacy. No chance as I could not get anywhere near the shop due to multitudes of cars and crowds of touroid practically shoulder to shoulder everywhere. I cannot see any pleasure in what they do and wonder if any of them ever give a thought to the effect they have on those who actually live here. I very much doubt it as the general touroid is entirely selfish and self centred.
Met another neighbour who was born here but lived in S. Africa for many years. She also was sick of tourism and would move away if possible because of the unpleasantness of the whole scene nowadays.
I would like to go to Iona again one day but I think it would be a mistake and spoil my memories of previous visits.
A sea eagle chick has apparently died of asian bird flu. On FB it is noticeable that those who are not sympathetic get the most likes to their posts and the RSPB get no sympathy whatsoever.
