We turned up at a small cottage in Devon to discover that it didn't actually have entirely useless Ecover dishwashing liquid but something from Morrisons that really works.
It's a miracle.

Indeed.

So are dragonflies

A dragonfly collided with my bike's front wheel today. I hope it was alright; I wasn't riding very fast.

 

[Reynard]

Indeed.

We have a lot of them out this way thanks to all the water. I really do enjoy watching them - especially the really big blue-green ones with the black stripes.

I saw a dragonfly at the Canoe Centre café while I was eating a lemon muffin this morning.

Slight panic this morning when I checked my bank account & noticed a thankfully small payment to Amazon that I knew nothing about. No emails or messages from Amazon, nothing in my purchasing history and no changes to my account settings so changed the password just in case and called the bank to dispute the transaction and they cancelled the card.

Got home and checked my emails to find a dispatch note for a book I'd pre-ordered back in early February and completely forgotten about. I've now got to contact the bank on Tuesday and un-dispute the transaction although it's too late for the card so I've just got to wait for the new one to be delivered.

Other than the problem with the bank card, today has been a lovely day. Up and about early, coffee & a large bowl of porridge to set me up and out of the house at 10:30 for a 50 mile bike ride to Beccles in yet more sunshine, warmth & humidity. Three hours later I was tucking into a small brunch and downing the first pint.

As I'm off to York on Wednesday & coming home on Thursday that's two of my three working days already taken off as holiday so, while waiting for the train home at Beccles station, I phoned the boss and took Tuesday off as well so no work until next week.

How's the blazer?

Ok thanks. I wore it yesterday with some off white/slight cream chinos, a shocking pink shirt, cherry red and cream striped tie, a pink sky and silver pocket square and navy and cream plimsolls and my fine fragrance of the day was Floris No 89, which has a 'lemony' floral aroma.🧐
