Bonnie's had her flea & tick tablet this morning. 🐛

The sun is dappling the walls of the bungalows opposite, and the Raptor perched on the roof transmogrified into a pigeon once I’d put my glasses on.

I get this feeling that the Japanese GP may not happen. Still chucking it down.

Will they do just one lap under the safety car ?

Morning.
It was lovely and clear when I first got up but now some cloud is moving in from the West .
I am about to go and make another . Does anyone need anything thing whilst I'm up?

Toast and marmite please, or marmalade if you're not a marmite house. Thank you. When you say what weather you have I always know what's due here in the next hour or so. Better than the Met Office 😎

Back now have I missed anything?
First cuppa went down well
Garden birds have been fed
Time for a warm shower

Just went to re-proof my walking boots as I was starting to get wet toes. They have split extensively.

I'm working today 😔

Sunday rate

Horrible wet day day. Decided to have breakfast in the cafe before driving home but had to wait until ten for it to open.

Seems the only thing that opens early in this town on a Sunday is the tourist shop. I suppose they need to be there in case someone needs an emergency Aran cardigan, blackthorn stick or photo of John Wayne in a flat cap.

Cannonball Run?

I have seen a few doing that racing around the NC500 at max speed. Dangerous B's overtaking on the northern A9 in the face of oncoming traffic in case they get left too far behind the rest. I was glad to get off that road when heading south from Caithness.

I have done something terrible. The living room storage heater is on. In the last couple of years it was end of November/early December before the heating was on. I think you feel the cold more as you get older.
Strong winds and heavy rain imminent with warnings of ferry disruptions.

As someone who grew up in Cornwall this made me laugh! The number of times that you could buy any number of seashell constructions but not a sandwich... Though I am taken with the idea of an emergency Aran Cardigan
The Mister has a martial arts grading today and the girl has a cold. I am going to shortlist walking boots online for a proper shop tomorrow. These last ones were just coming up to two years old, but all the lockdown walking did them in.

Beautiful sunny day here a gentle breeze blowing

I've given in too and stuck just the hall one on at low and with the internal doors left open, it's just enough to keep the chill off the air. I will try and resist putting the living room one on for a while unless we get an exceptionally cold spell.

Sounds like the race officials are incompetent again!

You can't blame the rain on them!

What would you call a high price? I paid £95 to have my Kelek serviced earlier in the year, which is very reasonable as these things go. Considering that the whole movement has to be dismantled, cleaned and then reassembled by someone who really knows what they are doing. It's fiddly work with lots of opportunities for sproings and pingfeckits.

Today's watch is a Seiko 2206 hi-beat with a blue & white TV dial.

If I recall correctly it was >£150 & the Rotary didn't cost that much.
