Had a 0.0 lager with lime this afternoon (2 actually). I'm generally not so keen on the no-alc beers but with lime cordial added it was very refreshing.

You need to experiment a bit as some are quite acceptable. Cannot remember the name but I had had some from Tesco which were ok.
I quite like some of the ciders as well but often too sweet.

The rain passed over by midday and a lovely day ensued but a bit windy.
Some more garden tidying beside my front path.
I find this very tiring work as ivy and bramble are two persistent nuisances as well as the bishop weed. None of them can be eradicated easily so it is a matter of keeping them under control.
Bending is a problem so bishop weed is a hands and knees job. I have a strong plastic fish basket for the weeds as I need it to help me back on to my feet.
Spent the rest of the afternoon resting in my garden despite one short, light shower.
Strange thing is I can cycle reasonably well for reasonable distances but everything else exhausts me very quickly these days.
 
Had a lovely luncheon of a chicken sandwich, plus a pear, an orange, some strawberries and two :cuppa:

Spent some of the afternoon in the shade in my camping chair reading, then upped sticks for a bicicylar bimble once it'd cooled off / clouded over.

Had a very nice bimble to Oxlode in the company of Max the MTB, and on the way home (about 18:10-ish), I saw the Red Arrows fly past directly overhead - low and in two echelons, one of five in a V-shaped formation followed by the remaining four in a diamond. They were pretty low (couple of hundred metres at most), flying northbound at a fairly sedate pace. So I had my own little display :becool:

Am now relaxing with a :cuppa:
