Mundane News

[Jenkins]

Good morning from a bright and sunny Suffolk although it is still a bit soggy in the garden after overnight rain. Coffee has been had while catching up with the news.

At some point I'm going to have to get moving and get some food and drink in for the weekend, but other than that there's nothing to do at all today.

It's going to be hot in a couple of days - talk of 35C on Sunday - so I'm considering getting out of London. But I'm not in a decisive mood. Leeds, York, Harrogate, Bristol, Cardiff? Or off to the Norfolk coast where it will be 10 degrees cooler....

West of Ireland is wet. Has been wet and looks like it will continue for some time.

In the west, it only rains for fifteen minutes every quarter of an hour.

And it's raining in the north too!

Today's 71 plate truck has 682005 kilometres on the odometer and has taken me to Hadleigh & then the joys of Felixstowe docks.. A place @Jenkins misses like a hole in the head 😂

I hope you weren't held up too badly by the roadworks on the Orwell Bridge on your way to hell Felixstowe Dock. Just a warning if you or anyone else sent this way again over the next 6-8 weeks, the bridge will be reduced to one lane each way in a contraflow while they replace expansion joints on the westbound carriageway. Expect long delays.

And no, I don't miss the place at all.

As someone who lives near the coast, my instinct is always to head inland due to all the people inland who head to the coast!

Second cuppa went down well with a slice of frozen toast and lemon curd.
Oops just upset a customer as the part he requires is only stocked in Singapore

That's for sure at the beginning of the weekend or during school holidays. It's not so bad from Sunday night when people with jobs or kids that need to get to school will already have gone back home.
