What colleges or universities are teaching people that you should get rid of things before you have it's replacement in place? It's a bit like pressing delete on hours of work you've done on your computer before saving it. It seems to be the norm at the moment.

Good morning, a grey start to August here.
The festival starts today, so, yes, the end of summer.

Good morning from a grey and overcast Suffolk - did we have the full year's quota of sunshine in May & June?
Coffee has been had and the bank accounts checked to confirm the early month payments & transfers have been made as necessary.
Things to do today are to sort out the British Cycling membership renewal and do the rounds of the various comparison companies for the car insurance. The filters on the water jugs also need to be changed, but that can wait until they are both empty as they were filled last night.
More important is breakfast & a second coffee as it seems to be one of those mornings.

If you want something doing do it yourself
Second cuppa going down well with a slice of toast and peanut butter
A brisk walk to local post office completed

It has arrived 
Last time, many years ago, I got a full tin of Proofhide. Now a small sachet.
If it is as comfortable as the last one was for thousands of miles, I will be very happy.
I will repair the old one once I collect a broken one from a friend, as I think I can rivet in the nose piece which broke in mine, but I decided to buy a new one for my touring bike as I can't help thinking if one piece of metal failed, then other parts could do as well.

Weather here alternates between gerpischining it down in volume (Apparently 27l /m² was forecast for the morning) and bright sunshine.

Stuck the bedding changed on Wednesday in the wash and popped out to get some food, hoping to beat the rain. It started tipping it down as I got to Lidl and I got soaked on the way back.
Two miles up the road here at home it's been bone dry until 30 seconds ago.

Lunchtime, and as usual the phone is ringing.
I'm ignoring it; it's remarkable how long people will let a phone ring before giving up.

We have some kitchen cupboard 'pull out' shelving system arriving tomorrow. Two relatively small boxes, but B&Q have emailed and called to see if a large truck can get access to the property ! I said it's fine unless people park stupidly (which happens all the time).
