On the subject of potholes! Has anyone thought about applying to the councils to build viewing centres next to them like that one in Arizona?

Weather is wet again. As it's warmed up, I'll pop to B&Q for some grass seed for the 'lawn' at the side of the drive. It was a lawn until my son used it for two trailers and car parts. He's taken one trailer and I've managed to drag two doors onto our decked area near the green house and out of the way. There is still an engine that I've managed to move into a corner. As you can imagine I've been left with mud. This was a well draining lawn that was never muddy and a very good soakaway. Need to get the grass re-established.

Only issue with remaining trailer is one wheel is badly damaged and it seems to be a very old wheel BCD pattern thats not available, so I think I'll still be stuck with it. He has been told it needs to be all gone by March. He moved out in November.

Today's 72 plate truck has 557215 kilometres on the odometer and has taken me to Corby & Tamworth.
+5 outside the trailer -23 inside ❄️

I've just unblocked the kitchen sink.

I'd have told you about the blockage before I unblocked it, but that would have been too much tension for this thread.

But you generally only know a sink is blocked when it's blocked. Hard to predict.
Maybe a flie speed monitor and an App is something else that doesn't need inventing
The K-tel Sinkaroo, or DrainAway

Two and a bit hours of sheer bliss just me and my bike pottering around.
First cuppa brewing.
Grey/white sky with a bit of blue and no rain although damp underfoot.

Good morning from a fourth floor hotel room in grey and overcast Manchester.

Breakfast has been had and I've got 15 minutes rest before heading off to Victoria station for the train to Leeds to start the journey home. Good job I checked my tickets over breakfast as I'd have got on the wrong train at Leeds - for some reason I've booked myself on the one that leaves half an hour after my normal one.

First cuppa went down well.
Not enough shower gel to wash properly but I will survive

After an extended tour of loose teas, I've just settled back into the Tesco's Gold that I managed to find the other day, and it's going down well. Not quite as good as the M&S Gold but half the price.

Grey but breezy outside. Could be some drizzle to come.

Second cuppa went down well with a slice of toast and peanut butter.

Twix coffees a dry and largely sunny, if touch breezy at times, 2.9 mile Tesco and Co-op trek. Well timed as from the former I got the last pack of unsmoked mackerel fillets and the last box of freefrom apple pies.
Aldi price chicken breasts less 50p app voucher from thd Co-op.

Just waiting for the Leeds - Peterborough train to depart. The earlier confusion over booking the later train is explained by there being no earlier train! Reduced service due to work between Peterborough and Kings Cross.

I started the day by slipping down the stairs and badly grazing my arm.
The postman brought my wife’s birthday card, with an old stamp, cost me £2.50.
What will be the third thing ???

 

[biggs682]

A nice walk to pick up the papers and a couple of loose bananas.

Still dry but more cloudy.

SWMBO wanted to go to the Rhubarb Festival in Wakefield. Or rather wanted me to take her.

She came home with food and a non-Rhubarb dress.

I think that someone who has recently been arrested might decide that a holiday in Venezuela is a good idea.
