All the animals and insects here in Hundred Acre Wood are friendly.

Somehow a bear and a bee got a bit too friendly and we now have the bumble bear.

Just tied up the peonies ready for the heavy rain forecast for Sunday. You can guarantee the rain will come just as they come into flower.

Mrs 73 is at a Alfie Boe concert (a Christmas present) she's just sent me pic of her seat. It's even better than I thought when I booked it. 4th row with a clear view.

Evening cuppa went down well with a couple of biscuits.
Fruit and veg plants have had a quick watering.
Hopefully they will get some evening rain over the weekend.
Our itinerary has just been added to for tomorrow so will see how much of it gets done

I wonder if Uncle Ernie will grace me with his presence tomorrow 🤔

I was a bit surprised that the draw happens on a Saturday. Does the Bank Holiday make it too long to delay?

That spy kit you got at Christmas put to its true use.

Troubling dinner interrupted by squishing ants on the kitchen floor. Consequently a visit to B&Q for some bait stations. One now located just inside the back door and one outside it.
Thence to Sainsbury's where unlike the last visit the hand scanners were working. Useful as depending on variety large Toblerones were £4.95 or £7 and the normal ones were without a price. £7 said the scanner so the purchase was cancelled and the bar returned to the shelf.
The use of having a landline arosr once home as my mobile was absent. Eventually found hiding partly under one of the runners of the cars front passenger seat.

No, mostly M stuff, which I have to reluctantly admit doesn't fit me nowadays.

I had a relaxing morning and then went for a fifty mile ride in the afternoon. It was very overcast towards the end but the rain held off.

Trying to book accommodation in the Hebrides is proving challenging. I thought it wouldn't be too busy yet.
