Should get the washing on the line today.
My veggies are flourishing in this more moist weather.

I am also on porridge.
Problem is there is nothing to put on it so it's very bland, I don't fancy putting sugar on.

We have kingfishers on the canal and quite often see. They're territorial and will move from one favoured spot to another. If you see the flash of blue often looking ahead on the same side of the canal and one can see the little chap on his next favourite tree branch. There are some spots where one can often spot one if approached very quietly.
A few years back we had a Belted Kingfisher as a rare visitor from the States. He spent most of his time between Brockholes and our stretch of the Leeds Liverpool canal. We would see him quite often. Twitchers came from all over the country. We would walk along the canal, spot men with oversize camera lenses walking and could nonchalantly ask "You're looking for the kingfisher?" "Oh, he was down by bridge 88 yesterday"
I don't add sugar or syrup to porridge (or cereals, either) A bit bland, possibly, but I don't mind.. 👍

Good morning. Sunny and breezy. That will do and hopefully will dry up the overnight rain as I have grass to cut and allotment work to do - everything is growing so fast now we've had a few days rain. We have a new electric mower. The instructions are quite clear it should not be used on wet grass, I'm not keen on testing that out.
So we had #1SP and her sister #3SP yesterday. 4½ years and 6 months respectively. When I got home I handed #3SP to Mrs P and muttered "I've forgotten what to do?" Anyway all went well but we were exhausted. I felt very honoured #3 chose me for her two naps. Comfy Granddad. Not much on today. I'll try to get household admin done while waiting for outside to dry up. Some tidying and dusting perhaps to clear the way for a quick hoover round etc. tomorrow.

I have porridge every morning, summer or winter. Perfect fuel especially for a cyclist.
Made with milk and a banana, nuts and honey added.
Yum!
Honey occasionally, though I do have a spoonful of local honey with my multivit & 3,6&9.
I don't do nuts as I don't react very well with them, especially Cashew nuts. My body rejects them violently 🤮
As it's an electric mower that's probably to do with risk of electric shock but it's not a good idea to cut grass wet anyway.
Same here though, the recent rain has turbo charged growth and everything going nuts in the garden. I did the grass on weekend but it's hedges I'm doing now which is a job and a half. This time of year it's a Forth Bridge job, soon as finished have to start again!

You really should put that furry costume away - you are a responsible and respected Parish Counsellor now
and should put these childish hobbies aside
Honestly!

Morning. Hill walk done and just sat down, also with porridge. Nothing in mine today either, although the oat milk gives it a slight sweetness.
