Good morning all.
Another bright start to the day here but it is quite cool 7⁰ but due to cloud over later on.
Sainsbury's are delivering the weekly goodies this morning then I'll be out with the dog for a while, then, out on the bike for a bit.
Our Daughter is calling in after work to borrow a sander, she has bought some kitchen chairs from faceache market place and stripped the varnish from them, now needs to sand them down before staining them. No doubt she will want tea.

Good morning from a sunny but chilly Dorset. Walking group this morning but no veg box delivery as we are away for a long weekend in Edinburgh. The insulation is still in rolls in the loft and the fitting can wait until we're back.
Wandered around Aldi yesterday and among the Christmas stuff I spotted this:

Good morning. Isn't it dark. No idea what the weather is doing - black outside. Busy day ahead as shortly I will be off to collect #3SP for the day, return her home about 4.00 and then off to Manchester to collect #2SP from nursery, home, feed, change etc. as both parents are working late.

Top granddading!

Right, off I go. I want to get the ironing done and my stretches complete before I leave. I bought a new summer jersey yesterday. Couldn't resist it.......this is so not me! Love it.

Morning all

Another nice day in prospect.
Shall have a wander around Quantock Plain and see if we can spy any snakes and lizards this morning.

Mrs D is home today so is relieving me of ironing duties.

Awaiting a delivery AM, a new office chair and some equipment for my degree course. Because I get IIDB for my nacked right arm the student loan company are throwing free gear at me.

And not having a job I'll never pay a penny of the tuition fees back!

I'm riding towards MK for my annual HGV medical today 🚚

I hope your not web surfing while riding Pete, you reckless maniac!

Mind you, thats a prerequisite for truckers these days so carry on.

Morning.
Beautiful day again.
Feeling pretty tired but too nice not to ride and at least this time I'll be able to clip in.
Coffee and breakfast first though.
