Good morning from a bright cloudy Dorset. There's an organised bike ride / skate / scooter in Bournemouth today, only six miles but it's a family friendly event with DJ systems and other entertainment along the way. Starting at AFC Bournemouth football ground and heading out to Southbourne before heading back along the overcliff ( no cycling allowed on the prom after 10:00am ) I expect the Beryl Bikes to be out in force, Looking at the Beryl app I see E scooters, Electric and non electric bikes and also Cargo bikes which I've not seen "" in the flesh " yet.

Not much planned today. Would have taken Mrs D out in the C70 but shes still a bit wobbly after Friday's fall. I wonder if this is a precursor to a spell innthe wheelchair? That'd mean less time in here for me as she relies on my more during those periods, and id ferry her to and from work. Fingers crossed some R&R restores normal service.

I've found a new avatar for Pete. The resemblance is uncanny.

I have this problem where offtimes the devil takes over my mouth.
Yesterday we were in the pet shop getting a birthday present for Geddy (hes 1 tomorrow) when Mrs D struck up a conversation with the lass on the counter.
Mrs D was saying how her sister has a labrador, a lovely big lad called Dobby (the dog, not her sister). Hes much sought after for guide dog charities around the world, and she was saying how skme of his trousers gravy was recently sent to Japan.
At that point the devil took control of my mouth and he said, "its probably considered a delicacy over there."
Cue one young lass on the till struggling not to encourage me by laughing out loud.

Morning Papa Dirkie.
It has been decided that we are going up to Tring reservoirs and that part of The Grand Union canal.
There is a lovely cafe , funnily enough called the Waterside, where we can get a good brunch.
Millie can't walk too far now so we can sit there and watch the boats and the world go by.

Morning
Breakfats soon - need to wait after monring tablets
then better start looking at the pagoda/zepplin hanger and see it I can get some of the last panels in
might be easier if they fitted properly - but yesterday we managed to "persuade" then in
DIY assembly products really need to think more carefully about how "some bloke in a garden" will manage on an uneven surface and wil zero previous knowledge about how it goes together!
Anyway - nearly there

Morning.
Another dry, sunny and warm day. Getting much hotter this week and no rain. Given the amount of rain we get over the autumn and winter it's an odd feeling thinking it might be a good idea for some downpours! I'm concerned for wildlife, the animals must be struggling.
Not sure on plans today, pretty tired after yesterdays ride so an lazy day on the cards.

Back from my walk. 3.5 pleasant miles done. I added a loop which goes down one so called Lane** and back via another.
**when Sue was little it was all farm land but its all houses now. However early Sunday morning there was very little traffic and zero pedestrians.... see photo.
The remainder was through the country park and quiet lanes.
It was eerie with absolutely no one around.
Right, nana and yogurt is calling.
