Got the panniers sorted on the Maxi, what do you reckon?

Might nip down to the harbour market this morning and then luncheon at the Star.

Not seen one of those in an age. I remember my friend having one when I was a kid.

Morning.
Wet and grey, hmmm. Weather resumed to normality then. Bring back the heat!

Trip to tip to dispose of various stuff from garage, plenty more in there to sort as well.

A lovely morning here in Andalusia 18°C when I set of at 7am to watch the sunrise over the Sierra de Los Filabres mountains, forecast to reach the mid 20's. One of the locals asked me if I was cold in my shorts and tee shirt, 18°C is a good summers day in my part of the world. It's lovely and clear up here but very hazy in the distance so not great for photos.

Morning. 7 degrees here. A dry and cool morning with rain expected mid to late afternoon.

My premium bonds app isn’t working at the moment for some reason. I’ll just have to go my walk without knowing if I’ve won £25.


It’s worked this time. All that anticipation for a big fat zero!

I think the Omaze people have problems with their system as well

they STILL haven’t contacted me to say when I can go and see the house in Cornwall
I must have won this months - I've been doing it for ages!!

You need to borrow some suitable attire from Accy.

I have never had a dog so my next comment is erhh slightly coloured.
On the Wirral there is a lovely walk alongside the river Dee (Ebiker will know it).
On one of our wet walks Sue and i called in there for a lunchtime drink. There were lots of doggy owners with thier wet doggies. It stunk, horrible.

If mine was wet then I generally went right home

I seldom took her to a pub or anything as she didn't like being near other dogs
and if she smelt it was generally of "something she had rolled in"

funny thing was that she never smelt of "wet dog" much at all
possibly because she spent a lot fo time outdoors and Alsatians (GSD in metric) develop and sort of waterproof outer coat so any rain just dropped off when she shook

it was always worth being well out of range when she did shake though
