Morning. Another day of showers I think. Nearly finished my coffee then I better have a walk before breakfast. My back is also still niggly. I thought stopping running for a while might have helped, but not so far.

I have risen!

Morning all, it has been pouring down all night with the rain battering on the windows.
Today is a trains and ale day. Travelling with a couple of the Escape committee to Eridge in Kent for the Spa Valley Railway Real Ale festival. So, Southern Railway willing we are on the 11.07 from London Bridge arriving at 1200. There are bars on the trains and the stations up and down the line, plus plenty of good food to had in between. 🍺🍺🍺🍺

Good morning - There has been heavy overnight rain but it's dry now and I'll be digging the allotment again. A ride over to see my brother later if the rain holds off.

Have a good day.

There is barely any morning left! Argh! I stayed up late to revel in the peace and solitude (catch up on much recorded TV) left in the wake of my guests finally departing. 5 weeks is a long time to be entertainments manager, tour guide and translator without pay.
Only one job beckons today, to rotivate a 400m2 wildflower and marigold strip that serves as pollinator attractor for the potager. A job I can easily do after a lazy lunch at a place in the valley. If I fall asleep after lunch I will still be rotivating (in my dreams anyway) as my very loud snoring will translate into the sound of a briggs and stratton engine with me tilling the land under an autumn sky.

Lazy day for me, might wash the car.

Lazy day for me, might wash the car.

That’s not lazy! I find car washing hard work.

 

[Drago]

I find car washing a relaxing, meditative experience. Mind you, my car is barely bigger than a Dinky toy so it doesn't take me much time.

 

[Dirk]

I'm in the pub.

Yesterday I performed that stunt so popular with retired gentle folk, yes, I fell off a ladder.
Never mind, things seemed better this morning but not better enough for me not to feel like pouring a generous measure of whisky into my mid-morning coffee, for purely medicinal reasons of course.
