Good Morning - I'm up and about ..err ..I think that's all so far.

Have the best day possible.

Kick board adjusted and refitted, garage tidying started. Lovely sunny day here but with a cold wind unfortunately.

I think I might have to have one. I am getting serious withdrawals!

Overcast and showery here today.
Off for a doggie walk through the dunes and back along the beach next.
Walking down to the village for Sunday lunch later.

Dull and windy today. My wife mentioned going to B&Q to look at wallpapers this afternoon. I don't like the sound of that as I hate decorating and i think that's what she has on her mind. Yesterday, she was asking me if we have any white ceiling paint left . All the signs are there!

 

[Dirk]

Eee....it's a bit manky out there!
I'll take a brolly with me down to my local.

Terrific, just found out they are going to put a gipsy camp 250 meters away from my home
I've got garages security, but I hope I don't have to see if my insurance is any good

The people that pass these laws should be forced to live next to them.
Warrington has agreed to a new camp but have so far refused to reveal where. We live next to an open area which is on the list of possibles.

Apart from them getting the name of being light fingered, you may also get them turning up looking for casual work.....the usual cut your grass, hedges, etc. Lady next door to me got ripped off and stupidly gave one money up front and never got the job finished.

And...............the sun is out.

Sample papers brought home, now decision time on which one to get. Must not rush into it though.

I had an extended family of “ travellers “ in a cottage next to my workshop for a whole winter. Total nightmare. Anything not concreted in was stolen and anything concreted was vandalised. My boat which was next to the workshop for the winter had all moveable fittings stolen ie shackles etc tho’ they did leave the mast and rigging long enough for me to get it somewhere else. The door could be seen opening quietly from time to time as the juveniles crept in on hands and knees. “ Just having a look mister, wanted to see what was inside”. The cottage was owned by property developers who presumably wanted it left in such a state as to be only fit for demolishing. In the meantime probably we were all paying the rent indirectly.

And...............the sun is out.

And the rain is falling . A nice 20 mile ride and a couple of pints when we got back. We had sharp shower on the way out but got back before the rain started in earnest.
