Bang on cue it's hissing down. No ride for me I've bailed out. 😭 I'm sick of this weather.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Good morning. What a horrible night last night. 
Morning all my fellow shirkers.
Yay...it's Fish Friday!
Just read that North Devon has come first in the country for AirBnB.
Apparently around 1 in 4 properties around here are let out to holiday makers! The next villages to me, Croyde and Georgeham, have a 23% letting rate.
No wonder the local youngsters cant afford to live there.

On the bright side, by 1800 hrs its only a 97% chance of rain
Piddling down here also. Very dark sky and quite windy.
Tidied up (why do I/we always leave it till next morning?).
Enjoying a coffee now.
Next job is to put a loaf in to bake. That will go with the BIG pan of leek & potato soup I made yesterday. With that in mind can we have a vote to ban @Dirk from this site on Fridays. Nice guy and all that but I am planning soup and he mentions fish n chips mmmmm that sounds so good

I had one that took me for £35K....
It hurts though doesn't it. You have to be philosophical about it, swallow it and carry on.

I'm going to have a bit of a technology day as some of our kit is dying. Mrs P has an iPhone 4 
and the family laptop** is almost steam driven. So anyone had good experience recently on:
Budget price smart phones
Budget price laptops
Password managers - I really need to improve our security in this area
* I use a very nice Windows 10 Surface Pro which I won in a competition three years ago. It's mine!! I know it sounds mean but the way Mrs P uses a computer drives me round the twist so to avoid divorce I have to keep this for me.

Can recommend the Motorola G6 Play.
Argos have a good price on the updated G7 model.

And a packet of Bull ****e from the left. Seems to be selling well.
