Liquid lunch here I quite enjoy walking the dog half cut.

But does the dog like you walking him when you are?

Half mile from home on my ride and what’s that in the field? Alpacas! Apparently they’ve been here six years. No one I know has ever mentioned it!!!

Morning all, overcast here today. Housework and shopping today, boring but it's got to be done

 

[screenman]

Overcast here as well, thunderstorms are predicted. Not sure what today will bring after my swim.

Good morning. Not bad here at the moment, but we might have rain later on today.

Overcast and cooler this morning. Last night’s rain has done nothing more than darken the soil surface, hardly penetrated. The highest chance we have forecast for rain over the next two weeks is 17% - my waterbutts are dry and we are currently carrying buckets to the allotment from the well.

Two buckets by the front door, every time we go out take a full one up!

As for today? Not sure what I’m going to do. Taking No.3 son’s car to the local garage and walking home shortly - by then it will be 8.30!

No internet at the moment as we are mid changeover from BT to Plusnet. Hopefully be up and running later.
Out for a ride this morning to waste the time.

Taking 3 of my grandchildren to Greenwoods ( a playground park) near Caernarfon today. They should sleep well tonight.

 

[PaulSB]

@gavroche and most likely you will as well.......

Tummy feels a little dodgy today. Run cancelled, and hoping the runs don't make an appearance in their place.

Decided to go for a productive day:

• Prepare list of stuff to do
• Have more coffee
• Buy new cycling glasses - lost two pairs in a week
• Prepare Admin stuff for next week’s hill climb
• Go yellow sticker hunting
• Collect library books
• Prepare early tea for the tennis players in our house
• Make PPI claim - you never know
• Collect logs offered by neighbour
• Fantasise about tomorrow’s premium bond win

Some of this can be multi tasked

Fantasise about tomorrow’s premium bond win

What you want {or should I say what I want) is Agent Million knocking on the door today.

Going through pre-retirement bulls**t in the office today. A process designed to make you realise why you can't stand another minute with the company. Should really stay here on partial retirement terms until kids have finished uni next year but I'll be lucky to make it to the end of this year the way things are going.
