Off for an ice cream after this.

I'm back from my cycle ride, 
but still got that stiff breeze slowing me down and making me work. Didn't get my hydration quite right today, I was slightly dehydrated when I got in, the pint of weak squash I drank when I first got in had me breaking out in a sweat, which is always a bad sign. While I was out my Good Lady had a fall and bruised her knee, I'm thankful that our neighbour looked after her till I got back.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I'm back from my cycle ride,
I hope your wife is OK.

Blimey Dave, hope Mrs Dave makes a speedy recovery. Glad to hear you have decent neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours, because good neighbours, become good friends...
My bit of 'light gardening' turned into a nearly 3 hours sweat-your-nads off fest.
Still, came in disgustingly sweaty and grubby, in what I like to consider to be a quite manly way. Cut my hair, or the remnants of it, with my clippers then had a bloody good scrub in't shower.
Going to make a warm smoked salmon salad with chargrilled peppers and stuff for our tea later, and crack open a nice bottle of white which is chillin' faster than a teenager with his friends in my nice new shiny fridge.

Tidied up the workshop a bit, had a slight rearrange. Planning to up my cycling mikes a bit so whichever bike im riding now has a space of its own away from the general bike storage.

Tired, 5 mile navigation exercise turned into a 7 mile walk in the humid evening air. Sweating in my socks have a nice blister on my right little toe. Doh.
Still, just kickstwrting my system with a Nespresso, then an early run, tidy up, and drive across the Milton Keynes to visit a chum.
There's a village Hoe Down this evening, so I'll toddle along to that. Not to square dance or any of that rubbish, but to see what beer they have for sale.

This is the answer if you're Val Doonican. His name just popped into my head when I read your post!

We've have had no water since yesterday when i had to it off after discovering a bad leak under the bath.I have a plumber coming round in about an hour and once it's fixed i'll be straight in the shower and then a nice cuppa.
Later on this afternoon i am going to hyde park in london for the british summertime concert with squeeze,richard ashcroft and roger waters.
Later on this afternoon i am going to hyde park in london for the british summertime
concert with squeeze,richard ashcroft and roger waters.Up and out in the garden this morning by 0630, watered my pots. Deadheaded my Marigolds and I'm trying to salvage three pots of grasses, which I unfortunately forgot about in the heat.
About 6 or 7 finches were twittering, flitting about and seem to be having a great time, what a pleasure to watch!
Out to the front to water three more pots. I had a mug of coffee in my hand, so I then puffed out my chest and surveyed my sweat-inducing handiwork of yesterday. Bugger, I've missed a bit.
Came in, put my 'lectric hedge trimmer battery on charge, and am now recharging myself with more coffee and toast. Bloody ace.
