Swim, few dents, 60 mile drive to knock some clays out of the sky, 60 mile drive back to make some more sawdust. Lovely full day.

You know it's autumn when you pop to the bathroom for a fairly urgent pee.........but first have to return to the kitchen for a glass and piece of paper to catch the giant house spider sitting on the wall by the loo.

Shivers. I hate those things and take no chances..........

Good morning people, another bright and chilly autumn morning, I've got a line of washing out. Yesterday I got the painting done, today I've got to size the walls and get the papering started.

Hello world. A bright and beautiful morning here. Today we are walking in the Settle and Malham area. Time to pack the picnic and get my boots on.

Gonna clean the Smart car and cut the grass.

Gonna clean the Smart car and cut the grass.

Cleaning your car should take you about 4 minutes.

It doesn't take long at all, hence it's always shiny!

Does it feel odd driving half a car?

I'm really digging it. The running costs are miniscule, it's a hoot to drive, parking anywhere is laughably easy, and it helps to salve my developing eco conscience. It's quite a low miles, only 40,000, so my plan is to run it for a couple of years and then get an electric Smart, an early 453 model.

Morning all, a bright ish start to the day here. I have the washing on and the breakfast cooking. After the dog has been out I shall be out on the bike for a few miles then the local hostelry might feature for a lunchtime pint or three.

Off to Launceston this morning for a spot of shopping and a mooch around the castle.

A load of washing has been done and is on the line. I have my cycling gear on and am just working up the enthusiasm to get out even for just a short bimble.
