Good morning folks,
Daughter’s birthday today, we’ll be heading over to pick granddaughter up from school and go for a meal at one of the child friendly restaurant’s locally. It’s a tad blowy this morning, organised walk to do in an hour or so.
Have a peaceful day folks ☕️👍

Good morning all,
It's just started to rain heavily. A wet dog walk it will be. Although I have been awake since 7am, I thought I could get away with a late walk with the mutt.
Egg and bacon sandwiches for breakfast,
.
I have bought some Seville oranges, so this afternoon will be marmalade making time.
Pop master on the radio shortly.
Enjoy your day everyone

Congratulations @dave r best wishes all round! 
@PaulSB I'm with you on not driving in the dark, it's those ultra bright headlights. I'm sure they'll damage your eyesight in years to come.
Pouring down here at the moment and Mrs GM has just gone out for a walk with her friend,
I suspect it'll be straight to the coffee shop.

Morning all . Was up and dressed for 8 am as it’s my day for volunteering for Warwickshire wildlife trust. Only to get a WhatsApp message to say it’s cancelled. Tbh I was rather glad as it’s poring down with rain .
Re driving at night . I don’t mind driving at night yet , but I have noticed at my age ( 59 ) I just don’t see quite as well as a did a decade ago . And both dad and my father in law ( who were/are driving in their 70s/80s ) limited their night driving to build up areas for this very reason.

Bonjour. No rain this afternoon so I was going to go for a ride but I feel lethargic today and fear that I would struggle more than usual on any inclines so I chickened out. I know I should apply the mind over matter rule to get me out but can't really be bothered so that's that.
I will probably regret it later on as the weather doesn't look good for the rest of the week.
I had a nice walk with Molly earlier on and will have another one at about 5 pm so at least, exercise will be done for today.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
It has stopped raining and the wind has died down as well.

Yes after 10 a.m. we have had quite a dry day, have laid the bottom course of my dwarf wall around the hydrangea in the middle of the lawn. Grass was very wet underfoot but needed to get on with it.

Waiting at the School gates this afternoon and two ladies arrived, one on a brommie. They leaned the bikes against a post and wandered off up the road to the older juniors entrance. They never bothered to lock either bike although I noticed a D lock hanging over the handlebars. When they reappeared I asked how old the bike was and evidently it's over 20 years old and seems to be suffering from benign neglect as well as being a sort of loan bike among the local Sustrans group.
