Morning folks :okay: a bit overcast but there was a pleasant pinkish hue to the sky earlier. Have now got a sofa! ^_^ after parking my r's on my old dogs cushion for a week its nice to have a more elevated and comfortable perch ^_^
Had a look in the attic yesterday..always interesting, never know whats up there...a couple of golf umbrellas, some glasses, a dismantled pine bed [wood could come in handy for making a cloche or something] a big roll of carpet and a treasure chest full of gold doubloons.....:laugh:
I'd make sure that there isn't a body inside that rolled up carpet. Perhaps I've been reading too many crime novels...

Film Club at out house tonight and we have chosen The Power of The Dog......
That's 2 hours of my life I won't get back.
Got to be one of the most over hyped pile of poo ever, since Last Tango in Paris.

This morning I'm just catching up a bit of admin while I wait for the temperature to rise a little and then I'll get the bike out. I'm going to head over to the edges of the Ribble Valley taking in some good local climbs - Mellor Brook, Jeffrey Hill (using Gallows Lane, Huntingdon Hall Road @ColinJ - you may not know those two) before returning via Longridge and Ribchester to face the formidable Saccary Lane followed by Gregson Lane, Hillhouse Lane and Toplock.
Sounds good. I will check them on the map later once back from Exeter. I was up 'early' today because we are about to go to meet the rest of the family for breakfast before they head back to Coventry.

Another lovely chilly but sunny day here. I will do a loop round the local lanes this afternoon.

TV parts due to be delivered tomorrow afternoon, which would (hopefully!) allow me to fix the broken smart TV before I head back home.

Good morning folks,
A bit fragile this morning as popped in to the Butchers Dog in Wimborne to watch the rugby. We got there early to grab a decent seat and ended up watching both games and supping several pints of Heartbreak Stout. Weather is sunny so we're planning to walk round the bay into Poole and pick up the train tickets for our upcoming trip to Edinburgh.
Stay safe folks.

First to arrive 😉 It got really busy as most came for the England Wales game.

EDIT: There were a couple of lads at the next table and I overheard them saying that they were surprised that their mate hadn't turned up as arranged, he was usually so reliable. I mentioned to them that there was another Butchers Dog a few miles away, and that perhaps their friend was sitting there thinking the same thing. 🤔^_^

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
It's turned out to be a lovely day here as well. Blue skies and sunshine :sun:

I am back from my breakfast in Exeter. A very impressive pub building and grounds!

I will head out on the bike once the breakfast/brunch has settled in. I feel a bit too stuffed for cycling uphill at the moment...

It looks like I might have to catch the bus to Exeter when I go home later in the week. I haven't got a bus pass yet so I will have to pay. I wasn't going to bother getting one, but it would be very handy for future trips into Exeter when on my Devon visits so I think I WILL get one after all.
