Good morning all.
It looks damp outside after overnight rain, even the dog had to be persuaded to go out for a wee.
The plumber should be coming this morning to sort out the cistern on the downstairs toilet. The cyphon seems to of given up, you have to pump the handle a few times to get it to flush.
Other than that, all the normal stuff to do today. Hopefully I can get out on the bike later.
Enjoy your day everyone

Morning all

Out early for shopping in Barnstaple, then back by 10.30 to watch todays proceedings in the Isle of Man. The Sidecar race starts at 13.10 and has been cut back to 2 laps. Hoping for a good, safe, day's racing. Good luck to all the riders. Wish I was there.

Morning again. I think our nice spell we have had up here might be coming to an end. The early brightness disappeared and a fair bit of low cloud and mist has come over now making it feel chilly. 7.2 mile brisk walk done which was most enjoyable. Listening to a cuckoo and then got followed by some daft, young stirks running along the field beside me which then set off the Highland pony in the next field too.

Soon be time for my porridge and a big mug of Barleycup. Still off the caffeine.

Did you ever race solo Dirk ?
Where you on the bike or the sidecar (equally important imo)

Had 2 foxes in the garden over the last few days.
I have no problem with them......so long as they don't crap on the grass.

A virgin is coming round today I mean virgin media are coming to replace my cables for new fibre ones, I've had to move everything away from the inlet where the cable comes in from outside so the place is a bit upside down at the moment.
