I have water again. And the brown sludgy stuff looks better than it did. :laugh:

Always pays to look before you flush :okay:

Haven't had chips for ages and fancied some for a change.
I was thinking that I hadn't noticed any queues at Tod Chippy recently. I had a look at its window the other day and saw a notice saying that it has shut down due to 'unforeseen circumstances'. That's a pity - it used to do very good fish and chips at a very good price.

My pal just rang to postpone our weekly tea & tv night so I will be all on my loathsome again. :cry:

I should nip out and do my usual tour de Tod. There is a risk of thunderstorms later but it is nice at the moment.

Afternoon all . Safely home after a lovely holiday in deepest darkest north Devon . It was great to revisit places we hadn’t been to in 20 years .
My daughter and I managed to get though the week only having to bite our tongues a couple of times with my in laws/ her grandparents so all is good .
Of fact the only one of us to go off on one was mrs exlaser 😂😀 Which to be honest is power for the course so her parents are used to it . 😂😀😃

I went to South Stak near Holyhead today, in the hope of taking pictures of puffins but I only saw one and from the back, so I could only see his orange feet. Also , he was too far away for my 300 mm lens. it wasn't a wasted journey though as my daughter works in the Visitors Centre as a manageress so I spent a bit of time with her as well.
The puffins will migrating mid July apparently so no more chance for me. My daughter told me there are only a dozen of them at most.

A trip to meet Mrs Tenkaykev from the physio followed by a detour to Eight Arch Brewery. Quite a pleasant evening watching the rain on the Stour.

A good walk today as we followed part #2 of the Lancashire Witches Trail, 6.3 miles in total leaving +/- 38 to go. Interesting event today. My wife usually has OS maps running on her phone but for some reason this isn't currently working and our unofficial leader forgot his map but had some skimpy written directions. By chance and for no particular reason a few weeks ago I found a GPX of the entire walk and saved it on RWGPS. Opened the app and started to navigate and boy oh boy was it accurate. Amazing. Every time someone suggested we head in a particular direction within about 20 metres the app warned me we had headed off course and by how many feet and in which compass direction! Even my buddy who is the unofficial leader and very sceptical over technology was impressed!

It did hammer my phone battery. I usually get 30+ hours, using it today I was down to 16% after five hours just goes to prove how careful one has to be. I'm going to try my Wahoo next time and see what happens.
