Good morning folks,
It's overcast and feeling fresh at the moment. Rain is set at 40% about now, but it doesn't look like it's happening. A trip to collect granddaughter from school at lunchtime, that's the end of her introductory year and she'll be starting in Year One in September.
Have a peaceful day folks.
☕️👍

I am out of touch now. Does year one mean she will be 5 years old ?

Yes, She'll be 5 next month. Having been born in August she was the youngest in her year. It's surprising how quickly children learn, I think you notice more as a grandparent, as a parent everything's new, you're probably working full time and there's a lot more going on in your life.
We got some magnetic letters to help with her spelling, I was really proud when she came up with this little gem, that's my girl! 😁

Barnet,
Good morning all.
A nice cooling breeze is coming through the house, but the building is still very warm. Last night I had a shower before retiring, and the towel rail in the bathroom was warm, as if the central heating had been turned on. The basin and cupboards were all warm, intact everything was warm. Even on cold, the shower was warm.
We some rain forecast for later, but it is now much cooler.

Morning all :hello:

Big adventure this morning.
We're off to Barnstaple on the Bus!
Haven't been on a bus for years but we decided that today is the day that we pop the cherry on our bus passes. Should be an interesting experience. I've even downloaded the Stagecoach app, so I can track the services.

My advice is to dash upstairs (ignore MrsD) and grab the front seat**. Then you can pretend to drive it all the way.
**if some old lady is already on it.....just chuck her off ^_^

Another ticket failure. Only platinum packages available today starting at £375 - executive boxes etc. The real scramble starts tomorrow.

Lots crossed off my list already.

I think we are very privileged to have this beautiful creature visit our gardens even if she does have a taste for flowers. She usually arrives around 7.30. Quite tame and provided one is quiet and slow of movement will look at you for a while and then carry on. She only bolts at noise or sudden movement.

On my way round my walk this morning I could just see the head and ears of one in a barley field. No camera though.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
