Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
We have just had a dragon fly in the garden. Some time since we have seen one.



We have loads of dragon flies up at the pond. Especially blue ones.

Poor night's sleep - up 5 times to pee. My latest kidney stent is thicker and more rigid than the previous one and is playing havoc with my bladder with me needing to pee at least once an hour whilst I am awake and slightly longer overnight. Plus I am bleeding again and have at least another 6 weeks before it is removed.

So today I feel lethargic, I had a 10.4 mile low-level walk loaded up and tba I cba.

I usually try to do 1 x 10ish and 2 x 5ish walks a week as I try and rebuild my mountain hiking fitness.

Big week next week - on the 9th I will have liability insurance for cycling (comes as part of new household insurance package) and I can get riding again after a very long illness driven lay-off.

Windy and damp here.

Wordle got boring and is a dim and distant memory for me although Mrs SD still does it.

You are now fully updated. 😊

We used to get them when we had a pond. Not "loads" but regular

Bonjour.
Supposedly busy today.
First, waiting for a phone call from daughter as she wants me to go with her to collect her new second hand car. She is waiting for the dealer to call her as car was having a new MOT yesterday and service. ( Dacia Sanderro )
A bike ride with hills as part of my training for C2C at end of the month and Tour de Mon the week end before.
I need to drag the old mattress up the drive and by the gate for collection tomorrow morning.
My son's dogs have to be let out at lunch time.
All not necessarely in that order.
Nice and sunny but a bit windy. ( 15 mph winds ).

One of the female pheasants had 2 chick's, then she lost 1 and just now a blooming crow swooped down and took the last one. The idiot next door keeps feeding the prey as well as the predators so of course he encourages the predators who in turn eat everything else. He is an idiot. Either feed the predators or the prey not both. :cursing:
