Good morning, up at 3:30 as I couldn’t settle, read a bit and dozed off on the sofa. Today is “ “ Cycle to Work day “ according to an email from Brompton. At first I was bereft, as being a retiree I’m denied the opportunity to take part. I have however, come up with another of my cunning plans. I plan to cycle to the pub later, and work my way through a few pints! 🍺🍺🍺
Meanwhile, time for coffee ☕️
Have a peaceful day folks 😎☀️👍

:hello: Good morning folks, carer here at a more reasonable time, I had a better night last night and had a decent nights sleep, I've got some patches that shouldn't work and don't work for some people but they stop my back and hip complaining during the night and help me sleep, my Good Lady has a blood test later then its lunch and down the club for the afternoon.

Good morning all.
It's very muggy down here, with wispy clouds in the sky.
I went to have a shower, and found this in the bath.

Its legs are about 4 inches across, and the body is the size of a jelly bean.
I trapped it and released it in the garden.:ohmy:
All the usual stuff to do today. :cuppa:

Morning all :hello:

Sunny here today. :sun:
Not a lot going on apart from endless hours trawling Right Move, Zoopla, On the Market etc.
Sent my niece a cheque for £4000 yesterday as a bequest from my step mother's Will. That finalises the execution of her Will, all done and dusted. :okay:

It's a House Spider and you've almost certainly sentenced it to death by putting it outside - a nice tasty morsel for a passing bird.

Having just looked the spider up, it would appear to be a male False Widow spider.

OK. I have to ask. Leeds is some distance from Lancashire so why travel to Leeds. Yesterday was Wednesday, I think, so the Lancashire tip was open?

I know I skipped a visit yesterday so I'm fairly confused anyway. :laugh:

We went over Sunday teatime and did diy Monday morning early start fences and four hours weeding block driveway.Mrs P Cleaned the house,and took fil to a disability shop for a new bathchair, Tuesday I cleaned the toilet and bathroom,lunchtime it was Poulton le Fylde for fish and chips ,then we came home late afternoon Tuesday.bringing fences and other household crap.And this happens once a month and has done for the past nine years,and a few more years to come I think.Another sister goes inbetween us but does not do diy or gardening she cannot do that and the housework.Barton Grange is also a place we take the fil.They do a decent pie in the farm shop,and the cafe is not bad.Not sure about the fancy place The Willows,I think.
