I have no idea but thought squash was more popular than badminton ??
Possibly, but the venues for Badminton have a lot more seating and viewing points than squash courts, so there are more bums on seats and therefore more ticket sales.

No!
Or at least don't let anyone catch you filling your butt with the hosepipe.

Hello, it's me. Was a bit pushed for time this morning. Slept solidly for seven hours last night, felt great when I woke and still do. It's a lovely day here.
Set off on a gravel ride which had to be converted to a road ride. I have a big hole in my front tyre. Once fixed I didn't fancy risking a failure in the middle of a field in the middle of nowhere.
Fixed the hole with a plug but it was an effort. The hole was bigger than my plug but not big enough to take two. Eventually got one plug to seat in the hole and then softened the tail which sticks out of the tyre by rubbing between finger and thumb. Once softened I could push it in to fill the rest of the hole. Two gas cannisters to get it seated and inflated.
Off to Aldi and my LBS. Vegetables and a tyre needed.

A 12K walk to Wimborne via the Stour. The river is very slow moving and there’s a lot of algae where it slows further as it approaches a weir.
Purchased 500g of unsulphured apricots from “ Spill the Beans “ 😎
My friend Pete phoned to tell me ha has atrial fibulation, he’s going for a scan and then treatment in a couple of months. Interestingly his consultant asked him to send in regular HR graphs from his Apple watch so he can keep an eye on any developments🤔
He also told me he hadn’t been able to run for a couple of weeks, nothing to do with his heart condition, he’d got hold of some large garden tiles and wanted to make sure that they'd be safe when wet. He put a couple of them down on a patch of grass and poured water on them, he walked back and forth across the tiles a few times and all was well. He then managed to catch his toe on the edge of one of them and tripped and fell hurting his hip. He told me he grabbed hold of the water butt to save himself but it came off its base and discharged it’s contents all over him as he was lying on the ground. It’s wicked to laugh, but I couldn’t help myself 😂😂

Man arrested after police find suspected drugs in parked BMW
https://arytvnews.com/police-arrested-a-man-after-finding-suspected-drugs-in-a-parked-bmw-atn-news/This is my road, a while back maybe in March I saw a black BMW in my road with a guy just sat in it and was still there an hour later which I thought was a bit odd, maybe I should tell the police.
update – told the police they didn't seem very interested

They don’t seem interested in very much these days
Just watching the news about the lack of NHS dentists available and these poor people with rotten teeth and DIY jobs to fix them, etc. We really are turning into a 3rd world country!

*Seems to be getting more like that every day. Then they wonder when they ask for help, people don't bother.

@PaulSB, the recent warmer weather may be responsible for fewer bees.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I see that Olivia Newton John has passed away aged 73.

From my Facebook page tonight, lol!
A teenage granddaughter comes downstairs for her date with this see-through blouse on and no bra. Her grandmother just pitched a fit, telling her not to dare go out like that!
The teenager tells her "Loosen up Grams. These are modern times. You gotta let your rosebuds show!" and out she goes.
The next day the teenager comes downstairs, and the grandmother is sitting there with no top on. The teenager wants to die. She explains to her grandmother that she has friends coming over and that it is just not appropriate...
The grandmother says, "Loosen up, Sweetie. If you can show off your rosebuds, then I can display my hanging baskets."
