Good morning from a dull and breezy Coventry.

I have heard that a baseball bat is far more effective than a burglar alarm, and cheaper as well

Could I go round to my neighbour's and attack his burglar alarm at 4.00am with a baseball bat?

Good morning from a gloriously sunny Poole. Blue bin day, social walking group and a trip to the dentist for Mrs Tenkaykev. I'll pop into the local plant Nursery and mooch the houseplants, see if there's a type that I can't kill🤔

Morning all

Multi tool fixed. It needed some new fuel pipe. My garden now resounds to the sound and smell of a screaming two stroke.......ah, takes me back to my racing days - especially as the fuel mix is using some race two stroke oil I found in the garage.
MrsD's having a haircut today. I did offer, but she turned me down.

Only if you know how to use one and are prepared for an aggressive burglar.

Good morning all.
I'm going swimming later this morning, then it will be haircut time as I have to cycle home past the barbers.
Exciting eh?

A hairdressing attachment for your multi tool would save a fortune 🤔

Morning all . It’s volunteering day , so I must drag my sorry carcass out of bed in a minute. I always seem to be running late when I go which is strange as when I was working I was always there early. It’s doubly strange as I like volunteering and I hated work. 😀

Going to be spending today re roofing the garage. Tudor off, G-Shock on, and out I'll go with my hammer.

Trouble is if your hit the Scrote who is trying too break in causing them injury you may find yourself
On a charge of using excessive force.

Nearly as exciting as me. I have chia seeds in my porridge this morning!

That reminds me of Fausto Coppi: "Age and treachery will overcome youth and skill."

I have this emblazoned on my morning coffee mug.

Well. Hello. How are we all today. Started off cold and miserable but now bright, sunny and warm........weather's great as well.

Small person is here but doesn't want to go swimming. She is colouring with Nana. This is a blow as my sneaky mid-morning nap is under threat. I have gone upstairs "to put the washing away." 🤔

It's a 36 mile rush hour round trip to collect the small one. Nackering. On the way home I contemplated modern car indicators. Who considered these silly little things should be legal? They're genuinely difficult to see. One guy pulled right in front of me apparently without indicating till I realised it was too small to see. Bonkers. Makes me cross.

I will now put the washing away. 😇😇😇
