They may have water shortages in other parts of the world but certainly not in Wales. We have plenty of the stuff.

Indeed. In fact we have more than our fair share

Morning all

Good day had at yesterday's beer festival. There were some very odd brews available
Off out this morning to the tip, then on for a walk somewhere before lunch at the Railway Inn.

Morning all from a overcast Coventry, still the forecast is looking a lot better than yesterday which is something at least😀.
Which is good as we will be at the sailing club all day, racing in the morning and then training in the afternoon. We have had 8 new member in the last six months which is unheard for us ( young people as well, ok well under 30 years old 😀) .
And we are doing are best to support them though the first six months or so because we often have new members, but the problem has always been retention .
Anyway fingers crossed we miss the showers and stay dry and I hope everything has a good day .

Sometimes it appears that half the world is drowning while the other half is on fire.

Yes. It does seem that way

Good day. It's raining. It has rained all night. It is forecast to rain till 3.00am tomorrow.

Hmmmm, what shall I do today? Something indoors? Good plan. It's going to be a household admin day. We need new Building and Contents for one thing and I'm sure there's other stuff I should be on with......

Did I mention it's raining, all night, all day and till 3 00am? Biblical.

Sorry to rub it in but it's dry and bright up here again There is a rather cool wind though, but I found it perfect for my morning walk. 7 miles including a bit of a hill and never met anybody else. Just how I like it.

I see there's athletics on telly this afternoon so I might watch that rather than go back out when it's busier than I like.

Think I'll clean the cars once I've finished the housework.

Good morning from a sunny Dordogne.
Breakfast had been eaten and we are just waiting for the taxi to take us to the airport for the flight home.
Life in the fast lane or what.😁

So much division in the world. Sometimes on my early wanders I think about stuff. I'm walking along in a beautiful area, feeling totally safe and knowing that I will be returning to a comfortable home with food in the cupboards and fresh water from a tap and elsewhere there are millions living in tin shacks or tents, barely any food, probably walking miles for some stinking water and others who are wondering if a bomb is going to land on them any second. We really should be so grateful for what we've got shouldn't we.
