Glad I just sleep with a cat 🐱


I am up early but the forecast isn’t great. Another overcast and showery day and still with the brisk easterly wind that’s making it feel decidedly wintery.

Similar story here. Been awake since 4 (again ) so crawled out of bed at 6.
Raining but not as cold as yesterday.
Another chill sports day for me.
Have a good day everyone.....I was tempted to put y'all but refrained.

Good morning all.
It's a grey, rainy start to the day here.
Today is the day I become a bonafide pensioner. 😁
MrsP is treating me to lunch at The Green Dragon pub .

Excellent day out at the auto jumble yesterday. Managed to find a few things worth buying and bumped into a couple of old mates from oop North.
MrsD had a good girlie day out in Wells with her chums.
Having Sunday lunch at home today as the pubs will be full of screaming kids due to it being Mother's Day.

Morning all from a wet Coventry . Just checked the med office, rain forecast all day.

I have a funny feeling that i might not enjoy sailing quite as much as normal today . 😂😀

I have risen!

Moist here.

A year ago today we moved from North Devon to Somerset.

Morning all

seem to have been missing for a few days - yesterday was due to grand-kids being here overnight - little one was winging at 4 a.m. but didn;t seem to be awake
one of those put him back in the middle of the bed and he seems OK - sneak out then he starts up again just as you start nodding off
snoring coming from the other side of the bed as usual!!
(to be fair - she would wake up - it is just that I wake sooner and am out of bed before she realises - or so she says!!!)

anyway took them to B&M yesterday to buy surprise Mother's Day presents for their Mum as their Dad was
a) working potentially long hours to pay for forthcoming wedding nexyt year
and
b) just planning on lobbing a bunch of flower in her direction

he has not yet realised that I have rlifted the bar and he will have to get presents for the 3 of them to give her for the rest of eternity!!!

anyway - today has started well

just caught my arm on something while carrying my favourite mug and broken it

once I finish a coffee in a different mug I need to get a little robot working for teh grand-daughter to "program" for her Science project
not even sure it the thing still works I shouldn;t volunteer these things - I can see it being a lot of work!!!

Pancakes for breakfast with: peanut butter/ lemon curd / honey / maple syrup. Each pancake had to be divided into eights. I think I spoil my granddaughter 🤔
