Chin up matey.
This time next year you'll be as smug as the rest of us.

I am not smug.
Much
Well maybe a bit
OK.....I am REALLY smug

G'day playmates, today I have been out whale watching off the coast of Western Australia. We found these, a female humpback whale and her calf heading back on migration to the Antarctic.

Not so good - acute subacromial tendonitis. Tabs, tabs, glorious tabs for now, but injections just around the corner. Yippee.

Old git!

It stopped raining so I did get a quick walk it 3.4 miles

From what I can gather, the Moto G6 range was redesigned and relaunched this year following the earlier takeover by Lenovo. Apparently (from what I've read) the new Moto G range are far better than earlier versions. I'm presuming they will have sorted out any known glitches. They get extremely good reviews. Time will tell, I suppose.

After much research, reading reviews, looking at different phones in shops and got a Moto G6 Play about 4 months ago.

My only reservation at the time was physical size but I've quickly got used to that. The camera is a bit slow on occasion but I expected this from the reviews.

It's a brilliant phone, superb value and easily matches up to the reviews. Battery life is tremendous, on average use I get 40-45 hours. On light use up to 72 hours. Charging is very fast.

It's wet. Windy. Raining. I can hear the trees blowing around. I've just chucked another log in the woodburner. I have a glass of wine. All is good.

Mrs P went to play tennis. Given the choice.........

Dogs find you?

 

[Drago]

Ni dogs last night, although it was blummen raining cats and dogs.

Some chump of a farmer threatened to call the police because we had the temerity to be alwkilg along a public footpath. I offered him my phone to make the call, which rather took the wind from his sails. Being rude and threatening to a group of 5 rather large male strangers isn't a good policy for a long and healthy life - it's just luck for him that were were all upstanding citizens interested in nothing more than exercising our rights to pass and repass.

Morning folks. Windy and rainy here last nightl seems a bit calm.....for now.

 

[Drago]

And angry rude farmer man duly reported to both Warwickshire police and Warwickshire county council.

Clear blue sky and a gentle breeze. Woodburner lit in case Mrs P appears and starts ferreting about in the boiler cupboard.

I have a dilemma. On Tuesday I noticed someone has cut down a substantial tree in the village. The logs remain insitu. Now trees which fall naturally are fair game.............

This is also a conservation area and planning permission, which I know wasn't obtained, is required before felling. The people who did it don't live here.

 

[Drago]

Right, I'm gonna tidy up, clean and dry out my search kit, and clean the car. Toodlepip.

I would report it especially as the culprits don't even live there.
