Good morning. I'm back. Closed! Can you imagine it? Waitrose is closed. I mean. Something about a bug that's going round. Someone had put up a little sign that said ........."sorry the avocado toast didn't arrive."
Beautiful morning here in Lancashire. Bike ride is the first priority. A couple of lads back from Mallorca say they want a gentle warm down spin.......we shall see, we shall see.
After that who knows. I need to think about MOTs on both cars. I'll probably pop to the local garage to book the MOT and ask him to take a quick look at my tyres. ☹

I am having porridge this morning for a change. I can hear it gently bubbling away. Haven't even been out the door to put the bin out as the rain is still rattling down.

I have seriously had enough of this. It's getting me down big time. I'm where the red dot is 
A belated good morning,
Probably not a good idea to say yes to the offer of one last Pint before getting the bus home last night🍺 I'm feeling a bit "vague"
I'm off to a meeting at a local hotel shortly. It specialises in holidays for people with cancer and other similar conditions so it will be interesting to see what extra precautions they might have put in place.
Going to be raising a glass to a wonderful chap who was chair of our support group but sadly passed away recently.
The sun is shining 🌞 no rain forecast and the Library has just informed me that the book I ordered is available for collection 😊

I got up about 0530 this morning for a loo visit and looking out my from window I could see lights in the bay. From the configuration this was a vessel engaged in fishing scraping the sea bed inside the bay in the dark hoping not too many would notice. At 0730 got up and the same vessel probably is dredging just outside the bay. I see this every few weeks.Cannot imagine how there is anything left to catch and in any case from my diving days I know that area is fine silt with nothing else we ever saw. Their days are probably nearly over anyway if the fishing negotiations and tariffs go as predicted.
It does remind me that we were asked to do an underwater search in that area by an idiot who wrecked a chartered yacht and wanted us to look for a box containing valuable antique books [Yes really] he had lost overboard. We reckoned if we did find the box we would move it to an easily found area and come back later for a look at the "antique books" before admitting to a find. We never did find it.
Off now to get my ears syringed.
