Morning. Another wet start but supposed to brighten up later.
Just going to do the 4 mile riverside wander When daylight appears.
Start of another month. Time is flying by far too fast!

I have risen!
Half term is over so Mrs and Mini D are back at school and my routine can return to normal. Ahhhh.
I see my tornado has made the national news this morning.

Has Bruce had all his jags now? Be able to walk him to school or is it too far? Is it only 5 minutes per month of age until they are a year old or something like that?

I saw that and wondered if it was your tornado.

Good day. It's dark, the wind is howling and the rain like machine gunfire on the windows. Another indoor day I suspect! A week since I had any proper exercise, I need to sort this out. My morning stretch routine has gone out of the window. I WILL fix this.
A good friend took delivery of her new Dolan on Friday. She's taken today off work and invited me on the inaugural ride. Sadly this is postponed. I've promised to pop round this afternoon and help with final set up and supply grease for the pedal spindles.
In other news my best friend sent me a long, long message yesterday. She's not good at this so I was both surprised and very happy to get it. We're meeting for lunch in a month or so. Covid and a few other bits mean it's almost two years since we did what used to be a normal regular event.

Good morning all fellow retirees.
Still a bit breezy outside, but it looks like it will be a dry, bright day.
The usual stuff to do, dog walks, domestics and I will get a bimble in later. Also, I have to pick up my meager winnings from a bet I put on for the weekend. ----
Barnet to win, England to beat Australia in the T20 cricket, and the third bet was for Spurs to win, but that went badly wrong.
I rarely place bets, but at the escape committee meeting on friday I was kind of talked into it, but I may just about get my money back.
Enjoy your day everyone

We had one door knocker but ignored it. I will look for smashed eggs later.Morning all
No trick or treaters here last night. We haven't had any since we've lived here (16 years) probably because there's very few kids around here and the average age of my neighbours is around 80.
Morning all.
Bed early and slept heavy.
Got up for a pee/wee wee//widdle......i thought the analogue clock said 03.30. Got back and realised it was 0600. SO.... I got up only to realise I had not adjusted that clock. Sat here now thinking "what *#** time is it??

Good morning, world!
We are promised mainly dry and bright weather today, but chilly. A coat will probably be required.
Today, we need to go shopping for a new saucepan. We have had a cast iron pot, with enamelled interior, which we bought many years ago from Sainsburys. A sort of "knock off" Le Creuset one. A big chunk of the enamel has come away from the bottom of the pot after countless hours of use, so a replacement is being sought today.
And we might also start buying a few Christmas provisions: some drink and some nibbles which must be put away in a cupboard and not brought out until Christmas, lest they should all be consumed well before the festive season.......

Good morning people, bright and breezy here but damp under foot, the forecast is for a dry day so a bimble might be in order.

Good morning all, grey and damp here.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Good morning wheezey ones. Well that was an interesting night. Torrential rain and Gale force winds. On the local Facebook page there was lots of talk about trees and and branches down on Mach, fencing blown across the old bridge at Mach. Trampolines in hedges etc.
I think Mr WD might want to do a proper shop in Newtown today but I am not driving anywhere. The roads will be covered in water and detritus so he can think again.
I spoke to my mum yesterday. She told me my younger brother has Covid19 and is quite unwell.
Stay safe peeps

We live in a cul de sac of (mainly) retired folks, so there's not a lot of trick or treating. We did get two young girls call, but they couldn't get the doorbell to work. Mrs Salad heard them talking on the doorstep, debating whether to knock the door, or just not bother. She opened the door and appeared suitably scared by their masks and costumes.
I then had to take the bell push to bits and dry it out to restore it to working order, but we got no more callers.....
