Morning all.
Was up at 0530, switched heating on and went back to bed .
Now what is on today.
Daughter may be coming here (not sure yet).
Gardener is coming........Q. will it be the last cut for the grass ?
I will be making pies** from what remains of the casserole **it will be in a pie dish and with only a suet top (feel free to shoot me down)
I MUST change the bedding.
I have to wash MrsDs hair as her sprained wrist prevents her doing it

Don't you just hate it when that happens

I must give fair warning. If that Stinky Wellington group glue themselves to the M25 today I will just drive over them.

Good morning folks,
Had a pulled muscle during yesterday’s run and ended up walking home 🙁
A bit miffed but c’est la vie, I’ll see if I can jump on the turbo without aggravating it. Lovely sunshine this morning, there’s a trip to Screwfix for some LED light bulbs and then a bit of baking.
Have a peaceful day folks ☀️👍

Good morning all, a bright start here.

Well seeing as you asked. I feel you have mixed things up!
Pies:
Pie dish ✔️
Casserole ✔️
Suet ❌
This is not a pie

Suet pudding:
Pudding bowl ❌
Casserole ✔️
Suet ✔️

This is not a pudding

So you're having leftover casserole with suet for tea!

If you do would you film it for me

morning, -3c here

Morning all

Woken up by the bin men emptying our green bin this morning.
New dishwasher installed and working well.
Off to take the old one to Ilfracombe tip this morning.
Curry's wanted around £50 to install the new one (5 minute job) and remove the old one (basically free - just diesel cost of tip run).

If you do would you film it for me

Ill send you the dashcam footage.

If it were up to me, when they glue themselves to a road the police would simply put cones around them and set up a diversion and leave them there. A few weeks glued to a road wpuld make them think twice before doing it again.

In any case, I think ill be safe enough. It seems these environmentalists have driven their smoky, leaky old diesel vans and campers up North this week. Im heading south, into Grain for lunch then down onto the Kent Downs for tea.

Good day to you all. Today's forecast 08.00 sun with <5% rain..........it's raining.

I will not wimp out. Nine days without a ride. I'm going. Not much else to report though I slept till 7.20! A very good thing. Porridge next and difficult clothing decision - autumn jacket or winter jacket? Forecast is 6⁰ with a high of 8⁰ 🤔

@Drago I hope all your various bits and pieces go well over the next few days. Safe journey.
