Morning. Bed was just so cosy this morning so just up.
Glad to see the frost gone but of course it’s damp and grey instead. At least it will be safer underfoot. I had one slip on yesterday afternoons walk that gave me a fright. Even my balance isn’t what it was. Doesn’t help having feet that are partially numb.

Morning all
Estate agents valued my dad's house yesterday and it will be on the market next week. They reckoned £360k and were confident of a quick sale - we shall see. We're having to apply for probate, even though there is a valid will, because the house was in my stepmother's sole ownership. This could take a couple of months to come through. Apparently, this is a normal process in such circumstances - although, I admit I'd never heard of it. They never make things straightforward, do they?
Inheritance tax will be the next thing to sort out.
The estate should be around £400k.
I get half; my brother (who I haven't seen for 10 years) gets nothing.

Morning all, I woke up at 1.30am for some strange reason, had a glass of water and listened to the end of the test match on the radio for a while. Finally got back to sleep around 4.30.
The washing machine is doing it's work, a second load, the bedding is waiting on the kitchen floor. Exciting stuff eh!
The usual dog walk, and some groceries to be got later from the local shops.
By then it will possibly be raining
.
Enjoy your day everyone.

Good morning folks,
I managed to leave my bag in the Pub yesterday, so I'll have to pop back into Wimborne at some time to pick it up 😁 Breakfast meeting with ex work colleagues yesterday, one of them couldn't join us as he and his wife caught Covid a couple of weeks back. They'd been vaccinated so the symptoms weren't too bad, aches and pains, a headache and intense fatigue.
Granddaughter is having a sleepover with us today, it coincides with the Lions Club Santa special passing our house later this evening so I'm sure that will delight her. No parkrun today, a bit weary after yesterday's excursions.
Stay safe folks

That should be more than enough for a new bike or several 😁Morning all

Just got this in the post. I’ve tried so many gadgets over the years but I think this might actually work. Just had 5 minutes and the morning stiffness……..ooooer! feels better already. You are supposed to just start with 5 minutes and can build up to half an hour. Molly lay beside me and purred in my ear

Morning everyone. Dull and grey. Not much on really so I'll mooch about doing bits and pieces.
Mrs P is significantly better. I may raise the subject of a new phone. 🤞
Rovers have their biggest game of the season so far. Bournemouth away. 2nd v 4th and a seven point gap. We need to win or at the very least avoid losing. 🤞

My team have been dreadful this year. After winning both cups last year, they are heading for relegation this year if they don’t drastically improve.
Up the Cherries! 🍒 😁
It’s quite pleasant here at the moment, very little wind, a still grey day
Weird dream time.
There I was, stood there having a wee when this woman* stands next to me and asks if me and MrsD could help her organise a buffet.
Still enjoying my wee I explained that we couldn't as we were doing a buffet ourselves.
*the woman used to be a friend of ours but its been 20 years+ since we have seen her.
As I say..... weird
