Morning. Still cold but not frosty and slightly more cloud. Think it will be the last totally dry day before we are back in a breezy/showery mix for a while.

Pick up the new car this morning so I’ll get it home on dry roads so it might stay shiny for a while.

I have used the same Park mini brute chain tool for 15 years without any issues. Being born on Monday explains my manly beauty.

Good morning people, bright breezy and cold this morning, we're having a bit of an adventure today, my Good lady has a hospital appointment but its not at the local hospital its at Rugby so she'll go on hospital transport and I'll make my own way down.

I have a cheap and cheerful Halfords splitter and it does the job no problem.

Mrs. C's little old Citroen off for it's MOT today.

I think it is nearing the end of it's life so fear a fail!

Good Day. No frost, clear skies and sun. We're forecast for a flag cracking 9⁰ - always best to get summer over and done with.

Small person day followed by Rovers tonight. One way and another I have a busy schedule till 10.30ish.........that's pm!!

I will survive........

Morning. 1 deg and feels like -4. Quite Brrrr

Hopefully the sun will show itself and warm us up a bit. It's a tad breezy as wall so with the low temp it might not warm up as much as yesterday.

Stay safe peeps

@ColinJ .... sorry, I didn't answer your question re' mobile phone/data usage problem.
MrsD and I have identical phones on the same package but she has no issues with data usage.
Grandson is guessing that I had some sort of app running and when I went out it gobbled up my data.
He disabled it so I can only use google etc when on wifi. No probs as I don't go out at the moment.
So......no reason but a solution.

Good morning from a sunny and frosty Barnet.
The new hob should be delivered this morning, it takes about 5 minutes to fit.
But I've got to wait in for the the grumpy man from domestic and general to turn up. We got an email with a time of 9 to 12am time slot.
A spot of chain cleaning is needed on my tourer/everyday bike. I noticed yesterday that it was a bit grubby, so as I am waiting about for a while, that will get done.
Enjoy your day everyone

Ps. Wordle in 5 .

I am sat in front of a lovely warm fire. Warming my toes.

Morning folks Thanks everyone for the advice on the chain tool my 'splitting' headache will soon disappear
A chest of drawers is arriving today but need a couple more for storing clutter/clothes and the like.
I saw my old berlingo out on the road and the owner who scowled at me i did sell it as 'spares or repairs' and gave an honest description....what more can you do?
Work to do in the garden today! will have to watch out for my dodgy back!

Morning all

MrsD's had a problem with her new tablet so it's going back to Curry's for a refund. She's not a very happy bunny at the moment.
Gasman finished the job yesterday with minimal disruption. Just waiting on the pavement reinstatement team now.
Might get the lawns cut today and also plant my pink fur apple taters.

Good morning all.
It was cold 1st thing. Sun is coming thro now.
Gardens got their 1st haircut yesterday and look better for it.
Daughter was coming today but is not well.
Yesterday we did something that we have never done before.......no Welshie, not that. We had a tv day. No popcorn, just a slob out day.

A missed opportunity @Chief Broom, As a valued forum member I'm sure that @welsh dragon would have been more than happy to send you a spare pair of her voluminous drawers!

........and they would have doubled up as a tent on his next camping trip!
