A filthy day ahead (weather wise). Wind is driving the rain and its been mixed with hail.
Strangely the local forecast shows the temperature dropping by 2° at 0800....thats bot nice is it?
Slept badly last night, probably too much sleep the previous night.
I need an Aldi dash but really, really, really don't feel like it.

Good morning from a very breezy Coventry, my planned bimble has been put back to Saturday, I'm mostly doing housework today, my new cassette and chain are due to arrive so theres some bike fettling to do, I've got a kitchen cabinet that needs new legs but that might have to wait till another day, it'll take me an hour just to empty it, and this morning my Good Ladies carer paid us her last visit before going on holiday for a fortnight, she's off to Poland to visit family.

Morning all, guess what. Windy here also. Bright, but windy. 40mph gusts are forecast for this afternoon.

It’s brightening up this morning, friend is coming round and we’ll do a short run. Calf has been tight so I’ll take it easy. We’re out to lunch with friends on Saturday in St Tropez ( not the place in France, it’s on Poole Quay and is owned by a wonderful French couple )
Stay safe folks 👍☕️

Sun is up, chaps working on the next apartment block are acting as my alarm clock, seven a.m. start to seven p.m. 12 hour day!

Second estate agent coming today to take pictures, do valuation etc. Solicitor meeting tomorrow. Have to get an Energy Efficiency Certificate as our place was built before they became law in 2014. Apparently that is going to be circa 200 Euros just for a bloke to walk around for five minutes and then produce a certificate.

But at least we have the ball rolling.

Morning all

Raining again!
Had a good day yesterday meeting up with my old best mate from the 70s. So much to catch up with!
Probably just having a ride around today - Dovedale, Bakewell etc.

Morning folks its a cold northerly again Im on spaniel walking duties so whatever the weather i'll be walking the beach and collecting sea weed for the bin, its going to make good compost especially as im adding some turf i found dumped by the golf course workers. This cold snap has checked the growth of my toms...which isnt good for young plants so will sow some more as back up in case they dont grow well.

Good day. Bright but decidedly breezy!! Yellow 30mph breezy.

➖️ LFT earlier. ✅️ Need to do this as we had close contact twice over the weekend with friends who are now positive and ill. I'm playing cards this afternoon and #2 son situation. We've only four tests remaining so I'll pop to the chemist later. I can walk there which is a good plan.

I've considered an Aldi dash but the freezer says we're OK for everything. Fresh veg can wait. Found some smoked haddock in the freezer so kedgeree for tea.

I have curdled.

Stove is lit.

It's blowing a hoolie here now.

Still in bed having a Kindle lay in.

Windy overnight and supposed to be very windy all day but... it is currently sunny and dead calm out there. 🙂

Eeeeee that were a bit gusty oop top o the hill! 🌪️ Strangely, I didn't meet anyone else. Didn't have a phone or camera with me to take pics of a slight covering of snow over on the other hills. It felt more like winter than the middle of spring.

I've discovered the cartoon thread. Very good but I must resist for a while. So I'm looking after a neighbour's cat, guinea pigs and hens. Just breakfasted on two fresh delicious boiled eggs. Spotted a dead rat in a trap on his allotment while I was feeding the hens. After some consideration i thought:

"Nope, sorry mate. I'll do your pets and chickens but you can deal with your own friggin' rats after your hols."
