Morning all :hello:

Another bright day here on the Rutland Water peninsula. :sun:
Off to exchange an empty Calor cylinder first thing, then going to Sainbury's in Stamford. I need a pair of jeans as my old ones ripped yesterday, and MrsD needs some lightweight trainers because she forgot to pack any when we went away.
Taking doggie for a walk around a nature reserve before a lunch stop.
Motorhome next to us moved on yesterday, so we're down to three on site now.

Good morning everyone. Grey and wet.......well I've just had a shower what do you expect?.........no, you idiot they want to know about the weather.........oh, right.............grey and wet is still the answer.

So today? Well. #3 son's birthday so we are taking him out for lunch. First we have a U3A committee meeting - Mrs P and I are both on committee. If the weather bucks up late afternoon I'll grab a couple of hours riding.

After long discussions with BG I finally had to agree the energy bill is correct. The direct debit hit our account this morning. Ouch! :eek:

@Mo1959 how are the bruises? @numbnuts your tooth and jaw?

That's about it guys, life seems quiet at present.

As many know our house backs onto a country park.
Just looked out of the window and there are at least 6 big caravans parked there.......on the grass, directly behind our fence.
Call me biased but the words pikey and b*stards spring to mind.
So.....at least 3 things.
1. Lock both garden gates.
2. Don't put the bin out till tomorrow morning.
3. Sadly our planned picnic plans for Friday is kiboshed.

Barnet,
Tell you what, when I put it out I will post a photo so you feel loved :rolleyes:.
Black, for us, is general waste.

Good morning folks,
Two days of granddaughter sleepovers has kept me occupied and occupied, she never stops! Managed to get some rest by watching a load of Tom and Jerry cartoons with her.
Met up with friends yesterday for a trip to Weymouth, it was really busy but we avoided the hustle and bustle by heading to the Dog, a micropub in a converted shop. There’s a pub dog called “ Ruddles “ She brings you a ball and then retreats towards the end of the pub and plays goalie when you try to kick the ball past her. Rinse and repeat until you get bored/ tired 😁 they also do a “ Beer Tapas “ a selection of three beers for £5
Two nights. WOW! Kudos. I'm usually wiped out after a one night sleepover.

Is it on Strava? :laugh:
