Good morning folks, another sunny day here, I’m planning to head out for a walk soon. Our daughter messaged to say that there’d been a big fire on the Heath on Saturday, I think it made the news.
Anyway, onwards and upwards
Stay safe folks ☕️☀️

Morning. Much more cloud today. Not sure if the sun will make it through today. Seems less breezy though so nice enough.

I enjoyed Grace last night. Little bits of the book were coming back to me as I watched it. Another one next Sunday. :smile: I have The Split tonight. I’ve resisted the temptation to binge watch and just wait for it coming on each week. Oh, and I will have to catch up on Gentleman Jack too as I missed it last night.

I can’t decide what to do exercise wise today. I was on the feet a lot yesterday so I should really try and get out for a spin today.

Its a glorious spring morning in Coventry, I've just put the washing out, machine was on at half three this morning, its bright, sunny, not to cold and that wind has eased, an ideal morning for a bimble but I've had to postpone mine, my Good Lady appears to have picked up a stomach bug, she wouldn't let the carer wash and dress her this morning and is asleep on the settee, I couldn't leave her alone whilst I get some miles in whilst she's like this.

Morning all :hello:

A bit cloudy this morning but forecast sunny later.
Off to look around the Lathams superstore in Potter Heigham this morning. Don't want or need anything but I'm sure I'll see something to buy.
Could do with finding a car wash as the CRV looks like it's just crossed the Sahara.

That takes me back, got our first set of "proper" stainless pans from Lathams after years of using cheap ones. Strange the things you come back with from a holiday! Only changed them a couple of years ago after nearly 30 years of use.

We are going in opposite direction, towards Wroxham, especially to avoid silver Hondas ;)

Reporting for duty....can I be excused for yesterday please, I just didn't do much at all.
Garden was frosted over at 0630 this morning.
My Bro and SiL visited yesterday and brought curry, rice, nan bread and onion bhajis. I didn't fancy it but ended up really enjoying it.
All 4 of us are LFC fans so enjoyed watching them beat Everton.

@Dirk what did you think of St Benets Abbey?, bit underwhelming I thought, strange story however, it being spared by Henry VIII only to be destroyed anyway.

Our route today, I got by asking the cycle.travel website for a circular route. It takes us via a place called Woodbastwick. According to my Sustrans map, there is no road or cycle track, but, cycle.travel says there is. We will see, I will have the wrath of Mrs @BoldonLad to deal with, if I have it wrong! ;)

It certainly has an interesting history.
Worth the visit though.
