Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
The sun came out and it's been a gorgeous day. Blue skies sunshine and warmth
We had southern fried chicken today.
And I spent some money on a new sewing machine, well not a new one, another vintage machine that does zig zag stitches.

Just watched the 3rd part of DI Ray. I’m really enjoying it. Just tomorrow night to go.

Doesn't bear thinking about.What if he fell asleep lying on the grass, when sunbathing in the garden...?
Attending the local A&E having been cut up by a robotic mower. How would he explain it?

What'd I win?Just realised that we've passed the 100K mark on the number of posts in this thread.
@classic33 did post #100K on Saturday. Well done all!
I've bought a motion sensor animal deterrant for my garden from LIDL.
Hooked up to a hose pipe, it senses anything nearby and gives 'em a good soaking. Hopefully I can get rid of the bloody cat that thinks my raised beds are his personal dirt tray.
He's in for a shock tonight!
Have something similar for Halloween, it gives full blast from the hosepipe. Jet or spray, depending on how I set the nozzle.

A couple of days ago I gave a gilet to a friend of mine. It is in as-new condition, but is about 1.5 sizes too small for me. No point in it going to waste...
He came round today having found a gilet of his that he hadn't been wearing because it was about 1.5 sizes too big for him! It fits me pretty well now, and will be a perfect fit once I have lost another 7 or 8 kgs of surplus weight.
I bought a lightweight gilet a few weeks ago. This one is much thicker so it will be better in cooler conditions.

Couldn't you have just bought the correct foot and spread the stitching. Or just do wonky sewing and get a similar effect?

I would have but its a vintage as well and the foot cost an eye watering £314 as they are so rare. That's 3 times more than the the New machine

Good morning, dull, grey, warmish and no breeze. I think the sun will shine later. I'll get the bike out in a couple of hours for the first ride since I got my repaired wheel back. This afternoon it's the fortnightly card group, it will be Canasta (I'm good with this game) or Bridge (I need a crib sheet to get the bidding right! ) Bar the dusting and bed change I mustered enthusiasm for the domestics yesterday so I'll do those today. Might fit in an Aldi run.
If the sun does shine it may dry the soil sufficiently to create a tilth for sowing lettuce and spring onions. A friend has kindly given me his spare seed potatoes. I now have to work out how I can rearrange my crop plan to fit them in without disrupting the autumn and winter brassicas. Yes, I know this is a bit sad to some folk, so says someone I know well
,but it's the professional grower in me, I always have to have a follow on crop and utilise space to the maximum.
Gas consumption has plummeted by two-thirds in the last four weeks. Excellent news. Failed at Wordle. Bad news.
