Good morning from a beautifully sunny Lancashire, looks like it will be glorious all day though the Met Office don't agree. 
It's Tuesday so it's small person day and I will pop over to collect her. Hopefully Mrs P will take her swimming which will give me a spare couple of hours to start blitzing the housework. That remains to be seen. Need to cut the grass as well if it dries out. OK be good, I need to go and find nappies, drinking cup and other small person paraphernalia.

Morning folks weather is uninspiring...cool..drizzly....bleugh! at least there arent many tourists yet though i did see a motorhome parked across 3 bays in the golf course car park. Walking along the beach i sometimes find wood piled up for someone to have a camp fire...i throw it into the sea so as not to have another disfiguring scar on the landscape.
The garden is getting greener every day with lots of new growth appearing, am looking forward to warmer weather and planting out the tender stuff- tomatoes, courgettes, beans and the like

Morning all
Managed to get two of my lawns knocked back into shape yesterday - neatly edged and mowed to an acceptable height. Might have a go at the last one today, although it's forecast to rain.
MrsD's cycling down to her hairdresser this morning for a trim.
First time she's been on her bike for a few months.

Wow, a local guy who is a keen photographer managed to get some decent ones of a beaver. I've occasionally seen one but never had a decent camera with me at the time.

Still not yet up at stupid afternoon o'clock (12:55)!
I have been awake since 11:00 but have been solving crosswords etc.
It is that time of year when I am sometimes still awake at sunrise and that doesn't help with getting to sleep. Even though I have heavy curtains in my bedroom, some light gets through and above them.
Speaking of crosswords... Another annoying clue. I hate getting the answer without fully understanding where it comes from. The answer was 'morris dancer' which was the 'traditional English performer' part, but what does that have to do with 'records main version with sitar in the end'?
It was supposed to be raining, but it is not so perhaps I will do an extended ride to get my Metro.
Great excitement when I called in at Aldi yesterday... A teenager on a bike clearly thought that the pavement near the car park entrance/exit is a cycle path (it is NOT) and that he could shoot across that entrance in front of a car that was coming in. The car screeched to a halt and narrowly avoided the cyclist. Loud blaring of the horn and surprisingly strong language from the silver-haired old lady driver!
The cyclist just smirked, stuck the middle finger of his right hand up at her, and carried on. May a thousand punctures blight his tyres!
