Good day. Overcast, spitting with rain and pleasantly cool. I'll take that for the day, thank you. Small person has gone swimming so granddad is going to catch up on some household admin. The ironing, please refer to yesterday's huge washday, was done at 6.00am as I couldn't sleep. I think it would be a good plan if I prepare small person's lunch and our tea.
Blue, grey, brown bins today. What more excitment could any man need?

Love the cornflowers. It doesn't seem to matter what I do mine never grow. I'd like to have some on the allotment. Good to hear about the miles, knarly muscles are not a requirement.

Sun is out now and it’s very humid even with the breeze. Gave the car a quick wash and just had a sandwich for lunch. Think I’ll just chill and watch some of the cycling today as I have no desire to go back out in the heat.

I need to wash my car as well. It's gone a tad cool here. I have put a jumper on
did you knit the car jumper yourself ?

Do you not get free eye tests? We do unless you want to pay for the extra test where they take a pic of the back of your eyes

A voucher given out by the NHS?

Hi @Dave7
if you have an HC2 cerificate you get a free eye test and an NHS optical voucher, the higher to cost the more the said voucher is it's worked out on your eye test (how bad your eyes are) and not the price of the frames.
Also on an HC12 cerificate you get free NHS dental treatment

@12boy you mentioned that you thought ladies in summer dresses looked very nice.
So this for you.
