Morning all. Cloudy but pleasant.
I am revolting :rolleyes:.
I look after the aunties money. This includes paying the council C£800 per month care package.
Now I pay this 'on the nail'.......but they are now asking me to provide bank statements.
WHY???
I will phone them later and politely decline.

Morning all :hello:

@Dirk ......how are the aches and pains this (fish friday) morning ?
Feel like I've done 3 rounds with Mike Tyson. Still, I'm pretty certain I've not broken anything - just battered and bruised. It's amazing how suddenly something like that can happen.
Thanks for reminding me of Fish Friday :okay:, I'd lost track of time.
Today we are diving into Deliverance Country to do a couple of house drive by's - first one is in Broadwoodwidger (I love that place name:laugh:).
Fish and chips at the Old Smithy Inn on the way back.

Morning. We have :rain:as forecast so just lay in bed much longer than usual. It’s to clear by late morning so might have a walk later.

Good morning folks,
Off to pocket park for some structured jogging. I’ve let the local Heath rangers know about the deer that I spotted a few days ago, not as exciting as the photo of the kangaroo in his garden that @PaulSB posted, but we all have to make the best of what we’ve got. It’s a tad warm out there, wish me luck. 😎☀️☀️

Good morning folks. Grey, overcast and cool which will do nicely as we're heading up to the Lakes for a walking day. If it's anything like yesterday the sun will break through around 2.00pm and get very hot. Picnic packed and in my day sack.

I see @Tenkaykev should have gone to Specsavers 🤔

Been harvesting this morning. Sunflowers now dotted around the house, peas trimmed and frozen and a couple of servings in the fridge.

Gooseberries are ready so I'll be up early tomorrow to get in what looks like a good crop. A blackbird has got in under the netting. I've tried to free him twice without success, he should fly off tomorrow when I take the netting off. Mrs Blackbird should give him a bloody good row........it must be three days now since he just popped out for a few worms. :laugh:

If Aunty receives any sort of funded care they will be looking for evidence of savings. Above £16,000 could be a problem.

It's a central government created problem but I won't go any further.
