Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Coooeee. A tad cool here at the moment. 10 deg and we will have a max of 20 deg.
Pottering is the order of the day for me.
Stay safe peeps

Good morning people, busy day, my Good Ladies got a hospital appointment this morning, our Lad is paying us a visit and I've got shopping to do, I did some of it last night.
Morning all. Cloudy but pleasant.
I am revolting
.
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.

Thanks for reminding me of Fish Friday
, 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
).
Fish and chips at the Old Smithy Inn on the way back.
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.

Morning. We have 
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.

I think my neighbours diagonally opposite must have a fried breakfast most days. That’s the smoke alarm off again! They are both rather plump too but at least they now have a dog to walk and he has been cycling lately.

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.
