Stay safe peeps

Good morning from a dull grey Coventry.

 

[Paulus]

Good morning all.
A rotten nights sleep. Awake at 0300, and drifting off and on since then.
Once the dew on the grass has dried, I will give it a quick cut to tidy it up. The rain last week has set it off.
A bimble out on the bike later on to keep the legs ticking over.
Plus a few of the usual things to do will keep me busy for the day.

Good morning folks,
A strangely quiet house as all our visitors have gone. Some strange dreams too, some involving w*rk 😮

Morning All.
Good luck with a spark,

Well, so far you have proved correct .
The local paper didn't list a single one.
Where to go now

From my experience, don't bother with any of those "Trusted Trader" type sites, the majority don't respond. I tried it with the spark, a roofer and a plumber and got no contact from any of them. If they aren't going to bother, don't go on the sites.

They were not dreams, they were nightmares, you may need therapy.

@Mo1959 how is Molly doing

She was a bit restless last night but pretty much back to normal this morning. Ate her breakfast ok. The vet kept trying to push dental dry food but from research I've done cats really don't crunch and chew food the way we do so it is of limited benefit but she gave me 3 little bags to try so I'll see. Need to give her about a week for the gums to heal properly first though.

Slightly dull start but the sun has broken through now. Pleasant 5 miles walk done round the riverside trail plus a loop of the park.

Morning. Dull start but to brighten up by mid morning. General waste bin day for us.

I watched and enjoyed an old Dalziel and Pascoe on the Drama channel last night. Same channel for The Coroner and Whitechapel tonight to keep me amused.

I've broken my run of a few months exercise with my day off yesterday.

Friends and family, who's had wok done recently? who knows someone who can do the job? local community web sites like this one? https://nextdoor.co.uk/

We have always done all our own DIY. At first it was because we couldn't afford to have anyone do it, then we did it because so many so called experts were so rubbish and dud such bodgit jobs that we were better doing it ourselves. Our son also does everything himself.

Yes. I intend to catch up on that. So many things on at once just now.

Looks as though there is more in the pipeline

Bonjour. On the way home from Sunderland, first to near Stoke to pick up the car and then home . Can't wait to see Molly again.
I must say how very friendly everybody was on our 3 day ride. It is true what they say about Northeners, they are a friendly and warm welcoming bunch.
