Good morning folks, 3x£25 from Ernie and we’re off on the train to Dorchester for a meet up with friends. There’ll be seven of us this month and we’ve booked a table at the Blue Raddle for lunch. The other venue will be the Convivial Rabbit, a quirky little bar situated down an alleyway and referred to sometimes by Mrs Tenkaykev as the “ Rampant Rabbit “ 😮

Morning all

More viewings of our bungalow booked in this morning. We've done 8 so far this week and had a firm offer 10k over our asking price. Looking good.
Lunching at SQs today. We had fish & Chips on Wednesday, so might have something different today - we shall see. I quite fancy their Seafood Platter @ £22.50. Might treat myself.

Good day. I am now officially here as opposed to generally knocking about at God knows what time. Looks like a beautiful day has dawned which is just as well as we are off walking in the Ribble Valley near Whitewell and Dunsop Bridge for those who know it. I also went to the vets yesterday, well GP, for my annual check-up. The practice nurse said my blood results are perfect, she asked my weight, then asked if all was OK and I said I thought I was a bit heavy - she gave me a look!!! Also discussed BP as mine is low 109/63 and I think my resting HR is reducing, she's asked me to monitor these.

I should crack on, picnic to make, tomatoes to water and I have to sneak out and replace the packet of Jelly Babies I bought for today's walk. No idea what happened to those?

Oh yes. Speaking of Dunsop Bridge. Did you all know Dunsop Bridge is the geographic centre of the UK? Well it is. So not only is Lancashire the centre of the universe we also have a very well sited and rather lovely village - with a great cafe!!

25 extra sprinkles today

Morning all . Looks like the high point of my day will be getting the cases out of the loft as we are off to Saundersfoot for a week . Looking at the weather forecast I think we must remember coats lol.
Oh well it’s a shame after all the good weather we have been having but I am sure we will have a good time anyway 😀 ( plus we really do need some rain . )

A quick hello as I have a few early jobs/errands to do.
CH guy will be here to upgrade one radiator and try to sort out a problem on another**
**it heats up quickly then cools right down. He is guessing the thermostatic valve.

@Dirk sorry about the loss of your doggie. I know he was a mate of yours.
Never had a dog (or a cat) but my daughter has 3 dogs and a cat so I know how close you can get.

Stressed out cat back from the vet check up. Afraid she will need to go through it again next Friday as they want to be sure it's healing ok.

£100 from Ernie for me this month

Porridge finished so cuppa time. Had to put a warmer jumper on until the house warms up a bit.

Salut tout le monde. Beautiful day today . Having lunch at some friend's house this afternoon so won't get to enjoy the sunshine much.
I haven't been on the bike since we finished the C2C on Tuesday so I need to get going again but it won't be today but hopefully tomorrow.
Enjoy the coming weekend everyone.

Whenever I see the name Saundersfoot I automatically reach for my medical dictionary to check if a new infection of the foot has been identified
