I have just seen Sunak can’t rule out future power cuts.

Good! That'll help reduce my bill!!!!!!

So I asked my children to arrive at 12.00........it is now 12.47.........😡

Good afternoon all
I was going to watch the first stage of the Tour of Britain on ITV4. But for some reason they showed an extra episode of the Sweeney with Diana Dors in it, and then a fishing program. The Tour seems not to be on, even though ITV4 were advertising the fact that they were showing it.

It’s on here?

Just checked on another forum, and because of the strong winds at the finish line, they couldn't get the gantry up for the broadcast equipment.
Apparently it came back on about 30 minutes ago.

There is a gale at the finish line. The crane (that receives the signal) cannot operate safely. Therefore no live pictures for now. :-(

It looks miserable!

I don't think Mrs G will like my TV viewing tonight: 2 hours of cycling. First La Vuelta at 7 and then The ToB at 8 !
I think I will watch it upstairs so she can watch her own things downstairs.

Much rather watch Ridley myself. I don’t find road cycling all that exciting to watch to be honest.

Evening all . Well that was surprise , it’s been sunny all day . 😀😀

Coffee on Saundersfoot beach in the morning followed by a picnic and stroll in Tenby . With ice cream to finish .
We know how to live, living life in the fast lane. 😂😂😂.
It’s just staring to cloud over and the wind is building as we are in for a storm over night , but at least we have had one sunny day. 😀

Ps it’s just started to rain.

I've got a couple of Van der Valk's to catch up on, so whilst Ridley is recording, so I can fast forward past the adverts, I'll binge watch them. I'll watch Capture on the iplayer tomorrow. All the good stuff is put on at or around the same times on the same day.

We have thunder storms and rain forecast for most days this week.

That’s similar to this part of wales, it’s sun shine and showers for us for most of next week.
