Squeezed in a walk before lunch in case the rain arrives. I had a bacon sarnie for lunch. It was rather nice. I don’t buy bacon all that often so it made a nice change.

Good afternoon all fellow retirees.
A busy morning has been had.
Awake since 6am, then had a message say that flights to Brieve in western France were now on sale for next July.
We have been invited to a posh wedding next year, it's a best friend of our daughter getting married and our daughter is a bridesmaid. We have known her and her parents since they were at primary school together in1995.
Ryanair are the only British carrier to go to the nearest airport, and only twice a week from Stansted.
Then we booked accommodation in a nearby town. It's costing me a fortune to go to someone else's wedding😅
The dog has been out for a couple of hours, domestics have been done, and I am about to cycle up to the pub for a couple of pints.
Later this afternoon I have an ECG booked as part of the general checkup ordered by the doctor.
It's all go here today.

An enjoyable and profitable afternoon down the club, we came out fourteen quid up, Handymen are here, JW Handyman, arrived on time, two fellas, not impressed with the last fellas work, replacing the strip of felt that part came off and putting extra tacks in, the other fella hadn't put enough tacks in.

Everytime I’ve refelted my own shed roofs I always end up cussing and swearing at my self for the amount tacks and bonding glue I put on the last time 😂😂😀
There has to be a happy medium 😀
I have the choice of several barbers in the local village. I know that ladies hairdressers tend to charge a small fortune so while waiting outside a shop I took a photo of the board outside the newest gents barbers ( it has several café tables outside where you can enjoy free Turkish coffee while waiting ) I was going to suggest to Mrs Tenkaykev that she could save a few bob 😉

It’s not difficult but it is very fiddly if your doing on your own . 😀

A golden oldie from my Facebook page tonight, it still made me chuckle.
There is….the answer is EPDM 😇
Rubber roofing….yes, you’ve got to cuss and swear at getting the old tacks off….but EPDM should last several decades….we’ve used it on 2 sheds, works great😎👍

You could have made the offer before he got someone out to correct someone else's shoddy work.
Good morning folks,
Two consecutive nights of granddaughter sleepovers and I’m knackered 😮
Still, I did get to watch the original Disney Snow White and Cinderella films last night. She was enchanted, especially with Snow White. Lord knows how I’ll manage at Poole Beer Festival today 🍺🍺
