Good morning world.
I've had a bit of a lie in this morning. On opening the curtains I see it's raining .
The cats have been fed, and have gone out to do cat things with the other beasties in the gardens, and over on the railway embankment.
The dog has had her morning constitutional and breakfast was served.
I have finally got my first cup of tea
I'm going to treat myself to a full cooked breakfast
A busy start to the day.

I was actually here at 5.55am as you will see from my Wordle post

I had thought about a short bimble. Even got the gear on. Opened the door and it was chucking it down so mutter, mutter, curse, curse....back in and changed back into the walking gear and headed out for a walk instead. Of course, it was nearly off by then Glad I just walked though as there was loads of huge puddles and standing water on the roads so it wouldn't have been pleasant for cycling.

Nice 7.6 miles done up through the town then along a path that cuts all the way through the golf course to bring you out at the next village then home a little quiet back road.

I wish I had gone up to the local reservoir at the end of the summer and taken a picture of the water level to compare with what it must be like now. Bet there's a massive difference.

The sky has gone really dark here and I can hear thunder in the distance.

Looks fun

remember that anything that goes wrong in the next 3 days - you are legally obliged to blame the kids

well I do anyway
(one of the little b****** fiddled with the room thermostat last time - set it to 26

Its come up on my Facebook memories that its been seven years since I retired, I went a year early, I'd got a very small pension from a place I didn't stay long at, it wouldn't have amounted to much, I cashed that in to give me an income till the state pension kicked in then dropped my notice on the gafferesses desk announcing I was finishing at Xmas.

I have managed to clear out another cupboard. Mr WD didn't complain probably because one of our grandsons was here

This one even had old cassette tapes in it
