This! I love this. I am going to try so hard to remember this phrase.

You might get it for a snip.....

Well, I seem to have dodged the bullet rusty razor blade. Hammer price was £720, plus at least 25%, more if bidding online!
Should have known I'd be safe, as my commission bid was in (low!) double figures, but still a bit surprised at that result.
Mrs Poacher didn't fancy any of the earrings, so I don't have to venture out again in the driving rain - it wasn't much fun on the brommie to Lidl for fresh croissants at 8am.

What a horrible day rain and very dark too.
Taken my first metformin today just have to wait to see if I get any side effects.

We have blue skies and sunshine here now. And I have put my washing outside to dry.

I knew it was too good to hope for. Rain has stopped play 😆

Walking back from the shop when I spotted “ Kami “ the cat. Supremely dismissive of road traffic, Kami is known to saunter casually across the busy road, snarling at any vehicle that has the temerity to sound its horn at her.
We’re not sure if it has an owner, we named it “ Kami “ after Kamikaze.

Bacon and sausage bap.

Lunch was golden brown chunky chips, wrapped in Wiltshire ham and with a sweet chilli dip.......very nice.

So, it is all your fault, can you just, please, keep your washing indoors?

Finished our party for 2 at 5.30am and got up at 1pm today. Great night.

On the subject of clothes - what do we think of older men in those 3/4 length trousers? Horrible imo.

And Crocs - abominations too.

Cooking a crusty topped chilli from scratch today and will have another P-F-2 night tonight.

Rest day tomorrow and about 30 miles of walking planned for the week ahead.

Grotty weather out there.

For the TV watchers.

Yesterday we finished Devil's Hour on Prime with Peter Capaldi.

Definitely one of the very best mini-series (6 parts) we have ever watched.

Capaldi was outstanding and the child in it (Benjamin Chivers) gave the best young actor performance ever.

Been out a couple of months so some of you may have seen it but if not, give it a go.

We had a sunny break of four hours as forecast, starting at 11.00. Ride plans set to meet at 11.15, 43 miles, 15.3avg and got home at 3.30, five minutes before the heavens opened. Yeah!!

Time for a brew and think about tonight's tea. I'm erring towards stir fry or sausage, mash, kale with garlic and a good sticky onion gravy.

Almost like the head of a lynx on that.

Notice the teeth are on display, you upset it?
