God morning all.
It's grey and cloudy outside.
Were going to a couple of the garden centres this morning, MrsP wants plants for hanging baskets, and I want geraniums for the front garden and some tomato plants, my home grown seedlings are taking an age to grow as the weather has been so cool for the last couple of months.

Good morning people, Friday comes round again, supermarket shop to do shortly, chores to do this afternoon.

Morning all

Fish Friday comes around again!
A few little jobs to do this morning, and then a stroll down to the harbour for F&C and a few pints of scrumpy in Pebbles.
I managed to trim a fair bit back in the garden yesterday and filled a whole dumpy bag with trimmings - off to the tip tomorrow.
The guy turned up yesterday to fix a broken concrete fence post. Whilst he was here we noticed that another post, next to it, was about to let go as well. I've booked him in to come back to fix that one in the next few weeks.

Good morning from the highlands.
A super start to the day as when I checked our Blink Video Doorbell that I repurposed as a nest box camera I see that it's being checked out by a couple of potential residents ❤️👍😎
EDIT:
Amazing that I can sit having breakfast at our friends house in Inveran and watch the birds in real time back in Poole Dorset 😎

Quick update.....I promise not to labour things.
The Doctor asked me to go in asap. MrsD is sedated but they are giving her hours, maybe days.
I have come back home and left son and daughter with her.
2 1/2 hours was enough for now.

Sorry to hear that - sending sympathy

Morning again. Just back a pleasant 5 mile walk. Met a guy I know walking his dog and we chummed along together for most of the walk. The miles seem to pass much quicker when you're gabbing

Yes, it is nice to have a natter - normally slows me down though, although this doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.

As part of my ageing process I am no longer competitive re walking, climbing & cycling times and speeds - I just like being out and about, with or without company. I do compare my stat's with years gone by just to reassure myself that my rate of decline is slow!

A local guy sets up a hide to photograph wildlife. He took this yesterday. Aren't they so cute. Thank goodness the numbers have gone up so much up here again.

In Coventry's fish market this morning at my usual stall, got us a nice couple of pieces of salmon for tea tomorrow, they had fresh lobster in, it was that fresh it was crawling round the stall.

I am sewing something. Not sure what it will turn out to be, but it's going to be a thing
