Good morning all.
Heavy rain greets me as I awake. I've been up since 6.30.
A domestics kind of day today. The heavy rain is due to be here all day.
I might get the bus into town, I need some tomato seed, Moneymaker variety, and I might buy a new electric propagator to get the seeds going. I have a whole range of seed waiting to be sown, now is the time for some of them. Tom's, Cosmos, and variety of herbs can go in now.

Sounds good.
Not sure it will beat Scarborough Bay though

It also stops them rolling out of bed at night

all sorts of advantages
(or so I'm told!!!)
 
Woke up at 6 something and decided to lie back down for a while

10 minutes later I got up an 9:30!!!
I was in a bit of a panic because at 6 something I had realised I had forgotten to put the blue bin out
and I thought I had heard a bin lorry - this happens a lot because there is a very bin-lorry-sounding noise often coming rouns at 6 something on blue bin day
no idea what it is but the bins don't get collected

anyway - got dressed and dashed down and put the bin out

temperature is WET - just WET - and miserable

anyway - off to the Foodbank later as I have been fixing a tablet thing for them and I need to talk to the manager to finish setting it up

she has promised to show me around the cemetary
which sounds weird but they are moving their "office" there soon - dunno why - the office never gets used since Covid when they realised it could all be done at home!

anyway - they want my input about security for the computer(s) and other stuff


then some people from a local Hospice are coming to collect some furniture for the charity shop this afternoon

How did I ever find time to work???
 
It looks like i will need a posh outfit for one meal on board the ship on my holiday.I am just going up to find my blazer it could be at least 25 years old.This should be a laugh.See you all later.

We went on the Alaskan cruise for our honeymoon (about 7 years ago - or 6 - or 8 - whatever!)

it was brilliant - you will love it

We did it from Canada but doing it from the US side will probably be better as you won't have the first day of the cruise spent in a giant warehouse waiting to get "into America" - took 5 hours for passport and customs!

It was worth it in the end though!

Just back from a walk / jog with a friend. I was reluctant to go out as the weather looked dreadful. I'm glad I did as it was quite tame, a bit blowy and a bit of drizzle. Our route went past where the Waxwings were hanging out last week, non to see, but I did see a few Long Tailed Tits as we ran around Hatch Pond fishing lake.
Physio this afternoon a routine appointment, Mrs Tkk has her hips manipulated and I will have treatment on my knee.
