Night Johnboy.

I plucked up the courage and went to the gym. It was difficult, and I needed a couple of minutes in the office when I first got there, but alright, as time went on, I also popped around to see a pal who had texted me earlier, that was a first as well. All in all, it was quite a good evening. I am now chilling with a glass of wine, I have been awake since 4am, so bedtime will not be far away. Thanks for putting up with me.

Well-done. Glad to see you are getting out there.

not bed time yet

anyway - just got a message that one of my old school teachers has died
he was also an Olympic athlete in about 1960 - high hurdles apparently

weird to think of them dying

There's around a dozen teachers from my last school died since I left.
The last one I'm aware of, found out in the week before lockdown, that "Mad Jack" the metalwork teacher had died a few years before. My last chemistry teacher, "Doc Brown", never saw this century.

Been awake for ages, I've even had me breakfast

Morning. Another chilly start but a decent day again.

Talking of teachers, most of mine have died I think. Only a few still around.

I have risen!

Got the man from ADT coming to measure up for an alarm this morning ing, otherwise a Q day planned.

Good morning, woke before 6:00 so went downstairs to make coffee. On my way back up I glanced at the solar monitor and saw that the panels were already generating ☀️
Our trip to Weymouth yesterday went well, a good meal and natter with a friend and his wife, followed by a wander along the prom ( they still have donkeys ! ). We saw hundreds of Sika deer on the train journey with them clumped together as the fields are still partially flooded. A bit of diy today that should save me several hundred quid, and there's the cake I baked that needs sampling.

Good morning folks. Not much planned for today, walk the dogs, maybe a peloton walk. Platelets/plasma donation this afternoon.

Morning all

Man coming to quote for roof cleaning at 9am.
Main thing I'm doing this morning is sorting out all of my engineering tools and putting them in my new stacking tool chest/box which arrived yesterday.
Might nip out to the Torre Cider Farm open day later on.

Exciting day for me......its black bin day.
Haircut at 10.00
Kitchen is nearer to completion.
Apart from that, not a lot.
Oh .. I will try to refill the bird feeders (if my legs allow)

Good morning all. Weetabix has been consumed here. I'm doing a bit of housework, then off to see some pals, who are even going to give me some money for visiting. Have a great day. Boris is on my window sill waiting for breakfast, pesky blackbird want feeding every half an hour.

 

[welsh dragon]

Coooeee. Been awake for oodles of time but I was toasty warm in my bed.

Stay safe peeps

Good morning all, a cold and bright start. Cleaning first then might go out for a bit if it’s still sunny.

Curious all this talk of old teachers, I’m amazed that anyone still keeps in touch with them. For me the last I heard of any of them was on the day I left in 1980.
