Must be a lot warmer where you are! We’ll be lucky to get 11 degrees this afternoon with a chilly easterly breeze no doubt making it feel colder.

Started young, and still going.
It's going to get up to around 14⁰ here this afternoon, with sunny intervals. ☀️
Our son is going to call round on his way back from work at some point, he must of heard that I am cooking loin of Pork with all the trimmings for dinner today.
I am carrying on with the exercises and will do a couple of short sessions on the turbo. The knee has really good movement, but at times it is still a little sore, particularly after a couple of repetitions of the exercise regime, the Ice pack really helps.
I have the last of my tomato plants to pot up, the others are doing well, although it is still quite cold at night, and my potatoes are growing quite vigorously now.
Then,
I will watch the Amstel Gold bike race from the Netherlands this afternoon 🚴♂️,
As busy as I can be at the moment, enjoy your day everyone.
Forecast saying 14-15C. Not as warm as a week ago but should be pleasant enough. We have the E wind, fortunately not the gale of yesterday which my legs are still recovering from!

Happy Easter!!
not exactly sure what the plans are for today - there is some plans for going up to see SWMBO's sister and the niece is "doing the makeup" for The Wedding
and they want to try out something slightly different
2 things actually - one on each side - which might look a bit weird
so my idea of having chicken or pork roast was not met with much enthusiasm
was thinking of an early ride but it was 5 degrees outside (apparently) so I'll wait
Oh - and we have to deliver the Easter Eggs to the grand kids - we had them overnight the night before last and there were some "discussions" about acceptable behaviour at times
but they were fine in the end - I think they need to remember that the rules are more lax here - but firmer - so they can do things they normally mightbe told not to - but when they are told NO then that stays fixed
they expect to be able to push it!!!
anyway
better find that Easter Eggs before my wife wakes up!

Good morning. A beautiful day here in Lancashire. Another shite sleep for Paul though I did manage a nap around 8.00am. What's this napping at 8.00 in the morning.
My boots are freshly waxed and then topped up with a little beeswax to give a nice sheen to the finish. Mrs P and I are off for a walk at 11.30. A relatively easy five local miles. This will be my longest walk since the RTC. The plan is to gauge how the knee reacts as we're off walking in the Lakes in ten days.
Finished watching Years and Years earlier. I hope I don't end up in that world......

Might work - one of my grandsons is not really very keen on chocolate!!
He still wants the eggs - but just has a nibble and stops
I also have a friend - 3 of us pretty much grew up together
2 of us had finished all our eggs by the end of Easter Monday
at one point when we were teenagers the other one asked if we fancied a bit of Easter Egg
In about August!!!!
the other one and I made some rather surprised exclamations (shall we say!) and he revealed that he still had 3 East Eggs left and he liked to savour them over several months
He also kept all his toy cars in their original boxes and in perfect condition
Ours were battered to Hell and back!!
he was weird (still is although his wife has sorted him out a bit!)

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
2 lots of washing done and it's all in the lune outside.
Lamb today. We bought 2 legs of lamb I Iceland the other week. £12.50 for a whole leg. 2 per person was allowed so we bought 2. Mr WD cut them in half so we will have at least 4 meals plus sandwiches as well

Just noticed 4 smartly dressed people walking around visiting the house in our street
Being Easter Sunday I am assuming something religious
never heard the bell ring
I assumed they received a message from above about "beyond redemption" or something
I mean - I know my jokes can be "variable" but that is taking it a bit far??
anyway - turns out that the ringer in the hall has been "adjusted" - probably by someone below the age of 8!!!
but we should still have heard the kitchen one so I am going with my first theory
