I have risen!

Little spin done. Just 19 miles. It feels plenty these days. Even did a bit on the A85 Crieff/Perth road since I was so early. I wouldn’t cycle on it any later.

Off for a soak in the tub now.

Well done Mo i know what you mean about avoiding the main roads.....I actually wondered if someone was intentionally trying to kill me the other day on the A9.
Cool here this morning, might spin over to Loch Fleet, i pointed out an osprey to a tourist on friday, it made there day as i dont think they had ever seen one before.

I've just topped up the bird feeders & hung a couple of fat balls in the ball holders.
Whilst decanting the suet pellets from the plastic sack into a more manageable sized container, and not realising that it had a hole half way down, I poured a lot on the grass and a goodly amount into my left croc... Never mind, between Bonnie and the pigeons it won't be there for long 😂

Dull start here. When will we see some rain?

Woken at 5:44 by three USAF V-22's returning northwards. Flying at under a 1,000 feet. The same three that flew over in the opposite direction last night.
Are we at war?

Relax, it was probably a report of a Chinese Spy Balloon. Turned out to be a pair of Welshies Bloomers that had blown off the washing line.

Cooooeeee. 9 deg. We expect 18 deg later on.

Not much planned for today

Stay safe peeps

Good morning, slightly overcast here. Off to Lidl for some gardening stuff and then I will make up some trellis from three offcuts. Wore my new trainers on our walk yesterday, need to break them in before next Sunday. Oh, and I said that I would paint the back gate.. better crack on then, have a peaceful day folks ☀️😎🎶☕️

Looks like by the weekend here. Just hope we don’t have as long a spell of continuous wet days as we have had dry days.

If it stays overcast, might get the car washed

Possible rain Wednesday PM here in Poshshire, which is a pain as I have to change the batteries in the speed indicator signs that day. Looks like Saturday is currently our best chance of proper precip.

Good morning from Nice. Yesterday we went to our friends' house above Eze for chat, a lazy lunch and a siesta. Life can be hard.

We fly home at lunchtime. We have already decided we will get together again in early September for a week long trip around Cornwall and Devon. Our friends will fly into Bristol. We will hire a six seater vehicle, collect them and away we go.

Now. Tomorrow. Have I mentioned this? It's Bruce time. I've been quietly excited for weeks. The Boss arrived in Manchester about ten days ago with lots of local stories of sightings of the man. One reported he was seen in M&S!!!! 🤣

Two gigs so far. Both reviewed as exceptional. The excitement is building. I will be quite giddy by lunchtime tomorrow!!!! 👍😄

Morning all

House exterior being painted this week and the painters have just arrived.
Suppose I better get out of bed now.
Off shopping in Minehead later on.

Possible rain on Wednesday for us, then a few day starting at the weekend.
