Good morning all.
MrsP is off to Slimbridge wildlife and wetlands centre in Gloucestershire today, meeting up with some friends for the day. I am dropping her off at the station shortly.
So it's just me and the animals for the day.

I have returned form the Metropolis. Shopping done. Car topped up with petrol and Mr WD filled his petrol can up for the ride on mower

Lots ot road roarks with lights and long tail backs.

1 accident. A really big lorry filled to overlong with pallets that were stacked far too high, hit a bridge. All the pallets went flying. One lane only open, slow traffic and on the way back the police were there as well. Ooopps. I think the lorry driver may be in a spot of trouble.

Oh and a stupid elderly women decided she didn't want to get wet to parked right at the front of the petrol station so she could pay, but block everyone in. So I got out of my car and politely ( not) asked her to move. Lol

Good on yer WD.

Ask for as many blankets as you need to keep you warm.

It has been alleged that in a Melbourne hospital a patient asking for more blankets was told, sorry mate two is your quota and you can't have any more!

I'm sorry to read you're cold and uncomfortable. I for one am very glad to see you're posting. Have you got your charging cable?

Yes I do have my cable. Unfortunately there are no sockets nearby.
The nurse charged it for me during the night.

Morning.
Overcast and pretty breezy but dry.
Washing is on so once that is out on line the plan is a ride. Not been on bike since last Thursday(!). Hopefully I'll remember what to do.
Wife and eldest off for a few days to visit her mum so I'm home alone with the cats.

Morning all

Managed to keep my sanity yesterday with the two BiLs.
The whiskey helped.
Kept them entertained with 3 hours of TT Live.
Today, we are going to Minehead on the train, having lunch in Wetherspoons and watching the TT again this evening.
They go home tomorrow. Yay!

There's two in that first picture wondering what you were doing. They're looking straight at you.

Any progress from the corridor yet Dave?
Asking quietly just in case you've finally got to sleep.
