Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Houseworky stuff done. I have a load of washing that's nearly finished. Mr WD is on the roof again.

Agreed. I watched this a few months ago and thought it was superb.

That's insane. Who in their right mind would buy a house next to the M62. Cars!! On the pavement. This one really gets me going. Developers should be required by law to provide a minimum of two parking places, excluding the garage, for all new builds.
We have new builds all over the place in Chorley. Not one of them has adequate parking. There's a guy trying to develop four properties on local farmland. There is acres of space. The planners have noted one additional space is needed to match their criteria. Why not just plan it in the first place? Mind you we all know the guy, he has a dreadful reputation, so it's no surprise.

Hello again. 
Paul is feeling better. I managed another hour's sleep and then slowly attacked chores.
Then I opened the fridge and got very cross with the fridge! Yes. Someone, no names, wasn't me, crammed loads of stuff in, knocked the temperature control and the door didn't shut properly. GRRRR. The fridge was frozen. I've defrosted, cleaned etc. Turned out to be a good release valve.
I've found the tomatoes 🍅 👍👏 They have been missing for sometime. On Thursday I made a tomato salad. On Friday I couldn't find the tomatoes. They were in the cupboard were we keep the tins. Of course, they were. Where else????

My place is perhaps 1 mile away (as the crow flies) and on a still day we can sometimes hear the 'buz' from the M62. God knows how they can get ANY pleasure from living right next to it. Logic says the council/law should not allow it. But we all know that large backhanders work wonders.

Not all of these "peel off" lids aren't as strong as each other.

A very slow saunter round the riverside trail done. Don’t know if my legs were extra tired from the cycling along with the heat, but it was hard going.
Back in, blinds closed and pjs on. I might even lie on the bed soon for a little siesta, although not much chance of dozing off as I can hear the noise wafting over from the games. I bet the beer tent will be doing a huge trade.

Domestics done for the day.
I cycled down to Sainsbury's to get provisions for when MissP turns up.
I now need to water my tomatoes 🍅 and runner beans as they have flopped. There is not a cloud in the sky and the temperature is up to 25⁰ at the moment.
I'll do that then treat my self to a couple of cold beers.🍺🍺
On the subject of building houses next to a motorway, the same thing has been done near to Knebworth, right on the side of the A1M. A very tall wooden fence has been erected between them, presumably as a sound barrier and to block out the sight of the vehicles using the road.
I'm betting that it won't be too long before parts of the fence start to decay and get blown down ,either onto the carriageway or into the properties.

What are these lovely brass vents venting?
Are they on the roof of a canal boat
