Good morning all.
It's going to be a grey, damp and cloudy day today.
Sainsbury's are delivering the weekly essential stuff this morning between 9 and ten, then I'll be out with the dog for a while.

Taking a while to get light this morning with it being misty and overcast. I’d better make the most of the week as the rain is to return on Sunday.

A grey day here too. We will brighten things up with a 3 mile yomp this afternoon and a group on meal deal at a nice place in town.

Good morning from a grey Dorset. No veg box this morning as Mrs Tkk has cancelled it and will be shopping more locally. Walking group this morning followed by a quick visit to the local village pharmacy for a double jab ( Covid and Flu ) then to the pub for a swift pint and a natter.
Spoke with my older brother yesterday, it was his 80th birthday 😎
We've not seen each other for 20+ years but have arranged a meet up next month in Bristol as it's the easiest place for us both to get to.

We have Tesco delivering ours, also between 9 and 10. I hope they don't get mixed up and we get each others goodies

Good morning all.
A very grey day here, I declare it officially 'orrible.

Got to post a parcel this morning. Might nip up to the PO on the Barracuda.
MrsD is expecting a call anytime now, from Spa Medica, to go in for her cataract operation on her other eye. She can't wait.

ISRAEL/GAZA. (none political comment coming).
I'm sure I've mentioned this before but in the early 90s I worked in Israel (while with a subsidiary of Shell).
I had to meet the owners/directors of 22 different construction related companies. I was based in Tel Aviv......a 5* hotel right on the beach no less. The meetings took me all over Israel eg Jerusalem, Gaza, up North and as far south as Eilat.
It was a truly beautiful country and the people** were friendly.
**I had continuous problems with thier 'secret Police' who kept mistaking me for a wanted person......quite scary sometimes.

My point is that I find it quite upsetting to see what is left of that beautiful, friendly area.

I really need my left eye doing. The new specs have helped but things can be blurred through that eye.

I've been digging a splinter out of the tip of my right middle finger that I acquired whilst gardening yesterday.. 🖕

I think I've got it..
