Morning folks its not raining or blowing or freezing whoopie so off for a spin in a while to my new 'favourite' hill....
Ive started to collect daffodils it seems, so far ive bought Actaea, Sailboat and Jack Snipe, there are scented varieties so might get some of those.
A neighbour gave me an old laptop which has windows chess titans on it so have been trying to sharpen up my chess ii set it on level 10 so it might take a while before i win.....its comprehensively trashing me at the moment

Have you tried Lichess on your phone?

You can play against a computer or against real players, of all levels, across the globe.

Afternoon all . Well I didn’t get my volunteering don’t yesterday as it was cancelled. It appears Warwickshire wildlife trust don’t mind you cutting down trees in the rain but they do get a little nervous letting pensioners do it when it is raining and there are strong winds. 😀 What could have possibly have gone wrong ? 😂😂😀 Will be back there Tuesday morning fingers crossed.
At least it gave me time to order a new fridge freezer as ours decided to die yesterday, that’s being delivered Tuesday afternoon. Looks like Tuesday will be a busy day for me .
It also gave me time to pop into the sailing club and pick up a small spare beer we have at the club that’s only used for special occasions. I decided me needing a way of keeping milk and more importantly WINE cool was a very ‘ special occasion’ 😂.
( We did ask the clubs permission first, but it does help both mrs exlaser and I are on the club committee at the moment )
Stay warm and dry everyone.

Why don't you treat yourself by buying a car?

Hi SpokeyDokey. i used to play online a lot but found i was getting a bit obsessed with the game! I do chess problems [chess puzzle of the day] and enjoy chess titans, i may take on real players if i have the inclination! https://www.chessvideos.tv/chess-puzzle-of-the-day.php

That's because you are over excited at St Johnson winning a game

They’ve lost the plot in the second half. A nervous 3-2 now!
