Morning walk done in mild, spring like conditions. The groundskeepers were sorting out the water hazards at the local golf course as we walked along the trail way, looks like new life belts too.
Drizzle started after we reached the pub. Tried a pint of Plum Porter which was excellent. Back home now ready to doze off in the chair...

These DNA kits do throw up some odd/interesting matches.

Do you believe in coincidence ?? I will give you 2 from today.
I bit the bullet and arranged for a guy to come and make me a spare car key.......mine has been missing since I moved into the flat.
The guy asked me to send him a photo of the key, just to double check. When I did he phoned me and told me that the remote buttons look worn and that Vauxhall keys are renown for it.
1. Right after he phoned I nipped to the Spar. Arrived, got out of the car and....... the button had gone !!!! Popped out, disappeared.
2. The guy arrived, I gave him my key and literally 1 minute later my SiL found the original spare. When i was ill and couldn't drive it appears that I hung it on a hook and promptly forgot about it.
I now have.......
One new key with remote.
One spare.
One iffy key with a remote that works if I shove something where the button was.
What fun i have had.

Salut from North Devon..,..........again.
Here for just one night as we are going to Brighton tomorrow afternoon, all in the same car ( not mine), for grandson's graduation. He is now a full fledged paramedic. Back to Devon on Friday and home on Saturday.

Brilliant......give your grandson my congrats and admiration.
I would just seriously faint if I had to sort a bad cut out.
A friend of my son qualified, must be 20 years ago and has progressed well.

Don't do it folk. Last time I PMd him I got a pair of old smelly y fronts in the post.

Was that the time the High Alert group from Aldermaston was called out to an "Incident" in Warrington??
