Turned in to a lovely day here in Coventry , just right for bike ride and a cafe stop.
Before any of you get the wrong idea , Mrs exlaser did the bike ride and cafe stop, I just did the cafe stop bit 😂😂😀

Just been to Aldi. Main thing i wanted was pickled beetroot to accompany a corned beef hash. So......I made a small list to make the trip worthwhile.
Wouldn't you know it, they have run out of pickled beetroot**. The young guy was very helpful and went to the store room but alas the cupboard was bare.
I got everything else though.
NB
**The local co-op have it but it's twice the price ie £1.35 as against £0.70. How can such a basic product be twice the price??

I love beetroot but don’t like the pickled stuff much. They are putting artificial sweeteners in it now. I love these fresh ones. Just beetroot and nothing else. They are naturally sweet.

Well her son came round and we used next door's ladders to get to the gutters

Managed to get 2 side done which were badly blocked
the bloke next door will do the side that overhangs his side path - he is good like that and we had to stop because he had to go and pick his wife up from work

WHole thing made a right mess one the pation and side path

After he went I did the gutter along the low bit at the front which was also blocked - bu tit is 1/3 the height so I am OK with that myself


all this "pleasent view out of the back through trees" is fine - but teh damn trees do chuck a lot of leaves into the gutters every autumn!!!


anyway - looks a lot better now and the rain next week should shift the remaining bits



I'm wet and knackered!
