Afternoon all . Well it’s been better day than forecast .
Sailing wise it started well , first to the first mark, it then went very’ Peter Tong ‘ as I went to the wrong second mark. 😂It’s a good job I am not that bothered about results . At least the company and the wine was good . 😀
Off to sunny Cromer tomorrow, looks like I need to be packing jumpers and jackets rather than shorts . 😂

On Friday I lost a button off my Rohan " Journal " jacket. I have had it for many, many years and it's my favourite. A lightweight blazer style that you can chuck in the washing machine and it dries in next to no time. I went online looking for a replacement button, got distracted and ended up buying a new jacket 🤔
Good morning all.
A good sleep, just not enough of it.
A quietish day ahead. Not sure about a walk, my head says yes but my legs say otherwise. As Mo said recently, word to the effect of, yo sometimes have to force yourself to do it.
I have promised to finish cleaning that metal bench so we can use spirits prior to painting. The paint has been donated which is good.

Feeling a tad unmotivated myself this morning. I will make the effort to get out soon.
Looks like a dry day in prospect although not very warm.
Good morning from an overcast but bright Dorset. Just had my Octopus energy bill for April, all that sun means that after all charges they paid me £60 ☀️😎😁
A message from my friend who's in Scotland at the moment, I have been tasked with collecting dandelions and feeding her tortoises. That should get me out and about this morning. On my longer walks I have been listening to a number of podcasts from " The rest is History ". There's a backlog of over 600 episodes to catch up on, and as each episode tends to be about an hour long there's plenty of topics to explore. I was listening to the episodes about the Titanic and now I am thinking of visiting Belfast. Mrs Tkk won't fly but I see that there's a train/ ferry service from Glasgow 🤔
Have a peaceful day everyone

Bonjour tout le monde. Good day today as MrsG and Molly will be back this afternoon .
Mrs G told that where they were, they had a big enclosed garden with trees and Molly was busy chasing squirrels so she had a good time.

Probably a good idea if it's a holiday. I can't believe the schools even get it. They are barely back after Easter. Between lengthy holidays, bank holidays and teacher training days they barely seem to be at school.

I went to get some petrol in an unmanned petrol pump yesterday. I put my bank card in the machine and then couldn't remember my pin number. I tried twice and was declined twice so took my card out before it swallowed it and went to a chip and pin garage.
The problem is that I still can't remember my pin and I didn't write it down anywhere so I will go to my bank tomorrow and ask them to send me another one.
It is a good thing I can use it for up to £100 though.

Morning all
Misread the clock this morning and got up at 6 (thought it said 8!!!)
went back and got anotehr hours or so when I realised
The grand daughter stayed overnight
We are off to Dunnham Massey National Trust place to have a look round and see a painting by one of the greats (can;t remember who!!!)
I think her main incentive was to avoid having to go to a "fun day" with her little brothers!!!!

Good morning all.
A cloudy day in prospect and quite a bit cooler than of late.
I've potted up some mor sunflowers, a different variety from the 1st lot.
Tonight we are going to the St. Albans arena for an evening with Sir Bradley of Wiggins, I'm looking forward to it.
MrsP has just had a message to say my new phone is at the store, so I will pedal across there shortly and get it. Then the fun will start setting it up.
Enjoy your day everyone.
