Morning. Gosh it’s been quiet in here. No posts after 7pm.
I have been awake since just before 4 so just got up. I normally do an extra long walk on a Sunday anyway so will head out soon and enjoy the peace and quiet.

I was up at 03:00 Mo. Went downstairs and had a read. Feeling knackered now 😕

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Cooooeeee. 7 deg here and a tad breezy. The weather isn't looking that good for a couple of weeks at least.
Another pottering day I think.
Stay safe peeps

Good morning. It's going to be a beautiful day. Yes, we're back. Thanks, we did have a good time. Oh, you didn't missed us? Oh, well. Mrs P and I have been to the Lakes for a few days with two other couples. B&B near Keswick for some walking, pub meals and general chit chat, being silly and doing old people's stuff................................which just means being very silly most of the time. It was a great trip. The main reason for going was to do our Rannadale Bluebell walk which has become a bit of an annual pilgrimage. The bluebells are near Rannadale (Rannerdale) Knotts about two miles from Buttermere, a stunning sight.
I came to a realisation during the trip; one of our party bullies me. It's taken years to reach the conclusion and I don't think she understands. Sometimes I'm very ticklish; this lady knows it and will grab me, by surprise, on the knees, shoulders, stomach or arms knowing full well it will get a reaction. I really do not like this; I've told her privately and rebuked her for it publicly, that is in front of our group but it continues. I made a point of keeping a physical distance on this trip, and our previous one, but that didn't work on three occasions. This woman's behaviour can be very rude at times, she knows it and most people dismiss it as "Oh, that's just Beryl**, you know what she's like." Let's turn that around, if I repeatedly grabbed women by the knee, stomach etc would that be dismissed as "oh, that's just Paul, you know how he is"? Of course not, it would be deemed inappropriate and perhaps sexual harassment. A form of bullying. Strange world we live in. I've decided what I'll say next time this happens...................and it's going to be blunt and to the point.
Anyway. I thought that little story interesting. Perhaps not?
Today? Loads of odds and ends. Make flapjack, gym, connect power meter to Wahoo, allotment, clean bike etc.
Oh, yes. For those who visit the Lakes. The Grange Cafe in Grange, Borrowdale, not Over Sands, is absolutely fantastic. Gets a definite 10/10 from Paul. Great coffee, delicious, genuinely homemade cakes, good panini, excellent Lakeland ice cream. Highly recommended if you're in the area.

Good morning all, a cloudy start to the day here.
Last night's gig by Jools Holland at St. Albans was excellent, as usual. That's the third time we have seen him and the band and they never dissappoint.
Todays tasks are to check the car over, tyres and fluids as MrsP is off to Suffolk, near to Southwold tomorrow on a 5 day art break with the group she goes to, so it will be just me and the animals for the week.
Also the grass needs cutting yet again.

I hope she takes something warm, as it`ll be chilly on that coast.

A pleasant but chilly 9 mile walk done. The sun is out now and the sky is clear so hopefully it will warm up a bit.
