Good morning. Wet!!! The allotment needs it, my plants will be happy, my butts will overflow with joy.........

Excellent day at the farm with #1 and #2SPs. #1 is here on a sleepover. Granddad was having a quiet coffee at 6.00am........then she got up. Granddad has just said he's going to sit down with another coffee..........and will only be available for Uno after this.

At 8.00 I'm off to collect #3, sister to #1. Another full on day!

Good morning from a soggy Dorset. £225 from uncle Ernie this month. Thunderstorms forecast for midday, will see how that affects the turnout for our walking group, only 5 turned up last week, we're usually in the mid teens.

Walkies has been walked..
I love the smell of wet dog in the morning 🐶

Morning.
Showery and a bit breezy. Hoping to get out for a spin if I can, may need to time it between showers. Otherwise some weights.
Ongoing investigation into why my petrol strimmer not running. It's lasted 28 years so I can't say not had moneys worth but if I can fix it I will rather than buy another. Too much stuff gets disposed of these days rather than repaired.

As for Premium Bonds a nice £600.

Morning all

Got some parcels to post first thing, then back in my workshop fettling the Raleigh Wisp. I think I may have put my finger on the problem after stripping out the flywheel magneto, points, condenser and coil. Will see if my thoughts were correct.
Might nip down to the Star for lunch.
£375 on PBs this month.

The dog has been walked i too love the smell of a damp dog.
The water butt is now full, I am thinking of buying another and linking the two together to make 420ltrs capacity.
£100 from Uncle Ernie this month, nowt for MrsP though.

Nice and wet here this morning after raining non stop since 9:30 last night with more to come .

Got some stuff planted out yesterday so they all have got a good watering in, also did a bit of tidying of pots and disposing of stuff that hasn't survived or re-grown.

Today will be a chill day although the Stayer All Road rear tyre is down again so will investigate that and may do some more sifting through stuff to sell or send to the chazzers.

Slow stroll round the riverside trail loop done. Pretty quiet with just one runner, one cyclist and one dog walker.

£200 from Ernie for me.
