Good morning all. Another rainy day in prospect here. I don't mind that at all.

I shall go to Wimbledon again for the meet up, it only takes an hour to get there from my house as the train service is really good. My local service ftom New Barnet to Highbury, 21 minutes, Victoria line, trains every couple of minutes to Vauxhall, 10 minutes, and then a SWT train to Wombleland, 7 minutes, again a very frequent service. Then a 5 minute walk.
People moan a lot, sometimes justifiably sometimes not, but for the most part it works really well in London with alternative routes should something go wrong.

My new water butt is out for delivery today, not bad as I only ordered it yesterday.

Enjoy your day everyone

Hinge and Bracket walked.

Was bright when we left the house but now threatening rain.

Much cooler on the riverside today. Windy so will get some washing done.

Apologies for the deteriorating weather..
I bought a new bottle of P20 so, obviously, it's my fault 🤦‍♂️

Morning all

Got to take MrsDs car in to Minehead this morning for its service and MoT.
Doggie walking and lunch at the Star afterwards.

Got stuck in to the Wisp yesterday trying to get to the root cause of its non running problem. Couldn't see anything obvious. This engine is SO frustrating!!

Morning all, it seems that knocking concrete off of a wall using a large hammer and bolster is not good for my hand arthritis, a tad painful this morning but the job is done. Have a happy day everyone.

Morning.
Wet and windy. Back to autumnal weather it seems.
Some admin and chores this morning, some weights later.

I'm thinking electrical issues as it's not mechanically seized ? ( I also spotted the shaft takes a Woodruff key )

Morning, the thingy made a loaf without supervision......
just wait until AI starts eating it, then we will all be stuffed.
Mind you if AI was running the police force, it may be a better and safer place.

Bright start here but now clouding up and showers predicted from mid-morning on.

Hopefully replacement coffee order will be delivered by DPD after they lost the first one.

Nothing much planned today but may pop on the turbo this afternoon.

Good morning from a soggy Dorset. This mornings walk will take me into Poole. My daughter sent me a voucher for Lush, the shop is right down the bottom of the High Street. It's a decent walk if I go the " Pretty " Way, Trailway, Roman Road, cut through the grounds of Upton Country Park and around the Holes bay road next to the water. I have 2 hours of Podcasts cued up ( The Rest is History, the fall of Saigon )
Meeting friends for lunch at Toby Carvery, they sent me a " Birthday Voucher " which expires in a few days.
