Morning all
Dull and showery here.
Off to Tool Zone in Minehead first thing to pick up some threaded rod, then Tescos for a bit of shopping before taking the pup for a walk if it's not tipping down. She really doesn't like getting wet.
Sounds like my kind of dog !

Grey and chilly but dry at the moment here in the East but rain forecast from around 11:00 for the rest of the day.
Had a mooch in the garden, breakfast and coffee .
Will nip to the shops and market in a while and might actually get on the turbo this afternoon, otherwise more sorting out stuff to get rid of.

Morning.
Wet and misty here. Forecast for weekend is better but it's been downgraded from potentially another hot spell to just warm.
A day of indoor chores and I'll be packing bike to head away for weekend from tomorrow. Combining weekend away with wife doing some marathon walk thing, me riding and then on Sunday moving youngest out of Uni house as she's finished.

I used to be the goto in the family for passport stuff as I used to be a teacher
but since we got married I can;t do that anymore
have had a few neighbours ask over the years but not for ages
Similar here, Mrs Tkk retired Nurse, friends in various professions that fit the criteria but now retired.

Well its raining
that sort of rain that feels like it is set in for the day
sort of things where my dog would have pestered me to go for a walk (she liked her routine)
and gone mad when I picked up the lead and opened the door
then stuck her nose out and turned back to go back to her bed!!
but we had a rule - normally 2 walks a day
but rain could cancel one if it was bad enough
but never 2 in a row no matter how bad the rain was
I wouldn;t mind - she was an Alsatian (GSD in metric) and lived outside a lot
so her coat was waterproof
one shake and she was dry
I had to change everything sometimes and hang clothes all over the house to dry
she was already dry and curled up behind the sofa!!!

2007 Mo, the year I left Minehead on 28th May and arrived back in Poole on 4th July experiencing what was described at the time as " the wettest June in living memory " 🙂
Still raining in Minehead...
