Good morning from another sunny day in Dorsetshire. Family are still with us which is great, they're certainly getting out and about and exploring the area. I will be off for a walk before it gets too hot, planning to head to Poole the more scenic way and collect my new specs.
Stay cool folks 😎☀️

Morning all.
Chilly but sunny and will soon warm up.
I am also listening to Tony Blackburn but with a coffee.
That a decent 8 hours sleep, broken for the usual 02.00 pee.
Trying to decide what to do.
Daughter is away and I have promised to let her dogs out for a run at 08.00. Grandson could do it but he works hard so I am letting him lie in today.
I need Aldi at some stage. It could keep till tomorrow but its then a 10.00 opening.
Decisions Decisions......none understands the pressure I am under.

Morning.
The inevitable sunny morning with heat rising.
Plan is meet cycling club for the regular Sat ride which is something I've done done for ages due to various circumstances.
Given the route it''ll be around 65miles for me with similar climbing so a decent day out. Hopefully legs up to it.

Down in Buxton to meet up with family, a balmy 14°C at the moment but supposed to get up to 25°C this afternoon, low humidity so it shouldn't be to bad. Going up to Corbar Cross for a walk once we all meet.

Morning all, sunny with a cool breeze again here.

Breakfast and two coffees downed, washing up done and hand washed some cycling caps; BH also made Hummus.

About to go in to the village for a bit of shopping and will do some fettling this afternoon.

Will also have a proper look in to getting an apple tv 4k as our tv box is getting increasingly glitchy with youtube and player , might just get a current one as the 'new' one due soon is getting most of it's upgrades for AI.

Good morning. It's going to be stinking hot. Bright sun. No cloud and no breeze. Today I will mainly be sanding and preparing for glossing. Possibly get to the glossing. We will see. Ironing next and then find the sandpaper.

I suggest we meet up over my G&T around 6.00 this evening!

Salut tout le monde.
I did manage to get myself a slot for 2 hours yesterday for my ride and I was very lucky because I got a puncture on the way back, 200 metres from home.
Of course, I walked it and realised then that I didn't take my pump or mini electric one with me.
I will not make that mistake again.

Had to be up early this morning

Yes - I know!!


anyway - got the car to Halfords to get the puncture repaired by 8 hoping I could just have a coffee in Greggs and it would be ready

turns out they have a lot of hangover work so it will be a while

anyway - it'll get fixed

SWMBO's son is coming round to help erect the WHite House Ballroom
or pergoda as it says on the box - about the same size anyway

but he is coming round "about lunchtime
and he will almost certainly be picking his wife up from work at about 3-3:30
so we won;t have much time

I don't think him Mum had explained how big it is!!!


ALl this fuss all the time is the fault of the Chancellor

I think my wife thinks that an Old Age Pension evaporates if you don't spend it quickly!!!
