I have risen!

Few things planned for today..
Sort out Nationwide re join account. A bit of shopping as I'll be near a supermarket or two. That'll be few miles walked..
Garden needs tidying up; lots of summer plants & flowers are well past their best & it's Garden Bin day tomorrow.

Good morning all.
Sainsburys are delivering the weekly goodies this morning between 9 and 10, MrsP is out most of the day, pilates this morning and then coffee with the ladies, followed by her art class this afternoon, she is only in for about 30 minutes between the two. That leaves me free , so I'll have a walk with Millie and then get one of the bikes out for a ride.
I want to get a book out of the library and MrsP wants me to collect her prescription from the pharmacy on the way home, I might just call into the Mitre for an ale or two as a recovery drink.🍺

Good morning from a misty Dorset. Today is forecast to be sunny and warm. Bin day, walking group and collecting granddaughter from school. I have baked a fruit loaf ( or rather Mr Panasonic has ) which I will be taking with me to leave with them. Positive feedback from the Yorkshire Parkin I took last week, first time using oatmeal in a cake so wasn't sure how it would come out.
Speaking of Panasonic, I see that their latest model is a combined bread / ice cream maker🤔 ( not both at the same time unfortunately 😁). Looking at the specs it only makes 300-400g of ice cream, and you have to freeze the container for several hours before use. " Makes 7-8 Scoops of Ice Cream" then the asterisk says * each scoop is 50g. Price is £200 😳

Meeting with a fellow parish councillor this morning, then walk a package to the post office for Mrs D. Perhaps a Q afternoon.

First dog walk has been walked 🐶
More dog walking will occur this evening.

@Drago We'll have to arrange a dog session soon.. Maybe a caramel latte & a sponge finger at the garden centre, too 👌

 

[Drago]

That'd be great, although 2 dogs on my own at the garden centre might be a recipe for mayhem!

Morning all

Going on the stream train to Minehead this morning and walking the pup on the beach. Lunching in Watchet when we return.

Morning from sunny Leeds, I’ve woken up with a stinking cold

What about 3 dogs & 2 humans? 🤔

Good day all.
A slightly misty day here but going to be reasonable later so I will delay my walk.
Just one phone call to make and thats to arrange the recall for my car.
I dont think I've got Mr Gunks cold but I'm sneezing and have a snotty beak (thought you would want to know

Salut tout le monde.
Today is a very important day as we are going to buy more tea spoons.
Do you have this problem that you are always running out of tea spoons?
I don't know where they disappear to but they do, so we are buying a few more today and see how long they last before they vanish again.

Not been on for a couple of days so a quick recap.

Sunday; Lazy start then a walk to go to the Antiques centre and popped in the micropub on the way back.
Then watched NFL in the evening.
Yesterday; Watched second NFL game and Raiders highlights then some gardening ,replaced rear tyre on Stayer All Road.
Evening was quiz night with a bottle of red.
Today will be shopping this morning, do the front tyre on the Stayer and wait for parcel deliveries.

Have you tried chaining them to the kitchen benchtop?
