Good morning from a sunny Dorset. We have an hour of " free " electricity today between 12:00 and 13.00. I plan to bake a cake, put the towels in a hot wash and fire up the immersion heater for a boost. First though, I must head out for a walk once coffee has been drunk☕️☕️

Morning all

Parking up at Williton and taking the train to Dunster and then walking back to Blue Anchor, hopping back on the next train down to Williton and then having lunch at the Railway Inn with our mates.
Weather's looking good, so should be a nice day.

Good morning all from a chilly but clear Cheshire.
Thr 'friends of' group are having an impact morning when the plan is to paint those benches and fence parts that have not been done yet. I will try and wake up for that.

There's several local groups who have meet ups to do various tasks like tidying and planting the common public spaces. There's also a bi weekly litter pick where folks meet up, get issued a hi viz vest, a bin bag and a picking stick before heading out around the area. I'm tempted to join and wear a fake ankle tag so people think " I never knew Kev was a wrong'un " 😁

The washing machine has done its thing. The bedding is now out on the line.
Off to a different park today with Millie, Grovelands in Southgate is nice, a big lake, woodland and a cafe..

Morning, I feel like 💩 both upper arms are sore
from the jabs yesterday and I ache all over, like I've fallen
down the stairs twice.

 

[SpokeyDokey]

Cold, grey and very gloomy. CH on early today.

Nondescript day ahead.

Have a happy day, all.

Good morning from a very busy Lancashire. A decent day ahead but not as good as yesterday's glorious sunshine. Many small tasks achieved so far along with two really tasty ones - six portions of moussaka are finishing cooling before going in the freezer, eight portions of Boeuf Bourguignon are in the oven, almost reached the point when I pop in the shallots, mushrooms and some cornflower to thicken it........I'm just giving the beef ten more minutes to soften a little more.

I'll try and crack on with the allotment in a bit. The last of the tomatoes to pick and roast with garlic and herbs for the freezer, then plants on the compost heap, runner and French beans need pulling out and likewise to the compost heap. I'll probably turn it over and seal up for the winter...............eee tha'll be grand stuff next year....................

Later this afternoon we're going to see #2 son. I'll bob into B&Q for guttering while Mrs P visits. He'll want to cuddle his Mum and will ignore me when I turn up.......................my role is Rovers, Mrs P's is cuddling!!
