On the bbc news, the on screen text stated that "Mohamed Ali was admired for his lettuces."

Why is it that when someone like this dies everything else is shoved to one side and we get wall to wall coverage?

Breakfast

We are at Sweets, West Hay a cafe recommended by Jo and quite clearly a cyclists cafe.

Brilliant morning on the levels. Just missed an otter, heard the bitterns and their boom boom call. Saw marsh harriers,small egrets,great crested grebe,swans,bullfinches,damsel flies and lots more. I could have sat in the hide for ages. Jo has taken thousands of photos which i am trying to get her to post as an album on CC.

Good Morning one and all. It is overcast here but looks like it will brighten up later. Him Indoors is glossing the bathroom and I get to do the ironing, our lives are just one big thrill sometimes.

Evening meal was a tomato tart. Australian tomatoes taste so much nicer than UK ones. Even the tinned versions!

We've had 60mm (over 2.125 inches) of rain since 9am. It's now 7:30pm. It rained harder yesterday and overnight.

It's still raining.

Just back from a 5 mile run around Hyde Park, it's very busy with runners, walkers , dogs cyclists. If you have to live in London this is the area to live in if you have the money.

It's a lovely morning.

I'm sat outside the garden centre in Countesthorpe with a coffee and beans on toast, and the suns just came out.

You know when you get up so late that a fish finger buttie is an option for breakfast. That.

(I do miss him hugely)

If I get to Vernon, Illinois, I shall have to take a picture of it for you all, if I can stop and get out of the car. All along that area, there are signs telling you not to stop on the road, nor pick up hitchhikers, due to its proximity to the state prison farm.

What I am about to say may be too extreme for mundane news so avert your eyes now. My wife decided that it is gardening weather and the area behind the greenhouse needed tidying, so shifting pots and undergrowth in order to dig and plant some purple sprouting. It was going well until frogs started popping out. We had disturbed Frog Ville, 5 large ones, one about an inch long , one of last year's models and 2 tiny wee ones, this year's models. We caught some and put them in a shady area but they had other ideas. We have now placed some roof tiles along the side of the greenhouse to give them a sheltered area to hide under.
Whilst I was working in another area I saw another tiny frog in the grass, so it shows that some of them are leaving the pond.

It is far too warm here to do anything strenuous, fortunately I rarely do anyway

There will be car washing going on later in preparation for it's MOT in the morning, unlike some I prefer to wash my own and not give my money to the East Europeans
