When we had an extension built about 20 years ago all we could afford at the time was a flat roof. It is a bit unnerving sitting there when it's raining hard as it sounds quite unsettling. Last year I got up there and added a coat of Thomson "10 year roof seal " We're fortunate in that one of our running aquaintances is a Builder, he popped round last week as we're thinking of converting the downstairs loo. While he was there I asked him about the roof and he said not to worry as it's in good condition and should last for a good 10-15 years more before it needs attention.

When I stayed with my Father in Mauritius, the bedroom I slept in had a corrugated iron roof.

When it rain heavily, I could not hear myself think.

Walking the dog was wet, tho delayed by 30min. The old railway line was quiet, only 2 dog walkers passed us, but the roads were manic, where there are roadworks they were queuing through the temporary lights.

Good morning from an overcast and very blustery Suffolk. My legs have just about recovered trying to make progress into the headwind along Felixstowe seafront on this morning's ride to work. A little bit up the coast there were some kite surfers taking advantage of the wind & rough seas to have a bit of fun near the mouth of the River Deben.

It has been formally approved that of 1st March 2014 I will be officially retired

Will you get back pension?

Rain ceased so opportunity taken for a lunchtime stroll to the Co-Op. Parcel to return at the in store post office and had run out of bananas. Started raining on the return getting heavier such that it was a case of change the sodden jeans when I got home.

I've managed to book a blood donoring appointment for mid January. It'll be over 12 weeks after my October session si it's possible to do 😊

I tried to give blood today. So many questions! Whose blood is it? Why's it in a bucket?*

*Pretty much exactly the wording of a random Tweet a couple of days ago.

Cool, blustery and showery here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept ok-ish, but not as deeply as I'd have liked, so feeling a little tired. Rounded up my shopping bags this morning - it's crazy where they migrate to. Mind, I haven't been shopping for a month. I will have to go to Tesco this afternoon for some gubbins.

I have also picked about five kilos of tomatoes. Fortunately I shall be fobbing off half of those onto a friend tomorrow. I'll also have to make a big pot of tomato sauce, because a lot of them have split as a result of the heavy rain. I don't plan on making tomato chutney this year, but I may have to if the situation calls for it.

I will need to fill up Madam Lexi's dry food dispenser, and then it will be time for luncheon.

Lovely luncheon of two slices of wholemeal toast, one with Polish sausage, one with cream cheese, plus an apple, and orange and the obligatory two

Shopping list sorted, shopping bags folded up and good to go, and soft plastics prepped ready to drop off in the hopper en route.

It's chucking down with rain here. Lexi asked to go out, so I let her out, and she came straight back in again.

The Guardian has decided that I'm in Bradenstoke today. I had to do a search - it's somewhere in Wiltshire. The weather is about the same though. Perhaps we're climatically twinned.

It's next to RAF Lyneham. The road to it from Sutton Benger has slid away due to a land slip so there is a bit of a long detour .

It's also about 2 miles north of New Zealand, which I thought was somewhere else entirely!

It’s raining rather hard. Then it's not. Then it is again.
Windy, too!

Lots of people on here know things about cars.

I have a car that has a SORN (statutory off road notice) that I will be giving to a local engineering college. They particularly wanted older cars without complex electronics. I have got the V5 (aka Log Book) but cannot find a document that stating that it is SORN.

The person from the college will fill in the V5, do they need a piece of paper saying it is SORN, or do they take ownership and then SORN it in their name? Does anyone know or where to find out on the relevant website please?

Extremely windy here, even more so than usual.
