There was something on the TV yesterday saying that people should have an emergency kit so that in an emergency they could survive for 3 days .
I had better make some sandwiches!

Cloudy but dry and forecast is for a dry day with a SW wind.
Wait for an hour or two and if it is still ok may get the trike out. I am getting really fed up doing the same runs and need to get some variety but volume of traffic makes that a problem. I do not expect to be off the island again for 3 or 4 weeks. The last time I was off the weather was foul and I got no cycling but did get a change of scene.

A neighbour has got a new priority parking sign put up as she has mobility problems and needs to park close to her house. Looks very official so since the council refuse to give me a blue badge space I asked her how she managed to get this.
£4.99 from a south American River was the answer. Would you like me to get you one? Certainly.
The area where we park is not part of the highway and the council deny ownership. I know this to be untrue but there is no documentation as when we became part of Strathclyde they immediately dumped as many old records they could get their hands on.

Currently sunny but forecasted to be replaced by cloud from c.10 to c.5. Also no wind which is rare on a recycling day. Lawns to cut and Lidl to be shopped.

Good morning from a cloudy, cool and blustery Suffolk. Coffee has been had and I am considering whether to get the hair clippers out or not.

As I have a tip run booked for Thursday to get rid of the old mattresses, I will be cutting the grass this afternoon so that the clippings can be disposed of at the same time.

A bit dull and overcast in Kirkcudbright this morning. A leisurely ride to Dumfries planned. Unsure whether to just go with Sustrans or do something different.

Good morning. Woken up by thunder and apocalyptic levels of rain. I'm pretty sure I saw @classic33 and his three mates riding past.

You never waved!

Questions
Wouldn't it be quicker, and easier, to use a lawnmower to cut the grass not hair clippers?
If you're cutting your hair, not the grass. How much hair are you planning on cutting?

Washer unexpectedly on, with the lack of sun,now, and wind I was not going to put any washing out but then a bottle of mould prevention fell out of a cupboard in the bathroom and broke. Floor mats and large towel now making sure the washer is mould protected.

Talking of mowing lawns a friend came and cut our back lawn whilst I am out of action and I reckon they did it blindfolded 😂

Doom and Gloom Areas prone to flooding.Might be a good idea to get a canoe

As long as I have a stock of Marmite I will survive

It may have been someone else, then I'd really feel silly.

Afraid they'd not acknowledge you waving?

Wait for city fibre to come calling then you will really see chaos they really don't care what mess or problems they brings. It was common to just let pedestrians with no option but to walk into live fas flowing traffic. We 1st had cable installed by then yorkshire fibre later taken over by virgin. They got paid my the metre so no sooner had they dug something up along came the crew filling it and down went the tarmac.
