Evening.
I've been asleep for most of the day. Mild headache and feeling very tired. I told my friends that I wouldn't be able to make the cycle ride this evening.

Just when I said to the parental that this game had extra time and penalties written all over it...

Carpet fitting ongoing and judging by the noise they've found quite a few unexpected nails where the old stuff had been laid on the stairs

Mine was horrible with nails and grips all over. Took ages to remove them and I still missed some. Resulted in an unexpected use of more filler than I anticipated. Now painted with carpet stair tiles. Has individual steps.
Dry start but drizzle/rain all afternoon.
Giant spares order arrived this am so the new cover for the on ebike charge point fitted. Was a struggle getting the waterproof rubberised T Rex tape off that I had covered the charge point with and then a struggle fitting the cover until I heated the fitting plug section in the steam of a kettle. Discovered the fitting plug of the original was still there so I think a bit of that tape on the cover may be beneficial to reinforce it at the fitting end.

Anyways, time to feed the cat, and then it will be time to feed me.

Rain eventually stopped but still cold.
Seemed a busy day with all sorts of things going on but not sure what I actually achieved.
Found a tick on my leg which came off easily as it was fairly accessible.
The pot of stew I made seems good so 6 portions are now in the freezer.
Spent ages searching for a photo on an external drive which I tried to email but it has just vanished.
I did find a not too good one but the motorhome I had included for scale is not in it.
These are carved heads near the village of Errol which are pretty big and not something to come on suddenly on a dark night.

Have a good day wandering around the backwaters of North London. I'm just negotiating a polling day outing with daughter and 2 grandkids to the Norfolk or Suffolk coast.

I should be down again on the 30th and could venture as far as South Bank if you're around..

Nearly time for the evening brew

It is now raining and I have a piece of furniture in the back garden getting wet - it's a good job that this is the next piece destined for the recycling centre.

Managed to get out for an hour's walk while the work was ongoing and I'm now about to start the long task of shunting everything about again so the rest of the carpet can be laid on Tuesday.

My calendar looks very empty for the end of the month so let me know what you're up to.

Had a lovely supper of cold roast turkey, triple-cooked chips, Waldorf salad and some cranberry sauce on the side.

Have also won three of the four Bay of E lots I was after. Nothing overly exciting, just some stock car programmes.

Got the one I was really after, from 1981 and on my list of Things I Know I Need, which will make it one of the earliest items in my collection, plus two from 1982. The one I missed out on was also from 1982. The 1982 programmes are a bit of a shot in the dark, as that's the season I have the least amount of information on.

Of course, it will be the Law of Sod that the one I missed out on is one that I need, and that I won't need the two that I did snaffle. Having said that, if they are of no use, then I can always trade them for something else.

I survived the first day of work anyway. It feels as if I hadn't been away to be honest. That's the problem with holidays as reality is always waiting for you when you get home! My wonderful builder still hasn't fixed the railings around my balcony so I suppose I need to remind him but I hate doing it as he will just shout, insult and threaten like he usually does before telling me to "£$£ off.

I had an active two weeks and even after returning from tour, I fitted a lot into the past few days and I think tiredness has finally caught up with me this evening. I walked to the shop for a few things and did a little bit of writing for my blog but very little else. I will take an early night I think.

Ah man, Slovenia were SO unlucky. They really served it up to Portugal with a fantastic display of disciplined defending. A very intriguing game to watch.
