Good morning from a nicely warming Suffolk where it's been a bit of a cloudy start to the day. The first coffee of the day has just been had and there's a bowl of porridge waiting to go into the microwave once the milk has soaked in a bit more.

Simply because I can, today will be a nice little 50 mile bike ride to build up an appetite for lunch and a couple of drinks before getting the train home.

Buses behaved themselves to find myself in the hospital 30 minutes early and a sign saying they are running 45 minutes late already The free day ticket actually was recognised by the ticket machines this time. Next to quiz a driver on what day ticket it actually is, suspect its not valid to Leeds.

All will be well when local government run the buses. After all they do a great job of every thing else.

The proposal is for franchising not direct control. Its already happened in Manchester where the services have been put out to the cheapest tenderer who meets the specification. The fares and timetables are set centrally but the day to day operations are on the hands of First, Go-Ahead etc.

A house on my street was bought by someone who hasn't moved in nine months later. Someone in there has been using a band saw ALL DAY and it's loud.

As long as they're not taking suitcases out & catching a train to Bristol

No flying ants here. But still plenty of slugs.

Our lawn grass in the evening is covered with slugs.

After the hour late hospital appointment I walked to the bus station as it was quicker than waiting. Indeed the bus I would have caught was late so I would gave only just made the connection. Have to go back tomorrow to be relieved of some of red stuff again and then on Tuesday to discuss some new tablets they want to try me on. No cycling this weekend then should the weather permit such. Good job work class it as a permitted reason not to be working without taking leave.

Like many others, ours is in serious trouble but the outgoing leader got the praise of the new Labour MP for his good work. From what I can gather, he was not popular.

Back from a pleasant sunny bike ride that involved popping in to say hello to granddaughter.
Seems like a good time to read a book for ½ an hour before having a snooze 👌

Warm and sunny, but it is now clouding over.

Slept well, monthly is over but still feel tired and stressed. But the new fridge freezer is being delivered this afternoon, so hopefully that will be one less thing to worry about. The only potential hiccup is that the old fridge and freezer are stacked on top of each other, but both are cleaned out and dry, so should be easy enough to move, I hope.

Anyways, I have done a load of laundry, and it is hanging outside, and I have moved the saw horse and wood bin from under the utility room porch, and I have also swept the utility room (magnet for sawdust) and the path, and have removed the rugs from the floor. That way there won't be any impediment for the trolley thing.

Need to make sure Madam Lexi is in the house, so that she doesn't climb into the delivery van.

Anyways, it is almost time for luncheon. An early one today to make sure I'm ready.

I'd be shooting against the prevailing wind...

Otters are not popular locally here after massacring a lot of hens and ducks even tho' they were apparently securely locked up.
Touroid love them of course but they only see one side.

Where was it 'Ring Of Bright Water' was filmed where the local hit the Otter with a spade

Never any parking spaces available when you need one
