I'm nearly up.

Looks like all the locks on Love Lock bridge, Bakewell, are going to have to be removed as the bridge needs some maintenance..

Good then keep removing them once new ones appear. They are a mess and in some cases have even threaten to being down bridges due to extra weight. Matlock bath removed them a few years ago because of that plus it was getting out of control.

There's a lot of them all over world.. It started in Serbia a century ago, apparently.

A lovely morning stroll completed 7.5k steps so about 3.5 miles.
First cuppa brewing.
Cloudy today but dry.

Going to treat myself to an Aldi custard cream

Damp looking morning but not currently raining. Forecast is not encouraging.

Off early to drive 21 miles to the local hospital for an appointment with somebody described as a heart specialist. No idea why as I have a cardiology appointment in Glasgow in a couple of weeks.
Might stop at the Spar shop in Salen on the way down for a bit of food shopping as I am running seriously low on some things.

Bright yellow seems to be the latest fashion colour for new cars. There are a couple resident here as well as some vans.
Several others look like touroid. Certainly conspicuous but otherwise not for me.
We did have an old Ford van once which I hand painted yellow and it was dubbed "The Yellow Peril". My wife used it for a school run but the exciseman's wife refused to let her kids travel in it after she noticed a hole in the passenger side floor. It was useful as a second vehicle for all sorts of jobs as the main car was needed for business purposes.

Oh, that kind of lock! I started off thinking that you were talking about canal locks but Bakewell would be a strange place to run a canal through.

Think the birds must read this forum, peanuts noticeably gone down. Blue tit this morning spent ages working out what it wanted, seeds or peanut; like watching a kid in a sweet shop.

Another dreich morning but another day closer to the weekend.

I opened a new bag of porridge oats this morning. My life is incredibly exciting!

Hmmm... I actually prefer the Scottish stuff that Tesco sell.

Keep an eye out for the Irish black pudding they sell. Made down the Midlands(of Ireland) that tesco sell.

Hoovering has been hoovered.. No songs were sung during the exertions 🕺

Don't think the Cavendish family would be happy to have a canal though the middle of the estate. Evicting people from a village to make a bigger garden well that's a different story.

All cuppas have gone down well so far.
Still cloudy but dry

DVLA eye test completed at Specsavers first thing this morning

Good morning. We're trying to reduce the backlog of kiddie bikes.

Most are for the scrap as they're badly damaged, or have part missing. Unfortunately parents expect to buy children's bikes for pennies, so it's not worth investing the time to repair them.
