Wife and daughter at Peterborough rowing regatta today, so I shall be left in peace with the Test Match.

It’s the Tour of Cambridgeshire tomorrow and for the first time I’m not taking part, but have decided to spend the afternoon at a pub in Yaxley watching them all cycle past.

If Carlsberg did weekends - they wouldn’t be any better than this one.

Might get rained on today at the cycle group meeting.Which could be a bad thing for i believe there is Test match cricket at Headingley.Well if they are rained off,they can go to the new fab Ice Cream Parlour just up the road.

 

[Speicher]

Just how big is the ice cream parlour? Twenty-two cricketers and all the linesmen, not to mention the speck tators will need a lot of tables and chairs.

No play yet because of rain.

Fantastic, beautiful day on the prairie. I had rose (or house) finches drop by my garage last night while I was oiling bike chains. They are very tame, for wild birds, and will come right in a large open door. Quite curious birds as well.

Another hot sunny day in Glasgow, so far.
Thunder storms forecast.

Just left Perth and I agree it's very hot.

I was so impressed by the TV programme " Money for Nothing" that I thought I would have a go myself. I thought I would up cycle my 75 mm shell into a drinks bottle !
If I could find a plastic liner and a large cork I'm sure I'd be on to a winner. It may be slightly heavy at 9lbs 2ozs but it would be extremely durable .

Two jobs acheived, kitchen cleaned, orchids soaked in rain water.

Day of jobs... laurel hedge trimmed at one side but the other hedge has the neighbour's car parked right up to it and they may not appreciate a hedge trimmer in close quarters with their paint. Hedge at rear of property trimmed also, and the clematis has been given a haircut now it's stopped flowering.

Last night of our holidays so we decided to stop off at Lyndon Top Campsite, Rutland Water on the way home.

A beautiful end to an amazing two weeks holiday.
