I just ordered some Isolation IPA. They're local lads, proceeds to the NatEmergTrust

As mentioned last week, I pressure washed the recycling bin after the chaps had emptied it earlier.

Ahhh, I love the smell of Jeyes in the morning....

The Fragrant MrsP and I have just had afternoon tea, lapsang souchong tea, in a teapot, with cups and saucers, fresh scones, with clotted cream and raspberry jam, then a nice piece of fruit cake. Just a little treat in these tedious times.

I overslept... But a girl's gotta catch up on her beauty sleep sometime...

Have spent the day cutting the grass nettles. The garden looks a lot better for it, and i can now see most of the massive drifts of forget-me-nots. I love forget-me-nots. Along with white roses and daffodils, they're my favourite flowers.

Tomorrow I'll start tackling the orchard.

I am now sat here with a and a packet of crisps.

Castrol R and hot tyres for me.

Hopefully the wind should be slightly lighter today - the 20+mph easterlies of the past few days have resulted in me using some very strong language at times on the work from home commute rides.

Looks like it's better today. I could hear you from here yesterday...

Today's theme in the photography challenge is "Smiles"

Dug into the 1991 volume of my Paul Warwick archive for this one. I've always loved this photo of Paul - and his smile.

shoot! Two coppers are now in the park!!!

They've got to have their exercise too.

I’ve just had a cuppa and the last of the Lindt chocolate bunny.

Still got a fair bit of mine & the Christmas chocolate bear.

In other news, I've mown the back lawn & walked down the road between the trees.

Just for the sake of wasting a bit of time l have been scanning the Guardian newspaper this am. when l came across the headline "Bicycles are the New Toilet Paper" in Australia. My the Aussies are a bunch of "hard asses"

The independent was having a whine about cyclists yesterday: https://www.independent.co.uk/life-...down-coronavirus-rules-exercise-a9476196.html

Been a busy lad. After painting the arbour yesterday, the summer house needed a top up, so that took me a couple of hours this morning. Impressed with the Cuprinol Colours paints - they last really well ! The arbour is a pale blue and cream, and the summer house is a pale bluey green, and cream inside. I, however, am partially blue/green as round the side of the summer house was tricky to get to.

Got busy with the rust killer, after making a great job of the rusty candle lamps with it, another candle holder was done (outdoor). At least the rust won't destroy the lamps now, just adds to the distressed look. Mrs F happy with the results. Sun tan coming on great !

Flat breads with ham and melted cheese for dinner today. Having burgers for tea later.

I forgot to mention that for lunch we had homemade carrot and coriander soup, I made it last night.

Makes me thirsty just looking at it!

Thanks for that I will try it later.

Went into settings and predictive text is already turned off so may be an Apple quirk. No idea why but cannot get any other system to work. I have a PC where the software is already so scrambled as to be useless.
