I gave my hair a no. 5 today. This was to match my newly trimmed beard.

Just had my hair cut for the first time in eight and a half months.

This morning, Jim Morrison was looking back at me in the mirror. Now, it's my dad.

It's nigh on 30 years since I cut my hair,

It's still raining here. I may need waders and a snorkel to head off to Tesco later.

I'm trying to think of ways to send my excess rain to @Andy in Germany and @woodbutcher as it sounds like they could use some.

I didn't go for a ride today because it is scary hot.

The plan is to make an nearly start and get back before the temperatures get too silly, but I looked at the weather report just now and the coolest it gets in the night is 20°c, egad...

I like the idea of a nearly start.

I think I have lots of those, when I wake up before 7am and nearly get up, but decide to go back to sleep.

There are also occasions when I nearly start to do some housework, but something much more interesting gets done instead.

It's nearly time for me to toddle off to Tesco for a few bits and bobs.

What's the problem?

What's the problem?

Says the person who complained all through December because of the lack of snow.

They kept on promising heavy snowfall though.

I've had a few of those recently, I've woken up early and looked at the clock then thought, "shall I ride" before turning over and going back to sleep.

Looks like a spot of rain is on it's way... ☔

My car insurence is up next month, I've just spent an hour on the comparison sites, at least Dick Turpin wore a mask.

Thanks for the reminder - mine will be due some time in August which will mean a bit of time on the various comparison sites and then back to Priviledge to get them to price match.

Two pieces of good news:

1 - It appears that I was successfull in removing all the grain from my boots as there was no 'princess and the pea' moment at work this morning
2 - There is one less chocolate Easter bunny in this world.

There were about a dozen cases of assorted meat on YS in Tesco - mostly chickens, meatballs and an array of BBQ stuff, but nothing that took my fancy, so I left the other regulars (Duck Chap, Mr Moustache, Asian Cyclist & Nigerian Guy) to it.

I did get salmon, tuna, cooked turkey, vegetarian sausages, ready to use pizza dough, tubs of spicy tomato and bean soup, green beans, tenderstem broccoli, mushrooms, tangerines, pears, raspberries, two bunches of bananas, a raspberry & frangipane tart, some croissants and eleven chestnut maran eggs.

So a reasonably successful evening.

Still trying to figure out what Duck Chap is going to do with his haul of meat. He had a big trolley and it was completely full.
