You'd be better with some Tweed Plus 4's I reckon.. 👍🏼

I have my flu jab at 16.54. I'll report back how it went, later.. 💉

Car insurance price comparison is mentally draining. The red telephone company and Aviviviviva want twice as much as everyone else!

Morning.
It is grey here . I think they said that it should brighten up later .
I hope a litre of lacquer will arrive today. I sprayed the inside of a door yesterday and I was hoping to spray the other side today .

Puts Silverstone to shame doesn't it. Jonathan Palmer & his MSV organisation have got the place back to its best.

Thruxton BTCC race 3 just finished on my BT box. Now on to Sunday's Silverstone meeting which I should have watched by the time Croft is on TV.

Aye about time too, the locals are still peeved off that they lost the Moto GP, I'm friends with the guy that owns the Donnington Park Barn Hotel next to the circuit.

For those of you who have damp and grey weather.Here in Newbiggin by the sea,Northumberland it's hot 🔥🔥 🔥.And oh so sunny

Mind, I guess it's a throwback from my girl guiding days, because we learned, not just how to identify different species of tree, but also how to identify edibles in woods, hedgerows etc. It was right up there with building emergency shelters from bracken, lighting a camp fire without matches, that sort of thing...

Back in my undergrad days at Brunel, I used to make an absolute killing in chestnuts every autumn as there were several trees on campus that were good, reliable croppers. Again, no one used to pick them, but that was probably because the casings are hellaciously prickly.

It's been an exceptional year for walnuts this year, both in terms of quantity and quality. I think I've got something like 20 kilos so far...

I used to love rubbing two dry Boy Scouts together to light a camp fire and those pointy things that you used to prise Boy Scout out of horses hooves

Nice to get a weekend away, even if it wasn't to to what I'd originally intended. Saturday was cold & breezy, but Sunday was the complete opposite. Lighter winds, unbroken sunshine and pleasantly warm. Did absoluteley nothing except sit in the chair trackside at Donington and watch the on track action. This was just before the last race at around 6pm

Back to mundane normal on Monday however with ironing, changing the bedding and then work.

Just a bit. I haven't been to Donny in a while, but it looks superb.

You're in for a treat when it comes to the Silverstone BTCC. The best meeting of the year and then some.

Here's my Strava of pedalling around ~ Donington ~

I doubt they do it anymore, but you could turn up on, I think, a Wednesday evening, pay £1 and ride around the circuit until you got fed up, or when they closed!
It added to the racetracks I've done. Silverstone, Santa Pod and the Northampton International Raceway (banger & hot rods)..

You'd better think about it.

Are you taking up golf ?

Busy morning on the bird feeder!
Tits, blue and coal, Goldfinches and the inevitable squabbling Starlings..
Plus, obviously, pidgeons patrolling the base waiting for an crumbs to land near them.

 

[Archie_tect]

We don't get starlings or sparrows at all any more... there's a growing family of jackdaws that visits though... 16 at last count! The blackbirds and robin scavenge the dropped bits.

 

[PeteXXX]

Not too many jackdaws, rooks or crows, here, but we do get magpies and the occasional Jay.
We did have a sparrow last spring, then two, then quite a few fledglings but haven't seen them for a while.
Once the natural food from nearby fields is gone, they'll all be back, hopefully.
