Ebay emailed me to tell me an item that I had viewed has been re-listed.

Did it ever occur to them that if I didn't buy it in the first place, then I still don't want to buy it in the second place!

I'm going to push a vacuum cleaner around the house this morning while MrsPete flicks stuff with a duster.
We might have to go to the shops later, too.

Living the dream

To buy more dust ?

Good morning. trying to see if I can combine trains and cycling on the way back to Freiburg to explore a bit if the Black Forest.

So far not much luck due to inconveniently placed hills.

Ooo. I found this one:

Shorter than previous attempts: just under 100k if I stay on the train a bit longer.

A lot of upness though...

It is nice and sunny here this morning.
I have put our rubbish bin out .
I was watching some boaty peeps bobbing up and down on the water. I don't know how they play their game .

I have two buddleja out the back that are going well this year, ones made 10 foot and the other 8 foot, they were sold as a miniature variety that would grow to a max 4 foot tall.

Buddleia will take over the whole garden if not careful.

If you build up, and hold your speed, you should be able to go over that hump just after the half way point with minimal input from yourself.

Son is back from Taiwan so I am trying to get over for a visit. Went down to Calmac local office and it is shut until next Monday. Aaaargh.
Had a job getting parked as well so just abandoned the car and put up my blue badge.
Try the call centre and got a recorded voice saying “ go away and try again another day”. Persisted with various other offices and eventually got a real person. If I want to travel on Saturday the next available booking is September 25th.
Cannot do it on line as I have concession cards which the system cannot handle and they will not take booking unless it is full price.
Eventually got bookings but not the times I wanted.
I should get one of these cars for the tourist season.

Thats why they get pruned in the spring, I've seen them allowed to grow wild and they've grown into large tree's

Say you'd have to pay her less if you do any of the work. You pay by results.

It has started raining really heavily. Really overcast too, I had to switch on the light.
