You've earned a day off, there's always tomorrow 👍

Thanks but not according to the weather!
I am listening to Ken Bruce at the moment . It will soon be time for Pop Master!
In the meantime I will think about a ride or not . My hands are going pale which isn't a good sign ! Shame as it looks lovely out .

When I swift on my tablet it says that my data isn't backed up !

A long way ?

WIth evidence ?

Seems the nice bright morning earlier was just a false dawn.

It's pouring rain now and basically dark

Why can't he have today?

 

[Illaveago]

Our rubbish bin has bin out and bin emptied . I have filled up my box of tablets .
Meanwhile I have been wondering which bike to ride . Carlton Clubman , Carlton Cobra, Dawes Red Feather, or Holdsworth Avanti ?
I can ponder over it during Pop Master .

I'm updating the latest LibreOffice version. It's 7.2.1.2 if you're interested.

 

[PeteXXX]

So do I, But I couldn't let the nonsense pass.

Why do I get the blame?

I'm not blaming you or anyone 🤗

BTW Bin's have bin emptied.. 👍

Perhaps graupel?

Like watery snow pellets.

Phew, that's a relief! Who knows how we would survive a gropple invasion?

I was planting up some pansies & violas this morning as a Sainsbury’s van pulled onto the kerb. Lady gets out and asks me where I want my shopping put, front or back door.

I'd loved to have accepted it, but we hadn't ordered anything. Turns out she should have gone to No 39,not our house

Who said he can't have today ? Not that l am entirely sure what "have today" means

Cool, bright and blustery here chez Casa Reynard.

I slept better last night, but I had to succumb to putting an extra throw on the bed and dig out a baggy t-shirt.

Anyways, I spent the morning doing some writing and making a big cauldron of minestrone soup. I used the dented can of tomatoes I picked up for 15p on sticker last week. It really does help when you open a dented can inside a plastic bag.

Might try cutting some grass this afternoon if the rain holds off.

It is almost time for lunch.

Oh, and my blue recycling wheelie bin was emptied this morning.

Seems like a day late is where we're at around here.

I felt rather old yesterday, while watching "Pointless". Tis not Pointless itself that makes me feel old, btw.

One of the contestants said he found a new hobby. Turns out this was "exploring towns without using technology" !

I think I have had that hobby for more than half a century. No just tiny towns either, Lyon, Stockholm, Amsterdam, Bergen, Barcelona, and A Coruna, which is just the first half dozen off the top of my head.

For the benefit of our Foreign Correspondents, Pointless is a light-hearted quiz, but you need good general knowledge to succeed.
