Wet and windy with ferry disruptions forecast. Not looking good in the immediate future either so I think I got the best of the weather in the last week.
Found 4 bags of coal beside my door this morning which I did not expect until next week. Problem is I now have to shift them round the back of the house where they should have put them.
New supplier and they never bothered knocking on my door to tell me when they delivered.
Need to get my sack barrow from the top garden as I can hardly lift them. Only 20K each and in my farming days I sometimes carried 10 stone bags tho' getting those on my shoulder was not easy. Normal lift was 1cwt and hay and straw bales were also pretty heavy to shift. Probably illegal nowadays to manhandle such weights. { Or should that be personhandle }
Why do I now in old age have back problems?

I managed to stay awake long enough to drive to Morrisons to get a couple of plants for my Mums birthday and some flowers for my daughter ( still recovering from long covid) Was walking through fruit/veg aisle to see a stack of sweet clementines.... several were mouldy and worse there were fruit flies in the packages! Suffice to say I told an employee and didn`t buy any. I think my pet household spider would have liked Morrisons 🕷😄
I wonder if I delivered those 🤔

Georgie is practising his hunting skills on Wood Pigeons in our garden . I was just watching him hiding behind a sand box , keeping low and wiggling his rear end before takeoff! He was close but the pigeon flew off .

Just back from horse care/training duties , the "chasse au sanglier" are roaming the area and as we came back to our house a huge black wild boar trotted across the road right in front of us , they missed that big boy !

That will probably happen today, I was working out accommodations for the camera and the like last night. I found a nice Lowe-Pro that will fit, and it has a rain cover somewhere. I also have a rack top bag that is made for photo equipment, although it is a bit long in the tooth.

Oh my word I have had my hearing aids sorted.The ends were worn and the tubes were in need of replacing.But what is better I have had an app put on my phone,this phone is more up to date than my previous ones so I now have an app called BeMore oh boy going to have some fun with this.
Another thing what a difference this morning to my attitude.I have had coffee with one of my cycling buddies,he was out on his electric bike,we had a great catch up so much so we are going for a breakfast next Saturday with another of my mates,who will need cheering up after having an operation next week,it's been a good day so far.
