I am also wondering how @postman is getting on.

It is Mr Hebe’s birthday. Amongst other less mundane celebrations he has read our water meter and secured a very large reduction on a surprisingly large bill. Not sure whose meter our bill was based on but it definitely wasn’t ours.

Better weather must be on it's way as my neighbour is putting up his gazebo and putting fabric covers on seats and benches.
OTOH Easter weekend is approaching and he will have relatives from Glasgow coming to visit so they will be out in the garden as the house is not big enough to cope with all of them. I notice he has dusted off the BBQ as well.
Some tourists have out of date ideas of our island and on FB ask if anything will be open over easter ie shops and eateries. Greed rule nowadays and they may be grabbed off the street and their wallets emptied if they are not careful.

Smashing ride with grandson and a mate with his lady and his kiddies twice around Salcey Forest..
At 10½ miles, it's his longest ride ever, plus walking the dog for 1½ miles before we went. He'll sleep well tonight
