Hope it’s warm and dry, as much for the musicians as the audience!

It was dry 👍
It'd rained up until an hour before they started, then the sun came out ☀ 🎷

People flocked there in their 10's!!
Even the vicar turned up to serve orange squash 😎

Sent off some more queries for an apartment. One came back negative, one invited me for a visit.

We're attempting to fit roof bars to my new Honda CR-V. Son no. 2 has taken over as I'm apparently useless at it.

Hot day up to 22.6C and set to continue tomorrow.
The sportif tomorrow has got a record entry level of nearly 500 apparently so will be starting in two lots The long route at 0800 and the shorter one at 0900. Mass start with a lead vehicle for the first half mile which is on double width road rather than single track which is most of the remainder.
The first ferry does not arrive until 1041so the chaos of meeting a mass of cyclists should be avoided as the long route ones will be past the terminal well before that tho' they will meet traffic from the south end heading for the ferry. Probably not too many on a Sunday morning tho' when we did time trials traffic volume was surprising.
Quite comical as I was on duty at the finish with an orange waistcoat and clipboard. The local plod who was also a cyclist stopped for a chat as he was passing and panic ensued with oncoming traffic slowing down dramatically when they saw the clipboard and stopwatch with a police car in attendance.

I am watching Hungary v England.

Painting put away for today. OK, it's line-and-wash, but hey...

Half time in the footy. Time to put some presentable clothes on, stick some money in my purse, gather up my bags and head off to Tesco for a spot of yellow stickering.

See y'all on t'other side.

This has given me a B52s “Rock Lobster “ ear worm. 🦞🦞🦞 Will you know you’re better when you can eat the real thing?

This morning’s gig went very well. I took clothes pegs to hold the music on the stand so then had to use my foot to stop the stand blowing over. Little children were dancing and that always makes me happy.

I may go to work Monday. I may go to store after, as I usually have to be the selector of seafood.

About two minutes ago you may have heard a large explosion from the direction of south Germany.

Do not be alarmed: I just sneezed.

 

[PeteXXX]

A pea bounced of my plate and left buttery bimble marks across the table!

Those musicians are in short sleeves! We were all in jackets and I was on the edge of asking the drummer for a hug to help warm up afterward. My sax, which is as reliably sharp as the day is long, barely made it up to pitch. Still good though, and all credit to the audience who stayed shivering through the whole set.

The wind was very gusty, but not atall cold. I started off in my Altura Night Vision, ended up taking it off whilst watching.

Well that picture does not look right there so the search for it's location continues

 

[Pat "5mph"]

I always take some seed to add to the wildflower meadow in the churchyard where someone dear to me is buried, and I've promised some to @Pat "5mph" for her community garden thingy as well.

Thank you so much for the kind offer, I have loads at the moment

As heavy rain is 'due' tomorrow, maybe I'll make a start on a small suitcase of family photos, some 100years plus old, left to me by my late mum, bless her. I plan on sorting them into large envos of individual family members and then decide what to do with them for the best. Everything from large framed to ones about 25mm square, to albums like the one my dad did just after they were married, entitled simply 'Us'.
Going to be an interesting project.

If you're intending to write anything on them, use a pencil not a pen.
