Good morning all.
Another sunny start to the day here with temperatures set to get up to 22⁰c later on.
Sainsbury's are delivering the weekly goodies between 9 and 10 of the am clock.
More of the same today, continuing the exercise regime, a session on the turbo trainer and i will have a 1st pootle around the block on the bike in a very low gear to see how things go.
First mug of tea has been drunk and the 2nd is brewing.
Enjoy your day everyone.

Morning all.
Haircut for me, it really needs doing.

Not sure if I mentioned this but last year my SiL got me an electric mobility scooter. It's been mothballed over winter but with the warmer weather I am going out on it later.....going for a pub meal which is approx 1 mile away.
I will post a photo later.

Morning all

Another sunny day here on the coastal fringes of Exmoor.
Lawns to cut today.

Morning
Glorious day. Plan for today is drain and refill hot tub, take a mound of grass to tip after the post ride mow yesterday.
An hour or two in deckchair definitely on the cards later.
Dave7 has also reminded me, haircut badly needed as well so that will be combined with tip trip. Separate establishments though....

Said pile of grass, that a week's worth. This time of year can almost see it grow. That is the sea in background looking rather nice.

Morning. I got out of bed just after 4am, had a browse and cuppa then headed out at 5. 8 mile walk done with a couple of miles jogged.

Looks like we are in for another lovely spell of weather. It really has been quite a decent winter/spring for us.

Make sure the battery is charged so you can get back from the pub!

Good morning, another sunny day ahead, Fencers are arriving this morning to fit new panels and take away Mrs Tkk's shed. There's murmuring about a gazebo / summerhouse, I had a quick look online and thought " How effing much!! "
Perhaps Acro props and a green tarpaulin would be more affordable 🤔

I forgot to mention how last nights judging of the " Bluebell Bake off " went. A glorious sunny evening and we parked up on the green between the Vine at Pamphill and the entrance to the Kingston Lacy estate. We set up several picnic tables and I turned away so not to be biased as various people unloaded their offerings. Everyone set off for the a run / walk through the bluebell woods as Mrs Tkk and I judged the magnificent array of cakes. It sounds like heaven but really it's a very difficult job. In the end we compared notes and we had both judged the same cake as being the best. Eventually all the runners / walkers arrived back and after I announced the winner we all tucked in. Sitting in the sun eating cake and drinking beer, surrounded by birdsong from the woods and the effing idiot flying a drone.
Good news is that I don't have to judge next year as that mantle goes to this years winner. 🥇🎂

Or take the charger with you

Then "accidentally discover" that it need a top up before you leave and so you have to stay for another pint??

Up early this morning, worked for a couple of hours and popped out on the Brommie for a coffee and pastry. I do love this weather!
