Wishing Boris a speedy recovery, the thought of Raab in charge doesn't bear thinking about.
While Boris is far from being my cup of tea, I thought Raab's daily brief yesterday was lacklustre. He has no character......one thing you can't say about Boris!

Broke curfew this morning 😯 but only to put a couple of empty beer cans in the recycle bin which is out for collection this morning.
A glorious sunny day, as I looked North I saw a skein of geese flying high and heading West.
Hope they're not heading for Cornwall, they'll get turned back at the border, funny beggars them Cornish 😁
We saw a skein of geese** yesterday......(2 actually) but very strange as the first lot were flying south then 30 minutes later the secong lot flying north.
Similar size skeins of about 20. Almost as though they had gone south then changed their mind.
** couldn't tell you what sort they were.

Morning all :hello:

I've decided to tackle the rear of the bungalow today. Should be able to get it done in a day. That just leaves the west facing end to do, but I need a ladder to get up to the eaves - so that may have to wait a day or two. I'll probably paint the front wall in the meantime.
Told the missus that it was the last time I paint the place - next time I'll pay someone else to do it.
Still, it's all looking nice and fresh. :okay:
The so called experts say people over 55 should't climb ladders.
I did until my mid 60s but not happy doing it now apart from the single story extension roof.

Morning peeps.
What a beautiful day.
This morning will be the exercise bike, weights and situps. I will have the radio on , take my time and pad it out.
This afternoon we plan to do what the cold weather of Sunday/Monday didn't allow which is sunbeds, chairs and table together with bread, cheese, ham and some wine. Surely it has to be warm today :wacko:

Just like I speculated then, being turned back at the Cornish border 😁
( nice pasties though)

On BBC2 tonight "Inside the Factory" is a factory producing 180,000 pasties per day. It also explores some of the myths about pasties.
Over the years we have holidayed in Cornwall many times. We have enjoyed some lovely pasties but also some/many real crud ones.
