Start climbing the walls, work your way across the ceiling and down the other wall.

Apart from this post that is.

Bungalow now painted fully, apart from the 4" black weather line around the back and side.
Managed to do the gable end without ladders. I duct taped the extending roller poll to another 8 foot extending pole and managed to reach right to the top. Easy peasy.
Off out for a ride on my Focus Cayo Di2 for the first time in ages, next.
Temperature out the front of the bungalow is reading 25° - so it will be a shorts and T shirt job.

Just under 32 miles on the hybrid. It was freezing. Garmin is saying average 41 degrees and it felt it.

What is 41 degrees in real money?

Seen a couple of Military transports fly over this morning.
Mrs Tenkay jokingly suggested that they might be planning to use Brownsea Island for quarantine or as "Boris's Bunker"

That brought to mind a TV series from the '70s, " The Survivors" I think it was called, where the principal characters were heading for the IOW

I posted this last week but we went to the 'big' M&S as the aunty likes their ready meals. Went for the over 70s hour.
Got there at opening time and (we thought) were about 50th in the queue outside. What we didn't know was that once inside it snaked all round the perimiter. It took nearly 2 hours to get 40 quids worth of ready meals.
We told the aunty "sorry, you will have to get used to Aldi meals as we are not doing that again".

Ah yes, now you mention it, I remember that post.
Today, after returning home from M&S/Lidl, we went for our daily walk. We passed our local ASDA, the queue of people waiting to get in snaked all around the car park, and must have numbered 200+.

Surely, having nothing to say, is a pre-requisite for posting?

Take 32 away, divide by 9, times by 5, and that'll be your answer.

Well that's another 32 miles chalked up. Avg 15.4 but it hurt towards the end. My body is clearly saying rest day tomorrow.

A Shinook helicopter flew very low , past our house last night. It must have been on its way to RAF valley on Anglesey.
