Nice walk done again. Slightly more overcast but still lovely.

Sorry but I was 'missing in action' yesterday (I will send my excuse papers in later).
First things first.........@classic as @PaulSB says, whisky is not for dabbing. Being disabled yesterday I did try drinking the stuff in the hope it would make me feel better, which it did, until I woke up this morning.
Today is a planned rest & relax day. Breakfast will be luxury croissants with honey...plus vodka and fresh orange. Not sure about MrsD as she had a serious case of the galloping trots yesterday, strange as we ate and drank the same things.....I hope she keeps it to herself though.
I recorded that Guernsey Potato Peel Society film and we will watch that and Britain's Got Talent later on.
Yesterday I watched a couple of good films. One was a good western with Kevin Costner and Robert Duval. I was almost slapping my six guns on.
I am shortly going to put a chicken casserole on to slow cook. And that raises a question......................
@PaulSB and other allotment people. a neighbour has been leaving us bags of home grown Radish. now I don't actually like radish but we gave some to the aunty and she declared them the best she has ever tasted. . I read that you can cook them. I am planning to slice them up and put them in the casserole..........will that work ?
I am now going to read posts that I missed yesterday and enjoy Classics corrections😄

We swapped a lot of our lawns for gravel years ago, I agree with you, those gravel fairies must eat the stuff. Every couple of years we have to buy another ton of it to spread around.
TBH in hind site I often think we should have kept it as lawns.
Kinky.....
Maybe I am fortunate but I enjoy a can of Abbot Ale or Old Speckled Hen, both of which I can get from Aldi. If I go to Costco I often pick up a case of mixed, bottled, real ales which I find interesting although I am not keen on the dark/heavy ones.
I don't mean corrections as in with a whip and high heeled boots 😄Kinky.....
I must be honest, as that is the sort of guy I am
but reading that post does not paint a nice picture in my mind. The only thing worse is if you next tell us you joined him in that activity. Please don't

I need the mind bleach after that post! I'm glad I've had my breakfast, the picture in my mind of man and dog squatting in harmony is quite unsettling.

I had a gravel drive and footpath. The problem I found was and I know it doesn’t occur very often was clearing snow from the surface,Replaced paths with block paving and the drive tarmac during with the edges block paved.
The tarmac has been down for aprox three years and still looks good.

That is a BIIIG area. I did ours in the 80s when I was a manager, looking after Europe and being very busy. Time was limited so it seemed a good idea at the time. I did all of the front garden and 1/3rd of the side garden.
Where we had our caravan there was a house with a large drive that was done with tarmac. It was black (obs) but with some red bits in. I always thought it looked really nice.

Morning everyone. Grey day here at the moment but it does look like it will clear a bit. On my second cup of coffee while waiting around to join in the virtual dinghy sailing at 11 o’clock. Bike is all fixed so will venture for a ride after lunch , hopefully it will be more successful that yesterday 😂😀
I used to have a laser, great fun.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Still dull and overcast here. On my 3rd coffee
