I have returned from the garage. Bloody windy here. My ears were hurting even though I was wearing my Wooly hat.

Never mind......at least that's it in. Might be warmer for the journey back for it hopefully.

I hope so.

I changed the drive belt on my flymo and all seems to be working. The thing is only a couple of years old so the life seems a bit limited. This one is for the front grass as there is a nasty steep slope and no chance of doing anything about it as it is solid rock underneath. The back has a different machine where the switch is a bit of a lash up but works ok. The other older flymo has a switch which does not turn off and is kept for emergencies. Why do I keep buying their rubbish?
Sunny day so far but very cold. Got plants to go out but mebbe by Wednesday the temperature will be up and a bit more stable.

Perhaps Welshie could lend you a goat?

Morning. Who turned the clock back to January?

Not me.

I'll own up, It we're me.

Very windy here. In a valley so depending on wind direction I don't always know its windy, until I cycle up the hill and then I know. Intend on doing the same as I did Saturday, Except for the fetching of grass cuttings for the compost bin, I think 2 trailer loads is enough for now.
first Minimal gardening. Agaij Electric bike with trailer on back. Saturday fetched about 8 loads of firewood. Had to go down a track a bit rough so I rode back and forward to road with half loads and then cycled back and forward with full trailers. Dog bored with route as I loaded she went off to put some pheasants up. Not surprisingly she ran out eventually. As I was bringing last load to road I noticed more on track. Bloke was throwing it over fence. "Here's some more for you". I made the excuse I was using a battery chainsaw and I would collect another day. It was hot I was a little tired, dog was bored, I thought a bottle of cider was a better option. No idea how much will be there but its a get it while you can rule. I have only have about 18 months worth at the moment. Basically the rule for firewood is you can't have enough you can only have insufficient storage space!

Luckily we have plenty of space to season wood.

Not long back from the Co-op. Not that busy and everyone was looking much more relaxed today. Saw one woman wearing a mask, but everyone else just going about as normal.

I missed my morning walk as I cycled instead so hopefully get one after lunch.........especially now that it's been sanctioned! Lol

Cold and windy here too so CBA to walk and even less CBA to cycle.

Too old for misery during activities that should be pleasurable - my younger self would've toughed it out.

That's why I went out early. It was cold but fine once I got going and got back before the wind picked up. Walking in wind is OK, but it's my pet hate for cycling.

I only went because I had to but enjoyed once I was out

Quite often the case.......the thought is worse than the act! Lol.

I need to shift some of my lard so need to try and keep up the exercise. I keep hearing they think we are going to have a warm summer. Let's hope so. Is it just some bizarre co-incidence that the weather seems drastically improved with so much less pollution do you think?
