We are looking at cottages/hotels in that area for next year.It was nowhere as near busy down here yesterday as we were expecting.
I note there are 4 adjacent to the lighthouse. Unfortunately they are dog friendly and we have had some nasty experiences when booking dog friendly places eg finding a dump of dog poo under the setee and the owner refusing to clean the place
.We tend to go pet free places now.

Clearly you're doing a great job of adapting to life after w***. 👏👏Good morning all. No plans yet ... kettle not hot yet ... sky not examined. Hoping for another ride out today though, possibly in another direction.
Lee is a bit of tourist attraction, it's been filling up with tourist folk this weekend, so I plan to escape it if I can out to the country roads.
I used to be a bit of a newshound, especially on a Sunday morning, but I'm planning to ignore all the nonsense now, preferring instead a more simple life with the bike. Marr will have to make do without me.
Morning all fellow retirees,
The porridge with additional strawberries, blueberries, cranberries and honey has been eaten.
I will be out with the dog soon and then out on the bike to put some mileage in.
The weather is a little overcast but not that cold, so still have the long sleeved cycling shirt on.

Bonjour Messieurs, bonjour Mesdames et bonjour Mesdemoiselles !! This is another special day today at the Gavroche household as our Molly is two years old today. Happy birthday Molly. 
What do you give a dog who has everything already? I think she will be just as pleased with a long walk on the beach.

Being further east it has not reached you yet but the unfortunates in the west have settled in out of the rain for the day already.

Good morning everyone. Grey, very windy, 12C and 86% chance of rain at 10.00. I do hope it rains, my allotment is parched and my water storage depleted - we are talking 900+ litres. Everything looks good but is waiting to burst in to life.
Anyone note
was timed at 7.55? Lots of zzzzzzz last night. 
Today will be ironing, clean Mrs P's car inside and out - Fiat 500 so minimal effort, maximum bonus points. I'll probably clean the outside of mine, did the inside yesterday.
No ride today. A rest day is called for as I've realised I've done 14 days out of 16 this month, 455 miles, and 36,000 feet. No wonder I slept last night.

Depends on the material. A gentle scrub with a nylon dish scourer sponge thingy and white spirit ought to do it. Wash afterwards with mildly soapy water and the sacrifice a virgin in my honour.

Morning all. Tip for all paper shredders, if you've got a lot to shred, do it outside. You'd be amazed the amount of dust that it makes, not good!
Out for a
later with my daughter around that there London. 🌈

As a retiree over here, and with lockdown and all that, a highlight is a trip to the local market. It's Durian season right now, and for those who are unfamiliar here's what you're missing:
Going topless is not compulsory, but of great benefit in the heat:
They're known locally as the 'king of fruits', and I'd have to agree - delicious!

I was a part time security guard and every hour I had to write in the log …......NTR.......... if you wrote anything else you had to write it out in triplicate, phone a supervisor so it was easier to write NTR....I once wrote “I saw a fox”.....it didn't go down goodTo do a Classic..... you have reported that there is nothing to report

T'is all a dream. You'll realise that when they let you wake up.Been doing a lot of this recently Dave. You weren't once a secret agent by any chance? Or maybe a dissident from a failed state? Perhaps a rogue scientist working on pathogens ... or viruses that jump from animal to human populations?!
