It's been a long hot day roll on bed time

Why?

I will be in bed VERY early.
This fatigue is killing me. I managed a few garden jobs today PLUS I managed a shower.
I will be lucky to make 21.00.

I hate going to bed , every day above ground is a bonus . I squeeze every little drop out of it and stay up very late indeed

Back from a classic mtb route in these parts, along Speyside Way to Aviemore, over the Burma Road to drop down to the River Dulnain, pick up a General Wade road into Carrbridge, forest tracks to Boat, then a minor road diversion to take in Loch Garten on the way back to Nethy. Saw a golden eagle while we were stopped for lunch.

I have never been one to stay up late........apart from parties etc. 23.00 has always been ok for me.
I do enjoy my kip.

56 yards of carpet have been laid, although I helped I did not do the majority of the work, thankfully as it was certainly extremely hot work.

Don't think he lasted those five minutes.

I had a very unpleasant surprise in the post this morning. When we were in Devon, we went to the beach in Instow and I thought the parking fee was to be paid on return as there are cameras when you drive in. I did put my reg in when back at the car and paid the displayed fee but apparently, you must pay within 10 minutes of arriving, so got a letter this morning with a £60 fine to pay within 14 days or £100 otherwise.
Not happy.

Assuming it is a council car park, and, you DID pay, entering your registration number. A letter and phone call to explain, may save you £60.

Spent most of my life working shifts and going to bed between 1am and 2 pm. That’s why I never go to bed these days any early that 11.30 pm . And that seems early to me 😂😂😂

It's a private car park and it's caused a lot of aggravation amongst the locals.

Good morning fellow retirees

Today I'll be fettling new mudguards onto Mrs Tenkay's Brommie, sparkly Purple mudguards to match the sparkly Purple frame 😯
The weather feels oppressive this morning, perhaps a storm is on the way.

Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️🚶‍♀️☔

I have risen!

Another day lazing around trying to keep cool. Mrs D is going to the outlaws. I'd normally go but I'm not leaving the dog shut up in a house with the windows closed in this heat so I'm staying home.

Good morning all.
Well @classic33 I was in bed 21.20 and out like a light......slept solid and woke at 06.45. I didn't have a kip during the day which I have been doing lately.
Been raining here and is very overcast.
Bad news.........
Warrington had 7 new Covid cases yesterday after 3 days without any.
Those Lancashire people need to keep it to themselves......after all, this is Cheshire you know.
