Weetabix is like eating straw.

Morning. Gosh it's getting really dark in the mornings now. Think I will just walk this morning. May or may not bimble later....I shall see how I feel.

A few days ago I watched Series 1 of this, and found the acting so wooden. Saw all 3 parts, and ended up thinking I'd wasted 3 hours of my life. Shame, as the location brought back lots of memories from my time working in the Smoke. I'm sure it's just me - it has good reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.

Good morning. Clear, bright, sunny but ridiculously cold for August - even if it is September tomorrow. Very noticeable that crops on the allotment have stopped growing 2-3 weeks earlier than I would expect. Contrary to the great early spring weather many things have not produced the surplus I expect - can't help but feel that weather put plants under a lot of stress.

I've been awake far too long. Time to do the ironing and then see what the day brings.

We really liked the Bridge, a lot of TV series made with an eye on the international market are so formulaic, you start to notice the mini cliff hangers that occur so that adverts can be inserted. The Bridge was really well made with strong characters and a good storyline. We also enjoyed the insight into how a different society and culture operates.

Good morning fellow retirees,

I was planning on going for a run but am worried about missing the lady from the Premium Bonds if she comes to inform me that I've won the Million. 😉

I'll give the Brommies a once over before we head up to Edinburgh tomorrow, we're a bit apprehensive about cycling across London between Stations but Mrs Tenkay has sorted out a route and I'm sure we'll be fine.

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

Morning all, looking nice out there but certainly a lot cooler.
