Good morning. Been up for 30 minutes already as I am waiting for delivery of a new chest freezer from Currys. They said between 7 am and 11am so better be ready. It isn't raining yet but it is on the cards I believe.
I think I will clean my bike sometime today as I have been out a few times on wet roads but not in the rain I must add.

I take it you know if you do a full back up of the old one you can restore the back up on to the new. I do this and then delete unwanted apps. I find it quicker.

Salutations people. Much better weather than forecast only raining, the biblical stuff has been delayed till 9.00.
Like WD we have a diabolical forecast for Thursday/Friday.
Shirtly I will iron then head up to the allotment to either clean out the greenhouse or mulch more beds depending on rain or not. Had a very successful allotment day yesterday.
The LBS phoned. Would I be interested in a Genesis Datum 2018 frame? Build would be as per the Tifossi. The Datum has rave reviews so I'll be popping to the LBS later to discuss. Just when I'd reached a decision...........
Interesting to hear the LBS is finding older frame sets available. This is the 3rd or 4th I've heard of, it seems suppliers are digging out everything which lurked in the dark depths of their warehouse!!!

Morning all.
A wet and windy day today, ( nothing to do with Drago).
Today is veterinary day for the cats. The boosters jabs for them are scheduled for 11.00. They are not happy as we have not let them out this morning.
Stay safe everyone

Morning all, a beautifully glowing pink sky here at dawn, shepherd’s warning and all that.
Just been learning about extended households from MrsF. Her 90 year old aunt lives by herself and can’t walk unaided. In normal times she gets visits from her son, her daughter, MrsF’s mum (ie. her sister) and MrsF. But since they introduced the one household indoors rule it means she has to form an extended household with only one of them. So MrsF and MrsF’s mum haven’t been able to visit her for months, and her son and daughter have to alternate spells where she forms an extended household with one of them meaning the other can’t visit then a few weeks later she’s been flipping the arrangement to the other one
.
Reading the gov.scot rules I’m not sure she’s allowed even this to be honest, it says you can end an extended household but you’re not allowed to form a new one. I’m also thinking that this only works if her son and daughter’s respective partners don’t themselves need to form an extended household eg with their own parents. What a mess. No wonder people are getting upset.

These new rules are a nonsense to be honest.
