Good morning. Think it might turn out quite bright today, the sky seems to be clearing, though dull and grey at the moment.

Nothing planned and nothing which needs doing - well that's not quite true, I know there is stuff which needs doing but can't remember what.

The last few days I've been seriously considering clearing out the garage. Proper job, everything out, paint the walls, reorganise. I can never match certain standards but may do this in December. 🤔
20??

A question for you!!

When you go to the shops etc how many masks do you have with you ??
I normally take 2 but for today's Aldi dash I just took one brand new one.
Got through the door and BING the elastic went.
Fortunately there was a shop assistant nearby who went and got me one from their stock room.
Me, just the one.
Nearly had me thrown out of the local Aldi on Saturday.

I take one and keep a spare in the car. Mrs P made me seven.........this could have been a hint about how long she'd like me out of the house for. Being homemade I chuck the used one in the washing machine when I get home. I have more trouble remembering my ALDI £1 than anything.......

I wear a buff about 7-8 months of the year when cycling so for the moment I just pull this up when needed.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I have put a cake in the oven. It's going to be a coffee fake.

Pondering on buying a new tablet as mine is so slow now and a lot of aps no longer work.

Was looking at the Samsung A7, but you can't move aps onto an SD card so that's a bummer.

Might go for the good old standby Galaxy tab A.

And I don't think there is an ear phone Jack on the A7 either.

What would you buy @ColinJ

Just back from a walk around Braunton.
Amazed at how much building work is going on - everyone seems to be having extensions built on their properties.
House prices are still rising and properties are generally selling within a week around here.
For example: 2 bedroom semi detached bungalow, in need of updating. Went on the market yesterday for £325k. Sold today! :eek:
I'm frightened to ask how much ours is worth, although I've got a pretty good idea, in case MrsD decides that now is the time to move on. I'm all for another move.......just not quite yet. Maybe in the next 5 years.

Barnet,
Good day everyone.
MrsP and myself have been out for a long walk with the dog, around 9 miles.
There were many fairweather walkers out as it was a bright sunny morning, but we managed to stay away from the well worn tracks.
The breeze is drying the grass out so hopefully it will be the last cut of the year. I said that a couple of weeks back, but it keeps growing with the unseasonably warm weather.
On the subject of masks, I wear a buff when in the shops, I have a few, and I have a washable mask I keep on me for emergencies.
Stay safe everyone and keep smart.^_^
