Puzzle game procrastinator!
It might be the version of Android? Earlier versions couldn't do it. My original phone ('Ice Cream Sandwich') couldn't. My current phone ('Marshmallow') can. I think even then there might be certain apps that don't like to be moved.

Well it's the first time I've been awake this early for a while. Good job really as I've got to make sarnies and coffee for my ride!

Heading out to the Ribble Valley with a friend. He loves to climb hills, as do I, and the route he's suggested is suspiciously close to Birdy Brow. I'm on my winter bike - this is going to hurt. 😅

This afternoon I plan to finish cleaning up an area of the allotment I've ignored for too long. Started yesterday, dug out most of the perennial weed, today I'll lay down Mypex** as a long term weed surpressant. Job done and much tidier.

Allotment is almost tucked up for winter just need to prune the apple trees, continue leaf sweeping, wash outside of greenhouse and fix a leaky water butt. I also have to do what's termed "restorative" pruning to my gooseberries. Basically they're old and not producing enough fruit. I've nowhere to plant new bushes so I've got to learn the technique which will encourage the bushes to crop better. 🤔

Fences could do with some preservative but that may go on the list for after the garage clean out. 😉

** Mypex is the industrial grade of the woven matting places like B&Q sell. It's widely used in commercial horticulture and I picked up a load of previously used Mypex from work before I retired.

Barnet,
Good morning all fellow retirees and persons of leisure.:cuppa:
It's not raining yet, so out with muttley soon and then a bimble on the bike, stopping at the local shops for some essentials on the way home.
I got the grass cut yesterday so now it looks fairly tidy.
Stay safe and smart everyone ;)
