Good morning all.

Well, here we go again.
The highlight of today is putting up the guttering on the shed. Wahoo:bravo:

I've been awake since 06.00, MrsP got up for a whizz and it was lights, camera, action from there on.

Mug of tea no.2 being drunk at the moment :cuppa: Whilst I formulate a plan for today's proceedings.

Stay safe everyone

Will it be on Strava later?

Cooeee. I am waiting for the man from the garage to collect my car. Transmission replacement day for it.:laugh:

Stay safe folks :hello:
Is that as big a job as it sounds ?

I don't think it's a big job, just an expensive one. They told me it would only take about half an hour, but the cost is stupid over £200.

Morning all :hello:

Blimey! It's Fish Friday again - that came around quick! :hungry::cheers:
Off to Barny this morning after we've walked the doggie at Croyde beach.
I've got to pick up some bags of compost from Asda, go to Specsavers for an eye test, nip into Wilko then pick up F & C on the way back.
Haven't had a phone call from the Docs yet about my jab.

How is your wrist support working out for you ?
It definitely helps. It has the metal strips inside so keeps it nice and stable. Took it off for a few hours but was feeling achy so it’s back on. Still not convinced there isn’t a fracture but nothing looks out of place so I will persevere with the brace and hope it heals properly.

So good morning. I hope you are all well. It's wet and blowing a gale.

I seem to have escaped any serious reactions to the vaccine. 🤞 I had the AZ. I felt a bit rough, sort of tired and achey, as I would after a 100 miler, for about 5 hours last night. Slight sensation, dullness in my arm. I did spend six hours building IKEA furniture so tiredness is just as likely to have been this.

Today's plan? Well lots of outdoor things I'd like to do but it's too wet. I'll be heading over to No.3 son around 10.00 to build more furniture. He is capable of doing it but I see this as a real contribution I can make to a family with a young baby. If it frees up an evening for son, partner and baby that's a big PLUS to me.

I'm also more organised - count all the screws etc first, line them up, identify the different panels and so on. Much better approach than No.3 son who rummages through a pile on the floor!! 😂😂😂

I will pop back later. :hello:
You sir, are a legend 👍

Mo, if your left leg starts aching, and you suddenly start thinking that it would be a great idea to get a parrot, then I’d advise getting the wrist X rayed ASAP

It's gone dark here and a tad windy as well. Looks like we are in for a rainy day so plenty of :cuppa: will be drunk

Morning all... Up a bit earlier that I would have liked, waiting for a builders delivery so I've got to be on the ball and ready when it turns up.

Speaking of ready, we watched a good film last night "I am Woman" it was all about Helen Reddy. I knew she was a great singer, but never realised she was such a great activist for womens rights.

Have a good day folks!
