Could you please avoid the end of June/early July, for the same reason...?@Dirk you are ok for another 10 days as I am not going down to Bideford until a week on Saturday now so make the most of any good weather, it won't last.

I'm up too......I don't know why
So.....a sh*t day yesterday.
A brief summary.
Arrived at hospital at 06.50 to be told Saturday's Covid swab was "inconclusive" so she had to take another.
3 hours later**......no results so the aenethetist opted not to operate.
They gave her some food n drink.
5 minutes later results came back GOOD.
Unfortunately because she had now eaten they couldn't operate.....so sent her home.
What a total cockup.
Should have all been over now but sadly she has to go through it all again WHEN they give her a date.
**she spent those 3 hours alone in a waiting room.... shaking and very upset. Inhumane really.

Good morning, chums.
Well, today Miss Salad, who normally needs a lot of prompting to get up in the mornings as she is not a morning person, has leapt out of bed like a leaping salmon! It turns out that she has got to meet the big boss at 8.30 this morning to help him set up a new spreadsheet, so she needs a couple of coffees this morning to be all alert and businesslike.
Meanwhile, Mrs Salad has a gammy ear: it is prone to infections and she has one now, causing her a lot of discomfort. She is currently in bed, awake but a bit fed up.
So I am the only Salad in good form. Just about to engage with a second cup of tea. Today I will mainly be pushing our ineffectual mower over the lawns, and I might even bung a few more seeds into the veg patch

Right - Up early due to a lot of banging and clanking outside
They have been renovating an old golf course out the back, through the trees, over the river (stream) and up the hill.
They have moved enough earth in and out to relocate Everest right down to sea level!
And today they seemed to need the clanky diggy things again - at 7 a.m.!!!
anyway - so I was up by 7:15 rather than my normal 8 and the patio and drive are wet so I presume it rained overnight
After 3 days of feeling rubbish I was better yesterday and could have gone for short ride but had to wait in for the Grass Man
Got an email late afternoon saying his car had broken down and he was stuck in Cornwall - missed it until evening so that was a day wasted!
so might try a ride today as the MetOffice is promising no more rain
