Good morning world!

Today has dawned a bit cloudy and there has been overnight rain down here in Planet Thanet.

Today I shall mainly be chauferring Mrs Salad about. She is getting her hair cut this morning, and having her second jab this afternoon.

Cooooe. We have sun at the moment. Today I have to drop Mr WD'S prescription off at the docs, get a few carrots and that's it.

Stay safe folks

I am back. 32 miles done. Cool and overcast but apart from the slightest drizzle up on the moor, it remained dry.

Breakfast now.

Another nice dry day in forecast. No idea where yesterday went but it was warm and sunny anyway.
Paddleboarding seems to be the new local thing. Saw several local vans loaded with them heading for the harbour.
One of the vans I noticed was driven by the grandson of the wee lassie aged 17 I employed in the office when I first came here.
Ye Gods. Where has the time gone.
The family now all have well kept matching vans I notice. The now grandfather used to run the most dreadful heaps and when he owned a couple of pubs ran them on a mixture old old chip oil and diesel. You could smell him coming.
Son back from Taiwan but cannot go over there yet as they are getting a new central heating system installed and the house is in chaos. Air source heat pump and a water based heating system.
He also has an eye watering estimate for the renovation of our Aberdeen flat which I will pay for. Flat is not worth anything much as it is so hopefully a good investment.
Must go and rest my eyes now. Spending too much time looking at computers is not doing any good so need to see an optician when I can get off to Oban.

I don't know if this is the right thread to post in.But here goes anyway.I don't remember much about the accident,but i have a fading bruise at the side of my head and a black eye on my right side.I was up a small pair of step ladders,cleaning the inside of the top wardrobe cupboards.I was using warm water and Fairy liquid. Mrs P was passing me the bucket I noticed on the bottle it said dissolves fat quickly,i remember turning and saying maybe we ought to start showering in this,it was then everything went black and i blacked out.

No doubt it was all down hill with the wind behind

Nay, you don't still believe in the mythical Tail Wind do you?

I have returned from taking Mr WD'S prescription into o town.

I just had to shoot a squirrel. Mr WD saw it a few days ago not moving very much. Clearly it was sick. I know my neighbour had the rat man in to poison rats and it must have eaten some.

It was very ill and the kindest thing to do was to put it out of it's misery.

A shot to the back of the neck was the most humane way to do it.

Where's Mr WD now, and is he safe?

Right - That's it

Caution has been thrown to the wind

I have had a haircut !!!!!


Went to a different barber - amazingly not a turk in sight - didn;t know they still existed
Nice young lady just cut my hair
no setting ears on fire
no exaggerated flourishes with scissors
no fancy lotions
Just a hair cut

I'll go there again!

Oh - to top it all - we have a table booked in a local pub/restaurant tomorrow night
