Just had a phone call from the insurance company they have offered me £700 a lot more than I was expecting that's for sure.

I've forgotten, how old was the car?

not a fortune, but, if better than you were expecting, a good start,

23 years old

23 years old

That doesn't sound a bad payout considering the age of the car.

Morning all.

Blowey but dry so far in North Wales.

Band practice today so may go in the Westfield if the weather holds.

Was sat quietly in garden when swmbo asked for minor help so just spent the last hour digging up some tree roots.

When did I get so old that I now have no strength and no stamina?

Dry and breezy here. I have 1 load of washing on the line and another 1 is in the machine. But sods law, the sky has just turned a dark shade of grey

I've got a line full of sheets out, I recon I'll have to bring them in dinner time. I called off my ride this morning, couldn't be a***d for some reason, I'm in a favourite garden centre having a coffee.

 

[welsh dragon]

Yep. My bedding is on the line as well. Second load now on the line as well. Hopefully because of the breeze it should all be dry in a couple of hours

Most buses round here have a wheelchair ramp the driver can lower, the kerbs at a lot of the bus stops are raised and the bus suspension can lowered to aid entry, most buses have a space on board for a wheelchair.

I think it is the case that all new buses have a lowering entry for wheelchairs.

When I was out couldn't help noticing all the military activity. Two large identical helicopters flying in tandem over us and several small grey launches travelling at speed in the Sound as well as what I presume is a Frigate with very angular styling travelling back up. The same one as went down the other day. Probably nipped down to Oban to top up the gin or something. Given the stories told by my old drinking buddy the admiral that is quite possible.
The usual mix of work boats and floating cranes and a very few yachts to be seen as well. No fishing boats apart from one or two very small local ones.
We never see the Lys Line boats now who travelled up and down every week since one of them tried a short cut overland. Gave a bit of excitement but it did get refloated successfully.

I'm going for my second injection this afternoon

The catalytic converter is probably worth £500 scrap value.

Damn! The Hunters Lodge is closed on Tuesday lunchtimes. Had to go down the road to the Victoria Inn at Priddy instead.
