Dirk ,South Devon could be worse . When Mrs JK and I were heading home from Bridport on Friday afternoon, the A35 / 31 was at a standstill in many places. Not helped by the police stopping a VW van and caravan on a single carriageway section of the A 35 .Morning all
I can hear the constant traffic heading for the beach already.
Yesterday was manic apparently - judging by local FB posts. Main roads jammed, back lanes jammed, beaches rammed.
Probably be the same today.
I'll have a stroll down to the village for a newspaper, come back and find some gardening to do.

Good morning world.
The sun is shining on Planet Thanet today, so we plan to park the car outside of town and take a stroll into the bustling metropolis to see what's what, and to get a cup of tea.
This evening our Monday night singing group meet up for the first time since first lockdown in person, rather than via Zoom. I hope I can remember the guitar parts I'm supposed to play!
Have a good day, everyone.

Morning all. Looks like it should be a dry day in North Wales.
We have some neighbours coming round to officially launch our garden bar which we put up during first lockdown, almost a year old and no one has visited.
Sadly not got a lot of home brew ready due to bad planning, so hope they like oatmeal porter, otherwise they'll be drinking commercial stuff, and that can't be right.
Never mind, still the best Yorkshire themed bar in Wales

Morning. Another rather cool morning walk done. Still overcast and a bit misty but it should burn off before long and be warm again I think. Not sure if I want to venture out on the bike on a Bank Holiday Monday or not. I'll see how I feel later. A wander round to the supermarket for a few things now.
I can't see the till, you are a proper Yorkshireman aren't you?
Good morning people, just back from a 10K run in the glorious sunshine. A varied route, I ran past the local posh Fitness Club, there was music blasting and a class leaping about in an outdoor shaded area. I then detoured around the local ponds, they were originally quarry workings but now used for leisure and fishing. I passed a few people fishing, and several people out for a stroll. Heading in the general direction off home I saw lot's of cyclists, the trailway I run on is tree lined and sheltered so very popular.
I chose the right time of day as it looks to be warming up out there.
Have a peaceful day folks 👍

The Co-op was eerily quiet too. No doubt the minute the sun appears it will suddenly get busier everywhere.
I have just ordered a latex mattress to try. I haven't felt really good for a few years now and sometimes wonder if I could be affected by the gasses from my existing memory foam mattress. Clutching at straws........it's probably just old age. Lol.
I must clean my glasses.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I was going to go out on my bike today. However my grandson just arrived and he said the roads are manic. Everyone from Brum is here. They don't know the roads so brake every 3 seconds. They won't overtake anything especially tractors and they slow down to look at anything.
I don't think I will bother thanks but no thanks

I've just given my touring bike a good clean up, it is surprising just how dirty they can get on the roads in grotty weather. It is the bike I use for shopping and general use, so it does get used most days.
Now I have some rainbow chard plants to put out in the veg patch.
