Good morning from a rather damp emsworth . Off for a walk round Bosham and try and watch the sailing. Looking at the forecast for the week I don’t think we will get a lot of cycling in but we bought bikes anyway , just in case .
Tbh what ever the weather does it’s just great to be on holiday 😀😀😀😀😃😃

The view from our bedroom window. Hopefully later in the week I can post some pics when it’s not raining 😂

Good morning all, murky here with rain forecast for later. Another day to be spent mostly watching tennis and the Tour

Hate to break it to you but I think it's a rest day for the tennis The cycling should be good though.

Very muggy walk done. I detest humid weather. Sweating just walking. Can't even imagine cycling or running.

Have a lovely holiday, I haven't been in Emsworth for about 50 years, I had an Aunt who lived there and in 1971 cycled over from Gosport to spend the day with her .

Good morning. Today is grey, breezy and pleasantly cool. I slept for ten hours on Friday night and another ten last night - this is so unusual one has to believe I'm unwell!! Feeling much better this morning as the cough, sore throat and congestion have gone, in the main I have a very runny nose and feel a bit under the weather.

Still waiting for my test result. 🤞🤞

I should spend an hour stretching and exercising this morning but think it would be a mistake until I'm 100%

So the lads done well last night. I have to confess I read the paper while watching. I'd sum the game up as very competent, professional and utterly uninspiring. Not sure how I feel about this. We're back to watching the mighty Rovers live in five weeks. Have I lost interest in footie?

There is a large blue bottle buzzing around. Grrrrrrrrr!

A morbid thought brought on by Drago mentioning the loss of an old friend.
I was brought up and went to school in Wallasey (on the Wirral)
When I was aged about 35 I went back for a visit and met an old school freind.
Conversation went........
Me. Do you ever see Phil Edwards?
Him. Dead. His wife found out about an afair. Put his head over the bath and cut his throat.

Me. Ian x?
Him. Dead. Killed himself.

Me. Alan Evans.
Him. Dead. Went to live in Australia. Got hit by one of those big trucks.
etc etc.

Honestly....about 30-40% of my old friends were dead before age 35. Blew my mind.

Morning all...Happy Independence Day to our American friends

Waiting anxiously for the covid PCR test result I had yesterday. I decided to go private for my inguinal hernia procedure which I'm having done on Tuesday. So hopefully with a negative result it'll all go ahead. I couldn't bear the thought of waiting up to two years for the NHS to do it.
It's not cheap but I've managed to have a good clear out selling things no longer needed, without digging into our savings too much.

Have a good day folks!

I switched off......just lost interest. Lol.

Re the blue bottle I will send Molly down. She loves chasing flies and usually eats them

My Good Lady watched it, I caught up with some little jobs in the garden and caught up with the Handmaids Tale, Gilead doesn't sound a nice place to live.

Excellent. Does she need directions or shall I leave the front door open? She can stop over night if it suits her.

I had nothing better to do last night so watched the game I used to enjoy football but that was back in the day when we had five forward three half backs two full backs and a goalie.
Seems to me they spend more time passing the ball around in their own half
Whats this commentator talk the mangers reverted to four four two.Stanley Matthews must be spinning in his grave⚽⚽⚽

Would you recommend it? I haven't watched any so far.
