I have risen!

Good morning all.
1st point
Seriously......did you hear on the news (think it was to do with Canada) they mentioned a Mr Wan King. A very unfortunate name
I googled it and my spelling is correct.
My mind was racing with possible jokes

I/we need to go and order the vinyl click flooring for the bathroom.
Bit of paperwork to do.....sort the aunties bills out. She is very old school and hates to owe anyone.
After that it will be a chil tv day.... tennis and cycling

Good morning. Lots of overnight rain and it's now cool and grey. Forecast is dampish.

After three days of feeling shite this morning is better, not 100% but better. Decided against riding today to avoid doing too much too soon. Still feel a bit nackered but hey ho........

..........not sure what I'm going to do.....

Do you know a place called Pallington ?
My Bro and SiL have just gone there for 2 weeks.
I know roughly where it is but know nothing about it.

Good morning folks

Good morning all fellow virus dodgers.
A great day at the Shuttleworth collection air show.
The forecast heavy rain and storms held off, so all the flying programme was completed in sunny weather.
The bin men have just come down the road, so everyone is now awake

Good morning all, lots of wetness about here. Hopefully not the torrential stuff we got yesterday. We just got a drip from the velux window flashing, but there’s some awful posts on social media of basement flats and shops being flooded. Two thirds of the monthly average rainfall in 30 minutes.
Hopefully there will be some tennis to watch this afternoon.

Morning all

Not looking too bad out there this morning.
Might have a walk down to the village later to see what's going on.
Got to go to the caravan some time, to change a couple of marker lights. Just waiting for a tube of Sikaflex to arrive before I can do the job. It was supposed to be here on Friday, but no sign of it yet.

Just tennis........no cycling today.

I went for a little jog and it ended up even shorter than intended as I just couldn't cope with the humidity so just 3.3 miles. Better than nothing I suppose. Will be tennis watching this afternoon for me and should hopefully have a plumber to look at the tank if he appears.

Good Morning Dave,
I’ve been out that way running, but don’t “know”the area.
Found a feature in Dorset Life magazine https://www.dorsetlife.co.uk/2015/04/lakes-lagoons-and-ponds/

It's Dorchester way, off the top of my head i'd recommend a visit to the Tank Museum at Bovington, the abandoned village of Tyneham ( check for access due to being on MOD land for the firing ranges ) The Square and Compass pub at Worth Matravers, and Monkey World. Weymouth is very Victorian. There's a steam railway between Swanage and Corfe Castle which is well worth it, I like Swanage, some proper fish and chip shops. Beaches tend to get rammed in the grockly places like Poole and Bournemouth but Swanage and Weymouth beaches are quieter. There's a fabulous beach at Shell Bay Studland, the middle mile or so is a Naturist beach. Dorchester pubs, "Proper Pubs "the "Blue Raddle" ( does home made food with a good veggie selection) and the very small and hidden away Convivial Rabbit. There's "Copper Street Brewery" opposite the railway station at Dorchester South, a nice micro brewery with some good beers, but again very small.

Morning all . It’s looking reasonable day today . So I think the order of the day is , bacon and eggs for breakfast , walk into emsworth to get some milk , then ride over to hayling lsland and have a picnic and a ice cream on the beach . Oh and maybe a glass of wine at a pretty pub on the way back.
It seems like a good plan to me anyway 😀

Good morning. I got carried away looking at other stuff (to buy) don't tell Mr WD.

A tad chilly here today. Its about 13 deg at the moment. We had loads of rain last night.
