Morning all

Thanks @Dave7
Saved me writing it.
Stuff to do today - catching up after our break.
Weather's looking OK so MrsD's happy. She can get her washing out on the line.
Might have a wander down to the harbour later.

Good morning all .
Rain is on its way, the clouds are gathering.
It will be out wit the dog first. Then catch up with some things on the telly box.
I need to go up the road for a couple of things from the shops, and then I'll watch the cycling world championships.
Did someone mention curry? @PaulSB I think that would be an excellent idea for tea tonight.

👍 always happy to be an inspiration........🤣

Morning. I am late. Took for ever to get to sleep and eventually got off towards morning so just up.

I had thought about cycling up the hill to a view point to watch the Gran Fondo cyclists passing through but have no motivation or energy so that won’t be happening. They all flash past so quickly anyway I’m not sure it’s worth the effort.

It's again

There is a travel type prog on channel 5 at 2000 hrs. All based around the Bournemouth area.
Called Summer by the Sea.

I like those sausages and beans in a tin.
Great comfort food.

I prefer them out of the tin personally.

Morning all have to stay in all day as I'm having the boiler serviced 08:00 - 17:00, why they can't give you a morning or afternoon apointment beats me, but I suppose it's a freebe and it's not OUR property as they like to tell you

Salut. A bit cool this morning but at least it is not raining. After walking Molly, I fancy riding up the Great Orme later for a change.
I also need to confirm my flight with Easy Jet to Paris for Sunday 13th. Not looking forward to that as I hate flying but it is the quickest and cheapest way to get there. Back on the 17th and then off to Ireland on the 19th, by ferry this time.

They make a mess of the rest of your shopping though

It's not a freebie, its a legal requirement on their behalf. Whatever they may think it is.
Annoying though.

Right. Tidy up, music practice, down to what's left of rural Bedfordshire see the grandsons.

Be interesting to watch, see if they visit the not so obvious parts that have excellent beaches, away from the holiday rush.
( If the chain Ferry was not in service I'd run from Sandbanks along the Prom to the end at Southbourne and back. It was really noticeable how the vast majority of visitors would be concentrated on the parts of the beach that were near to the car parks, with the numbers dwindling until there was loads of room ) There's a nice beach at Hamworthy, and of course there's Studland beach / Shell Bay just the other side of the chain ferry, that has a nudist section about a mile from each end.
