Mrs SD has had a hair restyle today, gone short too. Really suits her plus she can wear all her dangly earrings again - they previously got tangled in her long hair.

She's buzzing. I love seeing her so happy.

No highlights needed this time so only £120 vs the usual £150.

£30, what can I buy with that?

There's this!

Well, I just couldn't resist giving a start so I did and then I couldn't stop but I am three lengths of 2.5 m decking short because I replaced a couple more while I was at it and glad I did as it looks so much better now. We can now walk into the Kota safely without the floor collapsing under feet. Knackered now as I am not used to working so hard any more. Have a pleasant evening every body.
By the way, Mrs G is very pleased with the new decking.

Happy Friday, everyone. Enjoy your day, shopping for me with a stop at Lidl and Dunelm. We have frost here at the moment, and I plan a bike ride later today.

Good morning all fellow retirees.
It's raining and will be for most of the day.
I've got a doctors appointment this morning, a test and check. My doctor's surgery called me and made it for me at a local clinic, not my doctors place. I'm interested in what it is for. I'll cycle there and then continue to the local shops for some essentials.
Other than that it will be the normal dog walking, domestics and then watching some sport on the telly or listening to the football on the radio.

Good morning folks, more work on the outhouse door today. I stripped the old paint off yesterday using a heat gun, it was quite satisfying, the old paint being oil based came off easily. This morning is fit the kick plates to cover the bottom of the door where a couple of the planks had been eaten away, then fill with expanding foam.

I should have added that I might go to a bike jumble meet in Chesham today. On the other hand I might not.

Glad you said that....it got me wondering.
But I am listening to SoTS so it must be Saturday.

Lovely clear sky here but another cold start.
Family were here yesterday and daughter made a meal BUT this morning I have to clear up the mess.
Footy on tv at lunch time.
Omelette for lunch.

Bonjour. I have been enlisted to be the official interpreter to a small group of French people from a twinning town in northern France. They are going down the copper mine in the Great Orme in Llandudno, but down some tunnels not opened to the general public. Should be interesting and hope my French is still up to it. It starts at 10 am.
See you all later.
