It's supposed to be a nice day here but at the moment it's 15 deg and there's a chilly breeze.

Good day. Blowin' up a hoolie. It's another day when I look out the window and think Summer???

I'm doing bits and pieces so far. Once that's done I'll get the hoover out and do bigger bits and pieces. With luck I'll get an hour or so on the allotment. That is about all I can think of that is in anyway interesting!!!

Morning I feel a bit better today, I hope I stay like this until dinner time as I'm going to cook cod and parsely sauce, mashed pototes, carrots and spinach, the spinach could help me like it did Popeye

That's back!
And feeling hungry by the sound of things. Maybe the worst is behind you now.

I have just splashed out on a new jumper. Some of the ones I have are over 30 years old in fact the one I'm wearing is about 40 years old and the cuffs are fraying

Glad to hear that Mr NNs.
Personally I can't eat white fish with mashed potato..... Too many childhood memories.
Had fishcake with baby spuds t'other night and enjoyed that.
Anyway.... You enjoy your lunch.

Walked up to the Co-op for a few things. The town is busy with the hordes descending for the games. Obviously some seasoned veterans carrying rugs, folding chairs, picnic, etc. I also saw a couple with bikes outside the Co-op with full panniers and asked them if they were going far. They are on a LEJOG so I suppose they must be at least two thirds of the way there now.

I can hear the massed pipe bands heading down the town now to finish up in the park. The sound always gets to me. I am definitely a true Scot.

Currently in Meadowhall having a coffee before I start spending.

I love the pipes and drums, Clanadonia is a favourite band of mine, saw them on the streets in Edinburgh a few years ago.

I've been awake since 2.00am. Aching shoulder. I'm nackered. Mrs P has gone walking, the house is quiet and no one is cutting grass outside. Early lunch followed by snooze is in order.

I discovered last night it's widely known locally who knocked me down. I haven't told anyone for fear of prejudicing my claim. A friend is married into a local farming family. She heard of the crash and found out who the driver was on the same day. Took me a week! 🤣 Fortunately not her family. There are a number of small scale farmers locally so they will all know each other. The comment was "he may never drive a tractor again." I think this is a choice, not a legal or insurance issue.

Pork today with stuffing, roast potatoes and peas.
