And the showers are here. My weather ap said we would be having them for most of the day.

It tends to do that this time of year. Have fun.

I have risen!

Leg starting to look and feel a bit better, which is good.

Will give the Mini a final clean today and will empty it out in readiness for its departure on Friday.

Good morning,
Not been on here much due to family circumstances. New grandson still in intensive care in neonatal unit so Mrs Tkk is off to London on Friday to lend support while I head to Brum to visit poorly elder sister. Mrs Tkk has the Great North Run the following Sunday and she is " tapering down" her training. We're spending a couple of days with our daughter in Leeds on the way to Newcastle, be good to have a bit of time away.
Have a peaceful day everyone 👍☀️☕️

Am I the only one who is already fed up with the hype over the reunion of Oasis? I know there are many fans who can't wait for the tickets to go on sale. I have already had an email from Ticketmaster saying that tickets go on sale Saturday.
Myself and a few mates have got a sweepstake going over the minimum price of a ticket for the Wembley gigs.
the range we have so far is £140-£200.

What about a sweepstake on how long the brothers can work together this time .

I get what you mean and do think headline news on the Beeb is excessive. I understand from a fan's perspective. I'm a huge Springsteen fan and thought Cardiff 2024 was my last gig. Bruce has said he's not retiring, he's already due in Europe in 2025 and I'm nervously plotting how and where we will see him.

My lad has asked me to try to get four tickets at Heaton Park. If there's a spare I might go.

Cost? I'd say £100 - £120 in Manchester. Wembley will be £150+ for decent seats but the poorest seats where only £85ish . We paid £165 in Cardiff to see Springsteen. I guess Oasis will be similar.

Morning all, a very wet one.
I feel a cuppa and 2 ginger bickies coming on.
@welsh dragon what where those Aldi sausages you said were nice.

 

[Dirk]

Morning all

Good weather in prospect for the next few days apparently.
We're off to Minehead on the steam train this morning - bit of shopping and lunch in Wetherspoons.

Morning again. As it was warm and humid I risked a walk without a jacket………you can guess the rest

Oh well it was warm rain.

Aldi’s tropical fruit granola this morning. It’s a bit high in sugar but rather nice.

The hype is all about free advertising and it is all about making money.

I agree it's carefully manipulated. Money? Very likely. Noel Gallagher went through a £25m divorce last year. Concentrates the mind when you're down to your last million or so!!!

Weather bulletin. Grey. Fresh. My IT workshop is in 45 minutes. I must get a shift on though I must say more coffee and the crossword is a strong pull.

Good morning all, wonderfully bright and breezy here, set to reach 19° later.
