Good morning. Overcast but getting a little warmer, we're talking 3⁰!!! Rain forecast for later. I have a spin class this morning and a PT session this afternoon. In between I have a bit of cleaning up on the allotment. We have a guy coming tomorrow to level and extend an existing concreted and paved area. This is in preparation for our new 16' x 8' summer house/shed which arrives next Monday.

I like this building, 50% of the length is glazed with the other 50% being a standard shed. I'm going to need shelving in there. I'm reluctant to buy anything, scavenging is on my agenda.

Next I must tidy round and stretch. I may prepare tea but need some inspiration. Mrs P seems to get more tired by the day so the more I can do the better.

Barnet,
Good morning all.
I've had a terrible nights sleep. I kept waking up every couple of hours and I feel hungover. Maybe because of watching the Spurs game yesterday. It was enough to cause anxiety or health problems.
All the normal things to do today, and maybe a bike ride later this morning.
Enjoy your day everyone.

Good morning from a drizzly and cold Dorset. Slept right through the night, possibly aided by the can of beer I had with dinner last night. A can of DIPA from an Edinburgh brewery, 8%😮
Mrs Tkk has an appointment with the physio later, her hamstring continues to improve, but it looks like her birthday half marathon might end up being a ten miler ( or ten k depending on fitness).

Morning. A pleasant 6 degrees here so a wander done.

Bet none of you have had this problem! Molly had puked on top of the 4 gang extension beside my bed and liquid must have got in one of the empty sockets and reached the wiring. Thankfully I wasn’t sleeping and became aware of a strange buzzing and smell around 4.30. It must have been shorting inside. I presume it would have blown before bursting into flames? It’s in the bin now and a new one picked up on the way back from my walk. I will tuck this one behind the bed so she doesn’t have access to it. 🐈 :laugh:

The common view is that you sleep better if you don’t drink, a couple of beers and I’m out like a light!
 
I'm often only aware I've been snoozing or asleep because the time has changed. Frequently at night I'm convinced I haven't slept yet 3 - 4 hours could have passed.

It's very weird.

Yup - I do that

woke up this morning at 6:10 and went to the loo
10 minutes later the front door bell rang - it was the landscapers wanting me to move my car
it was 8 a.m.!!!
