Gosh Ruskie, that dog would have to be super-cute to avoid my wrath!!
Glad you were so productive Annette. Did I read that correct? Someone has done nothing on their own line in 7 years, and now wants you to pick it up for them again? Maybe I shall give you my distant ancestry to sort out for me, but I would be glad if you didn't take 7 years over it!!
As to you "late" risers, I have never been a good sleeper. As soon as I stir my brain goes into overdrive and sleep is out of the window. When the boys were younger I used to go for an 8 mile bike ride most mornings before their father got up for his early shifts.
It IS funny that we DO write like Met Office presenters quite often.
Caroline, prepped for 40 face coverings....you are amazing!!
Another disturbed night, woke several times for some reason. Got up about 07:30. A sunny clear morning with strong offshore winds though the sea remains fairly quiet.
Walk to town to post a card for grandaughter about to be 8 in Oz. The queue at the main post office was so long I would have been there till Wednesday, so we walked around in a large circle to a sub post office where there was no queue.
Interesting news article about the discovery of post shafts near Stonehenge. A circle 1.2 miles across and thought to be 4,500 years old. Wow, the implications of the size of the shafts.... how the heck?
Had an interesting on-line chat with a cousin in NZ. After zero covid cases there for 2 weeks, various travellers were allowed home, and have brought it back with them! NZ numbers are fabulously low in comparison to UK figures, but the people do right to make their voices heard where they perceive mis-management. It keeps their government culpable.
Set off to drive most of the journey I covered on Saturday for a meet up, but was bullied severely en route, and then found my road closed. Went round the roundabout, and back to where I could turn to try again, and then realised that the diversion was immense and would cause such a delay I would be horribly late, which "put the tin lid on it", so I went round the roundabout again and returned to Paignton. I hate driving and didn't really want to go in the first place. Evidently the 5 who made it did have a lovely time, which is good.
Took a longer evening walk around the outskirts of town in order to post a birthday card I made for one of the group. But really tame by Caroline's standards, although years ago I would make a pop up xmas card for every child in the boy's classes, but those days are gone.
Sat through the 2nd part of "Luminaries" .... how many in the series.... I doubt my stamina is that good!
Have a good day all.
