Have a good day
I think today i will bask while I can.
It's hot already, and still got the allergic rash from yesterday from going out in that dangerous countryside stuff
If I can find a cafe or ice cream shop that's open I might have to go for a cycle and suffer the consequences.
Back to walking hounds and with an added bonus of eldest coming with me
Work stuff and then probably road bike ride
may listen to space ritual while basking

Today's itinerary will consist of bread making, schoolwork, coffee, maybe a walk at a local beach along the dunes and if I have enough energy after that, I need to trim the Rhododendron down the drive back. It's a 15 minute job, 1 hour tidy.
Hopefully still written off as it's a mess and currently in the recovery yard waiting to be dusted down etc.
The good news is that I survived my MTB ride.
Morning of socially distanced meetings, only one more to go, but requires a 40 mile round trip cycle. Kill two birds with one stone.
Spending the rest of the day bidding for a bit of nostalgia

Not so traditional Thursday morning hangover was present earlier. I'm out of practice with this lockdown malarkey. We had a few beers in a mate's garden, so much easier than virtual pub with people dropping in and out according to connection speed.
Lovely and toasty out but comfortable working temperature in my dark corner of the dining room.
Should sort some food out now, getting peckish.

Rest of the day = potter, odd jobs, shade, barbie laterz. Plan.
HD, hope the vans the only thing taken, work wagons can be replaced easily enough.

Best comment on the local news website was "That doesn't auger well"
Although I wonder how many people got it.

Nice work SG - i'll print it off and put it on the wall.
Talking about Porsche drivers being [email protected]:
Pulled up at local beach to go to said dunes with the toots.
Parked next to a scruffy black Cayman with what I think was an aftermarket bolt on rear spoiler.
I though I might get some chat out of the owner if I could see him.
There was a 'Press' card in the front window.
He was lying on the grass between a wind breaker and his car.
Me: "Hello! I see you have bolted a spoiler on, I have a built in one"
Him: "I'm trying to relax, get out of my face"
Me: 'It's a nice day and I was just saying hello"
Him: "It would have been a nice day if I hadn't met you".
This was all in front of my 7 year old. She was astonished.
Later, I decided to reverse on my way out in a fashion that put my exhaust in his face - literally and then popped it in Neutral and revved the engine.
He sat up red as a beetroot, sporting one helluva facial expression. I saw this in my rear view mirror as I drove away.
Shorty was howling with laughter.
That little anecdote just goes to show that growing old is compulsory, but growing up is optional...
I don't know if anyone noticed but his paintwork against mine looked really poor.
If anyone points him in my direction for some detailing...
