    Morning early people :)

    Heard the rain on the roof and went back to sleep for an hour :snooze:

    Was going to meet up with Willow at the Blandford Georgian fair but we decided against that after seeing the forecast.

    Have a good day everyone and don't get wet :spinning:

      Good day everyone
      I've had a very pleasant day so far. Had breakfast with a friend who lives a province away and is visiting for a few day, got an order for some drapery and am soon going to go get my biannual shot in the stomach done with. ;)

      We had a heavy rainstorm early this morning and right after my feet hit the floor, I ran out to see how much water collected in the rain barrel. Got a good few gallons more :)

      I believe I will need to throw down a tarpaulin on the living room floor and bring in all of the plants from the unheated greenhouses because the temperatures are going to yo yo quite a bit over the next week. Lows are going to plunge down around freezing. :yikes:

      Take care all and keep dry :)

        It did change indeed...

        I did attend the SWEEPS FESTIVAL that you recommended, Woo, and I can say without hesitation that I loved pretty much everything about it.
        Great relaxed atmosphere, good music pretty much everywhere you would go, super entertainment for children, food food and more food, :Wino: beer, cider, beautiful shops without being too ostentatious, and of course, the settings are breathtaking.
        So glad that we have attended, it was a memorable day (I may post a couple of pictures if I find enough coal to charge my phone :))

              Aloha everyone,

              I've been out in the sunshine doing some pottering around. It's a bit nippy but OK with a jacket on as the wind has dropped and the sun is warming. :)

              Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

              Aloha!

                Good morning Woo, I will find a way to put those clips and pictures online although I am struggling to even login in photobucket today. I was hoping to put everything in an album there for the forum to see -hopefully I will manage- but it is not happening fast.

                Rochester is reasonably easy to reach (although A TAD expensive) from Stratford International which is, I understand, the quickest way to travel from where I live. There are 2 Stratford stations (Just realised that YESTERDAY!!), but that's for another day!!

                I will definitely attend some other event there, it is just such a nice place.

                      Aloha everyone,

                      I've have that modicum of boucability :dbgrtmb: but not too much or my back won't like it. :snork:

                      It's supposed to be cloudy all day with some rain this afternoon. Michael should be continuing laying the paving and we shall go out this morning to buy the kerbings, cement and sand. I'll also get him to pick up my two x 4 metre planks of oak that was promised to be ready, and delivered, two weeks ago. :rolleyespink: I'll need to wait until he manages to get out of bed so don't expect to see him until sometime after 10 a.m. :doh:

                      Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                      Aloha!

                      Good morning all, miserable and cold here this morning could do with going back to bed to be honest but Amber wouldn't think much of that.
                      Have a good day all stay warm and dry and above all safe and well. God bless. :wub2:

                          Aloha everyone,

                          No wet stuff here @wiseowl :noidea: :)

                          I'm just about to go and open up the Polling Station for the harridan that runs it. She tries to bully me into changing things around for her and moans that everything is wrong. I just smile politely and remind her that she hires a room and not a slave. :snork:.

                          After I've put her in her place I then have to go off to the next village to place my vote :scratch:. Stupid boundaries!!! :rolleyespink: I have to drive through my village to get to the village that I vote at. :doh: The village that I vote at is physically closer if I climb over my back fence and traipse through the crops across the fields in between.

                          I'll then go off to town to do my shopping and back home about 7.30 a.m.

                          Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                          Aloha!

                            Good morning all, Not going to bother to vote today in local elections. I do not know either of the candidates so they cannot have done much to earn my vote. Council Tax is bound to go up whoever gets in.
                            Have a good day all, keep warm and dry and above all safe and well, God bless. :wub2:

                              Well, it's been a good morning. :thumbsup: I didn't have to have an argument with the harridan - she's been given the sack :hapydancsmil: :whistle:

                              I then got my shopping done in record time, with 10% of my bill and 6p a litre off my petrol (got 69 litres). Home by 7.30 then out with Michael to pick up kerbings that we need. Got 25% off them - no idea why, but didn't argue. :noidea:
