What are you all up to

I was wondering what they were thinking and did have an idea but feeling generous I've decided to keep it to myself.😱😂 (Nice photos though)

Taxi service again so as MiL was in town we called into Tesco. Amazing really. Last week we saw a couple in their late 20s or thereabouts. No mask on despite being in Wales. This week there they were both masked up. Wonder if they are disciples of Pinnochio?

Had to do a bit more gutter clearing due to the leaf fall over the weekend as some gutters showed sign of blocking. Must put some chicken wire down. We used to have some over the holes but lost a big chunk of guttering in a big storm in Spring and I've forgotten to replace the wire.

Enjoy the weekend everyone, especially those away.

Thanks for the link, peedee. Have just registered, or at least I think I have, and it was very easy.

Completed the polishing of the inside of the van today, along with getting all the covers on the seats and the floor covering down, so at least we are prepared for when we can get away. Will hopefully have some idea when after tomorrow's visit to the opticians

WN,  I will try to enjoy the week-end but I'm already severely depressed now, having heard the court case about 6 year old Arthurs sad life --  I have a good big tree opposite my house and can soon provide a noose of razor wire if required .

I've taken all the bedding, towels and similar out of the van now that we've come to the conclusion that we are unlikely to get out in the van now until the new year.  As usual, November and December are turning out to be the usual chaotic round of rehearsals and performances - even with the Covid situation.

I do need to do a caravan table repair.  Our slide out table (ttached to the front chest of draws) seems to have lost its magnetic catch which holds the table in, in transit.  I've managed to get some really small/ thin magnetic catches which I need to install.  Perhaps a visit up to the storeage tomorrow.

Fog here this morning ,now cleared ad very sunny,,

 My Daughter phoned to see how OH is getting on and told me about the latest application for  HGV drivers job at her company

Woman driver from Brazil? all the correct paperwork ? except photo copies? Daughter told her they would be in touch after checks made,  £20.000 fine if they take on anyone they should not,

,Applicant turned up on Thursday ,complete with three suitcases ,said could ,start now before checks done? as she had left her old driving job ,and was aware all the HGV vehicles with this  company had Sleeper cabs 

Not sure, David, how much of a struggle it will be for you to fix the table.  I've spent a very uncomfortable few hours standing on my head, then getting up to answer blooming phone, followed by the same sequence a couple of times more !! Finished the job ( replacing one of those Slow Closing Toilet Seats In a very, very tight space ). Then decided to go and visit the phone caller who has cards and presents for me (  ) only to hear the gentle sound of a Fiat Sevel diesel engine make similar noises to yours truly  . Now I'm on here while the charger does me a favour  or so I m hoping 

P.S. / Edit  And now it it absolutely Hammering Down -- dare not go out now in case I melt  

I got rather wet this morning collecting the car after our visit to the opticians as it was blowing a hoolie and hammering down. Slight change to my prescription, and some evidence of cataracts forming, but just age related and nothing to be concerned about, just glasses needed but no requirement for a further visit for the next 2 yrs, although OH has been told that she needs to change to a yearly visit. So new glasses for both of us and all told a rather expensive morning out. We just now have to wait for the new glasses before we can head off again for our Xmas trip.

I did manage one dry walk with Flyte and a couple others where I needed the full wet weather gear, but it looks like the rain has stopped and the wind dropped a bit so might get away with with final walk in the dry.

Hope that the Attorney General's Office see fit to increase the sentence, as petitioned by an MP.

This should cheer you up a bit, ABM, I hope.

Hello from snowy Hadrian’s Wall😁 We are cosy now in our little cottage after a less than perfect drive up. Only got 10 miles before we hit standing traffic on the A1😡 Took to the B roads, but the powers that B had very kindly closed off other routes for no reason whatsoever, and with no signage😡😡😡 Anyway, we eventually got round the hold up, and once past Wetherby made brilliant progress. Nice drive up after that. Howling Gale at the moment blowing down from Scotland (someone needs to put up a Wall🤣) but location and cottage are everything we hoped for. The snow was a bonus. Pooch loves it, he has a new chum called Branston. Hope everyone else ok and safe. 👍

I love the bit at the end Nellie.......wine merchant😂
