Just back from a ten mile cycle ride with Lady Poppy. So glad I took my waterproof jacket... Blue skies all around now so after lunch I will risk getting Hugh out of the garage! Fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed for a bright afternoon, so I can get a bit done around the house. Have fun everyone.

Out to lunch today with family. Cool here but at least it's dry.

Cool and grey here too. Another trip into Welshpool in search of Nikwax leather cleaner, and some of the leather restorer.

I had every intention of stopping at a garden centre on my run out this afternoon for some Rose food. Was having too much fun though and forgot...

Feels good now I've finally had a ride out this weekend. This summer has been pretty garbage in terms of weekend weather.

Made it there and back without any rain. No Nikwax anywhere though so ended up ordering it online. Stopped at Coco for a coffee and to watch the world (well, Welshpool) go by for a while.

Currently in North Yaarkshire on holiday, and the weather's not bad ... there is an autumnal nip in the air in the mornings, though.

There's a Go Outdoors branch in Shrewsbury, they might have had it. Is Newtown better for that sort of thing?

Feeling cooler and damper here in Shrewsbury. A few trees have got some brown tinges to them.

Afternoon all. Busy morning here sorting admin type stuff.
  • Ordered a water meter installation as I'm paying far more than I should for water.
  • Switched electricity supplier from British Gas to Octopus and registered with them for a smart meter.
  • Chased the council again about solar panels for the roof.

Next on the list of jobs is a trip to Welshpool to get rid of a few bags of rubble, get some shopping, and have a haircut.

What an exciting life I lead!
