My body clock just does not understand Saturdays. I'm always awake by 6 as that's programmed in to me as getting-up-for-work time and I can never get back to sleep. Well, today I had the day to myself and the weather forecast was cloudy but warm and dry all day so I headed out towards the south coast. Hayling Island seafront was deserted so there was plenty of space in the cafe where I stopped off and had brekkie.

Popped in to Loomies on the way back for a cuppa and got chatting to the Royal British Legion bikers who had a marquee in the car park. They hunted through their box of goodies for me. Yes, they did have just one poppy-shaped sidestand puck left so that was a result! Been trying to get one for ages after seeing them at a show and suggesting Lady Poppy (yes it is a bit of a spooky coincidence) get me one for my Chrimbo stocking from their website, which was closed by the time she went to have a look...

Then it rained on and off for the last 20 miles home which is a shame as Hugh has never seen rain before today. Nice morning out anywho

Sounds like a top day Sir Trev

I get confused as to what day of the week it is since i retired. It doesn't help that the days I do work vary so there's no routine to follow.

There's been a mini crime wave in my town recently, several cars broken into and petty thefts.
Guess what. Got the ba$tards on my CCTV, man walking across my garden to try the very well locked gates at the side, and a female coming onto the drive to look into the car to see if there was anything worth pinching (there wasn't), this at 5.30 on a Sunday morning. Police know who they are from the footage. They will be helping with their enquiries shortly.

I fitted some cameras last year, people have got so used to (not to mention bl00dy annoyed by) regular false alarms from various houses by us that people never even look now when one goes off.

After my gripe of the day last week things are improving. Caught up on my sleep a bit, got out for a good run with an old friend this morning, my friends dog has gone home, and I have sensible levels of work organised for next week, with the possibility of a regular stint of 2 days a week part time.

However.......

Equilibrium is restored. Skimbleshanks is home. He's stuffed his face, headbutted Mabel the lurcher several times, and is now sprawled on one of the girls beds.
