Pictures please, or it didn't happen!

Grey, wet, and dismal here. No sign of the sun.

Oh dear.

Excuse #1: I have given up trying to connect my phone to my laptop since it insists there aren't any pix on it most of the time.
Send them directly from my phone? I did start to read the manual, honest. My current skill level with it means I cannot even wake it up reliably. (only had it 2 years).

Excuse #2: I had just arrived home from my 6am Tesco grocery shop (I hate crowds) and saw the sky as I was unloading the car.

Excuse #3: I was living the moment rather than wasting time taking pix.

Excuse #4: I'm lazy.

I think that was worse than Sunday's storm.

Yep. A big, soil filled planter blew off the wall last night, bounced off a glazed blue ceramic pot (miraculously without breaking it) and just missed my bike before landing on the ground!

Morning all. Grey and dreary out there but at least the wind has stopped. Got a little gardening task for someone today, but it's under cover so I should stay dry.

Nothing major planned for today. A new hob has just been delivered so I'll be installing that later...... Plus refitting those fence panels...

Had a day off today, which is rather nice. Had to take the car in to Marlow so the Ford dealer could sort a handbrake issue I was having so went shopping for new work trousers while I was there. I've had to go up a size, dammit!

Took the bus home, which is a hateful experience. Not sure if the one I got was 20 minutes late or ten minutes early, but it was packed with smelly*, noisy people, and no fun at all. Thankfully, Lady Poppy is giving me a lift back there tomorrow to get my car back.

*If you've never smoked the stench of a smokers clothes who is almost sitting on your lap (the seats are too small and leg room non existent) are terrible!!
