It certainly looks a bit more settled out there but I am still holding my breath, nothing is certain with the present weather system.
It's Friday! I well remember the pleasure I used to get when this day came around but now, all has changed and all days are Fridays, or Mondays, Tuesdays, etc. Just smile and enjoy it anyway.

Morning All
Well today is the dreaded day.
The grand-kids and their Mum are coming to live here while their new house is modified.
Could be (gulp) up to 3 weeks
Other than that, its a dull damp day. Definitely not normal July weather at all.
You all have a lovely day

Well, she "thinks" that she can just foxtrot-oscar to her new house and do stuff and leave them with us.You just keep out of the way and let their mum look after them.
I have said (loud & long) "all we are providing is a safe place for the kids to stay and sleep while the new house is a building site; we aint 24 x 7 babysitters, chef's or servants. Cook yr own meals here, do your own washing, and just use the 2 bedrooms and the main bathroom." I do hope the message has got through because I shall be cross if they try it on.
Today is moving day so I understand she has to be involved in that.

It's turning out to be a lovely day over 'ere.
The clouds are melting away but the wind is picking up a bit.

Much better 'ere, too, although the clouds are still doing their best to fill the sky!

Start as you mean to go on! As soon as she says she is going to the new house she must be aware that the children go with her. None of my business, I agree, but I have seen far too much of this kind of thing. I have a similar attitude to inheritances - parents have done their share bringing up and educating their own children and the 'later years' are for them to enjoy and spend, spend, spend on themselves - you earn it, you spend it! Fair enough for a small bit of a bonus being passed on, but I believe that kids should not expect or rely on the proceeds of the parents hard work coming to them.
I'm not a miserable old git, it's just that I have seen far too many examples of the damage done to the next generation who fail to understand their own responsibilities for their own lives and families.
I agree. Problem is my wife's a soft as butter and would give all I have earned and worked so hard for away to the kids right now "because THEY need it" LOL, well THEY can go and sodding earn it then.Start as you mean to go on!

They will all do quite nicely when we pop our clogs, so they can be patient.

I agree, no doubt she will announce ‘we have to go do...’
So you say, ‘right kids let’s get you in the car/get your coats on’ etc

delivered the stinky compost. Onto a farm
Was hoping for rain to wash the mud off the motor.
See I got some off roading in again this week. No diff lock needed
No waiting in the sun for loading so I can head home.

Afternoon folks hope it’s all sunny and good
Took a trip to big boy town today.
M is now having the joys of running in her new varifocal glasses (her first set).
So we made use of the time and did some odd diy shopping for little bits, got all of them and I even managed to slip a DeWalt 125mm grinder in the trolley and stumbled upon a 90° pneumatic drill in the sale shelf, it was missing the chuck key and airline fitting but reduced 50%, I’ll have that (£25) I haven’t brought any tools for ages so made me feel good.
Had to put some fuel in car so put in a nice round number (100 local = £47.71) got back in the car and thought hummmm the fuel gauge seems to have gone further than normal. Next couple of garages checked the price 1.70-1.73 /L. Wow that works out at less than 80p/L. They do tend to have quick adjustment to the oil price here. Could have spent more had I known we would save so much on fuel
it’s the weekend tomorrow just thought I would say that as the workers working from home need reminding of routine
Me I will be on me knees grouting tiles

Back home.. been out with the landy driving a few lanes. Loving the quietness & only been disturbed by skylarks.
