Good morning all, woke to the sound of rain and it has rained on and off ever since, not cold though, about mid 20s.
First order of business was a trip to the dentist for checkup, clean etc, it’s probably less 100 metres from my place so I like an early morning appointment.
Once that was over a quick trip to the supermarket for milk, oat bran, bananas etc and to pick up a package of magnifying glasses from the PO Box (Amazon and all that)
Once back home I just dragged the bins in from the kerb and have been indoors ever since, too wet to go into the garden.
Suddenly remembered it was my brother’s birthday yesterday, so texted birthday greetings to him, I think I might have just made it while it was still yesterday evening in the UK.
Wet and gusty here, the storm has arrived!
Certainly a day for staying indoors.
My son has already broken up from college for half term, we’ll be planning some activities to make the most of the time.
A nice new compact eight socket extension block arrived from Amazon yesterday
That’s for my desk in the front room, four USB ports too.
I’ll have a bit of a dust down and get that plugged in later.
There’s some cedar essential oil to order from Amazon over my next coffee and that’s pretty much all I’ve got to report this morning!
We’re in the midst of a storm here on the south coast, not a nice day for venturing out.
Unfortunately, I have to go and run some errands and the wife has an appointment to sort out her glasses, which means getting soaked at some time. I have a studio shoot tomorrow, so I will be spending some time later charging batteries, cleaning lenses etc and hopefully the weather may have cleared a little as its a bit of a drive to the venue. Not forgetting todays dose of coffee at sometime and maybe a bacon sandwich to follow.
bit damp out there today as in heavy rain. Had a bit of an issue with the car tyres , the manufactures placed the air intake nozzle right between the narrow part of the wheel spokes, So hard to use a pump with a screw connector. Only answer was to get a pump with a slide over clamp type connector,
No signs of Storm Austen here in middle England yet, although looking at the weather map, i don’t think it’s expected to affect us very much.
At the moment it’s very calm with blue skies, sunshine and 11 degrees.
Despite this, the local market has been cancelled because of the weather (it’s a mystery!) but the fair is still going ahead as planned for today and tomorrow.
Didn’t finish work in the garden yesterday after all, but it’s very nice out there, so i could get it finished, we’ll see.
