Good Morning Monday, 31st August 2026

Good morning dear readers (yes, I know :laughing: ) it is a glorious spring day with temperatures in the mid 20s. Spring actually starts tomorrow, hopefully a portent of things to come.

Even did a bit of laundry this morning.

Took the car out to pump up the tyres ready for my trip (am still getting over the fact that in the UK they charge for this) then I put the car on the grass in the back garden to check some things out. One of them was to pump up the spare which I rarely check because it’s under the car and tricky to get at but I do carry a pump.

Have started putting things in the car which are essential for the upcoming trip (maps etc). I was a bit worried about the aux battery but the run and the car mounted solar panels seems to have allayed my fears somewhat. I don’t really want to spend money on a new battery because fuel is going to be a big enough expense (Thank you Mr Trump).

Anyway that has been my morning and early arvo, have a good one.

Take care…

it’s a traditional August bank holiday here with torrential rain. In fact thunderstorms are why I’m up so early.
