Good morning everyone. It is a beautiful warm spring day, about 29/30° and the second month of spring.
Washed a winter blanket (with sleeves), a jacket and my chair cover and got them on the line, the first two with be put away for next winter I hope.
Went to the PO to pick up my new water pump which I hope fairs better than the old one.
Flew my drone to have a look at the club and how the new carpark is coming on, looks to me that they will be laying the last slab very soon (not that I know anything about building/concreting). I guess they have doubled the size of their carpark. I don’t care, I walk there and stagger home.
On the way home my drone flew over the showground where it looks like someone has arranged fun for the kids (it’s two weeks of spring school holidays in NSW at the moment).
Sadly waking up to light mornings is about to disappear as the stupid daylight savings comes in to force this Sunday. I hate it, if WA can do without it why can’t we? probably OK for the denizens of Tassie but not further north, why do we have to suffer because they choose to live in polar regions?
Enjoy your Thursday and the dying embers of the week.
Refreshing but I hope it eases by the time I have to go out, I’m checking out hearing aids this morning then home for the day
The photo of the funfair brought back memories Bruce, once a year in the tiny village in Kent where I grew up, much too timid to go on the ‘Bumper cars’, I just about managed the Carousel !
A damp start to the day here, as it poured buckets last night and soaked everything. However, the sun is out and looks like to be a warm day. The wet weather also means it may be time to get the mower out and sort out the garden.
Anyways, just come back from my daily walk to find the wife in a bad mood. She was trying to order stuff from some site, but it all went a bit wrong and ended up arguing with the help line as they messed up her order. Apparently it turns out their website only works on Apple devices and not her phone (not that there’s any mention of this).
So if and when this gets sorted, she’s decided to forego her trip to the gym and needs something covered in chocolate to help cheer her up, washed down with coffee. I need to visit my bank and do a little shopping for myself.
First day of October, where in a couple of weeks time the fair comes to town, as it has done these past 700 years.
These days it’s just a fun fair, but originally it was a fair where local labourers and workers could find employment ( all thanks to Edward III).
Traditionally set up in the centre of town, there have been calls to move it to the recreation ground, as the ‘rides’ have become so big that they dwarf the town centre, and shops and businesses may as well close their doors when the fair comes to town!
Still, it’s a lot of fun and the kids love it (some adults too!)
It stays for two days, then packs up and moves on to some other towns in the area, before returning to our town as a much smaller fair, for two days at the end of the month.
Hope your weather is a glorious as ours this morning.
Have a pleasant day all.
