    Rubbish weather stopping you scooting after waiting so long for everything to to come right with it. Hopefully it’ll eventually stop raining and you can get full use of it.

    Grr, the amount of 'stuff' on pavements is ridiculous. All sorts of signs, bicycles chucked down at shop doorways, bags of rubbish etc etc :mad: Hope you have a better day - raining now here :(

    Hi Beanie :) I once fell over a bollard. There was a whole row of them fixed in the ground so no idea how that happened. Well actually that's not true, I was a bit squiffy and was trying to get through the gap but staggered and went straight over one. :rotfl:

    Donated a few things to the FB today, it always makes me think of you :) I'd put a bag of sugar in then went to my usual shop to pick a couple up to add to the Brexit stocks only it had all gone. They didn't have any last week either. Nearly went and asked the FB if I could have mine back :D

    Weather dry but damp here today. No chance of getting any washing on the line which is driving me nuts. xx
