Morning peeps in my phone. A sunny blustery and cold morning in Kent, the wind blowing in from the North is biting. Have a good day y’all.

Morning to my haters, people who like me, and all those in between. There’s gold at the end of the rainbow, it’s an arcade. Have a good day y’all.

Good afternoon my imaginary friends. A beautiful day in Herne Bay. Wind surfers out, fishermen on the breakwater, and plenty walking on the front. Even Isle of Sheppey looks good in the sun. Have a great day y’all.

It’s not all fun in the sun down here. Blowing a hooley and raining today, coming from that direction. Was wild earlier with some bigger waves.

Morning peeps. Fecking local alarm caller birds (Seagulls) have been noisy this morning, woke me up. But hey that’s a perk of being by the sea…

Morning people of the world. Sadly had to come up to Nuneaton to finish my last bits, if they don’t fit in the car… Just got this on email, and there is a lead in question if ever I saw one - well done Sky at Night magazine. Have a good day y’all.

Morning everyone in my phone. For the haters here’s me with my view from the bedroom window, Isle of Sheppey and Sarfend in the far distance. Just a pity it’s a tad damp and you can’t see them. Have a great day y’all.

Afternoon kiddiwinks. A bit late today, but then when you are running late for work - even though I get there 30 minutes early - you forget to do things, yes it’s an age thing. Have a great day y’all.
