Mum twisted my arm to get Max. At first I wasn't keen. Looking after her was a full time job and I couldn't see I'd have time to train him.
She insisted and that's how Max came into my life.
Sadly, mum passed away a year later. He's been such a good companion

Name your top 4 80s films.

So many good films to choose from. So I've gone with those I've probably watched the most.

Good morning Bluesky

After a rainy night. This morning's dry and even some blue sky showing. I'd better take Max for a walk. Before the forecast showers arrive.

Have a great day everybody

In the garden today. Sadly all that's survived yesterdays heavy frost.

Post a book you love from the 80s. No explanations, no reviews, just covers.

I'll admit I've given in and put the central heating on.

Back to dull, overcast and wet this morning. Just the sort of winter weather I hate. I'd much rather it be sunny yet cold and frosty.

Have a great weekend everybody.

Greenhouse tidied a final time and the last of the pots put away for the winter.
No doubt my back will play up tomorrow from all the lifting.

First frost of the winter last night. One advantage of living near the coast. We're spared a lot of the really cold weather. Sadly that also means it rarely snows enough to lay thickly and I love snow.

Have a great Friday everybody

Just back from walking Max. The stream through the village has kept the nearby trees in leaf.

I can never understand, why our small town has traffic jams almost as bad as most cities.
What's normally a 5 minute drive to my local Sainsbury's took almost 40 minutes this morning.
I just wish the council would listen to real people. When they tell them the traffic improvements won't work.

It might be turning chilly. But many of the perrenials are flowering late into November.

Have a great Thursday everybody

Good morniong Bluesky.

Heavy hail woke me at just after 4am. The noise of it pounding the roof was almost defening. Poor Max didn't know what to make of it.
Fingers crossed there's no more today.

Have a good day everybody

When I went to bed last night. The car was covered in ice. The sky was clear and I was expecting a heavy overnight frost. To my surprise, I wake up to it being overcast and raining.

Have a great day everybody

In an attempt to cheer me up on a cold dark UK night. My brother sent this pic of the sunset in Bali earlier.

A calm and still morning after yesterdays rain. First job after walking Max. Is to clear a blocked gutter. A messy job that I really hate, but has to be done.

Have a great day everybody

Yesterday's sunny weather, has given way to steady rain. Thankfully I'm missing the worst of the weather that's forecast for the UK today.

Take care out there and have a great day.
