    Morning all

    The Dog (tw) has had a big walk.

    Weather looking good, but I suspect indoor jobs are on the cards for today
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

      Loony lady 1 walk this morning. As usual, she phoned to say she would be half an hour late. Gordon Bennet, how long does it take her to hang her washing out?

          Afternoon denizens

          Sunny and Simpsonesque out, and a balmy 22°C both outside and within

              Lovely day out there. The drive to the parentals was uneventful despite all the cyclists on the A24 around Dorking. Car needed a jump start, as expected.

                  Couple of cold southern "fried" chicken drumsticks with a bag of plain crisps for lunch

                  Still a bit peckish; I might have another bag of crisps in a bit

                    It eventually crawled all the way to 84%, running average 83% (83.1%).

                    Not a good day.

                      Chestnut tree update: the tiny conkers that have started developing are now not quite so tiny; more small, really

                      There's also a couple of young ash trees that have sprung up along the line of the boundary with the doctor's front yard. One looks to be a couple of years older than the other, and they're both presumably descended from the large one in the front garden of next-door-but one. Maybe one day they'll inherit its tree preservation order

                      And finally, there's a thing I can't identify (though I know it's not an evergreen), also on the boundary but only about six or seven feet from the houses. At the start of spring this was about two or three feet below the level of my window, but it's really going for it and now is almost level - in fact, I can see the very top of it from my armchair, waving in the breeze. I reckon it'll be tall enough to start providing a little shade from the south within a year or so, in addition to partially blocking the view into the living room for people on the upper decks of buses (though they don't get much of a view, as the height of the ground floor means they're below the level of my windows anyway)
