Old fart Majongy thing this morning. I came last for the seciod week running. GRUMP! Emailed a neighbour with a copy of a photo I took at village art exhibition because it looked so like her. Turned out it was, she posed for the artist but never received a copy. Printed one out and took it to her this...

The old farts meet up was indoors as too cold for old farts. Grrr. Still, had a nice wander round huge garden afterwards.

Nice longish walk with not loony lady this morning, none of the rain predicted by the weather forecast. Old farts coffee meet up thing soon in a mansion garden.

After a quick call in at local fair took infirm old LL2 to one of those NGS garden things this afternoon, very nice place. We called in at art exhibition afterwards, 3 ladies I know from my art group had stuff up and had sold a few things. Don't think anyone would buy my monstery pics.

Nice afternoon with ll1, apart from the fact that she badgered me into taking a rusty old clothes horse to take to the dump. Got enough junk I haven't got round to taking to the dump.

Could have gone to a music thing with not loony lady 3 today but felt too flipping tired. Performed a rare charitable action on me walk, guided a lost DOE group back to their meeting place.

My new Freesat box is annoying. It doesn't let you put recordings in folders like the old one did, program list scrolling is c*p and can't see any way to delete current viewed recording without stopping and finding it in long list again.

U3A, AKA old farts, group leaders lunch earlier. Never that keen on those things, sitting for ages surounded by loud nattering. Relaxing for a while back home with me little puppet parrot in the garden.

Just back from a talk about the psychology of serial killers with not loony lady 3. Pixked up a DVLC licence application form for ll2 at the post office. She opened the front door wearing nothing below the waist.

Funny coincidence. As I said earlier, loony lady 3 was looking for a parasol and then one popped up on Freecycle this morning, don't recall ever seeing one there before. Anyway, I collected it and delivered to her earlier. Seemed brand new and usused. Got her off me back for a bit.

Eggcellent! Just got a cheque in the post for nearly £1300 from an investment company I used to use following a review of their advice service. Hadn't noticed any major problems with it.

Took ghastly old ll2 to garden centre to look for a parasol. Waste of time, she didn't see one she liked.

Must get round to bringing my Window 11 PC from the spare room to my office. My old Windows 10 is getting very slow, just rename a file and you get that annoying little spinning thing for about 5 secs.

Sorry about the will thing skb. I've recently done power of attorney. My eldest son said he will take me to the council tip and rent out my house for asylum seekers. I hope he was joking.

Couldn't find any settings related to time on Freesat box but it was ok when I used it later. Swearing at it must have sorted it. Off to Mahjongy morning soon.

My Freesat box stopped working so got a new one, arrived today. Hassle setting it up but seems ok except that the time is an hour out!
