Ah! Post thing was signed for Power of Attorney docs. I expect my sons will soon bung me in the loony bin and pocket all my money. Finished bonfire and off for walky soon. But chilly but quite sunny.

Scrabble with old lady nearish neighbour this morning. Didn't finish second game as I accidentally bonked the board when reaching for my phone and messed all the tiles up. Book reading thing this afternoon, I'd actually read something for a change. Not proper walky today due to weather, just 30 min...

Didn't go to woodland volunteer thing this morning, grotty night and couldn't be bothered to roll out of bed. Anyway, we were doing the same thing as last time, rather boring, looking for Rhododendron and hardly finding any. Been trimming the hedge, yawn. Off on walky soon.

I've never had much sense of smell, must have been born with it. Doesn't it make you liable to be attacked by an emu puppet?

What a relief. Just did a Google and find that my PG Tips decaf tea bags are biodegradable non-plastic plant based.
PS Hope plant based does not mean made from Deadly Nightshade and Hemlock.

Art thing this morning. Took some raspberries round to house of one of our regular arty people afterwards, she couldn't drive after eye surgery. She looked like she'd been hit in the eye with a hammer, poor woman.
Rather short walk this afternoon because my foot hurts, damaged summit again....Last edited by xoggoth; 22 September 2026, 19:31.
