Quite nice 2day tho. Saw quite a few bumble bees and some wasps in buzzing round flowery bush earlier.

Walk with ll3 followed by coffee. Nice & sunny and paths not half as muddy as I had feared.

[xoggoth]

Couldn't finish me toothpaste inspection today as the battery on me phone ran out. Damn Google with their stupid update that reduced battery life.

Date with ll3 tomorrow.

While on me walky, had a look where I mentioned that that car had ended up in woods. It had hit a tree in a direction about 45 degrees away from direction of road and at least 5m from it. No tracks nearby and no sign of any damage to the bank or any other trees. Only possibility is it hit another vehicle...

Had an email suggesting I put my little business on Wikipedia. Never heard they did advertising. I see CUK is on there, last sentence says " The forum also includes an ineffective swear filter"

Dolly Parton and other country music singers tribute thing with ll3 was ok last night. We disagreed over whether her *** were genuine. I was proved right when the same lady performed as Patsy Kline.

Volunteer thing at local nature reserve this morning.

Just back from me long toothpaste inspection. Pretty sunny, annoyed I'd forgotten me sunglasses. Dol Parton tribute act with loony lady 3 later.

No comment. Scrooge.

Skied down my compost heap yesterday.

Thoroughly grumpy after drive back from me toothpaste inspection took me an extra 20 mins due to yet more *** road works. Cheering meself up by listening to Fleetwood Mac CD. Nowt has ever compared to Fleetwood Mac or The Moody Blues.

Another old fart thing at local cafe tomorrow. Dunno....

Old farty history group meet at cafe this morning. Off to do some more toothpaste inspections soon.

As expected, took ages setting up Roku stick for loony lady 2 and trying to show her how to use it. I expect I'll be getting lots of text messages asking how to do this and that over the next few weeks.

Really odd, there's a wrecked car in the woods near me and I can't see how it got there,...

Old fart lunch today followed by boring trip to doctors.

Got an email from a lady in Kazakhstan promising me plenty of photos. One good thing about lots of scam emails to your business email address or generic requests from your website contact page is it shows you have a decent presence...

Yeh. Same happened to me a while ago. Annoying!

Shortish walk today, been doing 2+ hour walks this week doing footpath inspections. Drink at village club earlier followed by call on lady next door....

Usual incredible luck with weather. Spent 3 hrs doing footpath inspections, dry and mostly bright. Then rain started 5mins after I got back to the van.

Yeh, U etc just do old stuff but there used to be a few things worth watching, rarely find anything now. Still, sticks are useful if you missed something recent and have an old TV that doesn't work with iPlayer, my5 etc catchups....

[xoggoth]

Mahjongy thing soon with old usual ladies. Loony lady 3 is asking me about way of getting more TV channels. Trouble is, if she gets a Roku/Fire etc stick she will probably expect me to set it up, be constantly asking me how to use it, sign into channels etc. Non techy people with techy stuff are a pain...

[xoggoth]

Nowt on next few days, suppose I can take annoying loony lady 3 out. She seems very isolated.

Bit creepy, hardly ever use facebook, but just had a popup Facebook notification to "friend" someone who's dead! Turns out it's a bloke with same name that I don't know.

Another 2+ hr doing footpath inspection. Back & relax with me puppet parrot. I see that local woodland charity has a photo of volunteers on it's main page, I'm right in the middle with a youngish lady, her arm round me shoulder.

[xoggoth]

Went to visit lady next door. Seemed surprisingly cheerful considering the news. Village club after, chat with her husband & other usual lot.

Took me longer doing footpath report than inspection itself. Making sense of my scrawlings, getting lat/lon locations from photos, converting...
