It's legal to grow 3 plants here. I've never grown anything before.

Not had any in 30 years. Will be interesting to try home grown stuff. But just for a giggle 😃

Writing an eulogy for a Royal Marine who served for seven years, being at Suez Canal and other locations. Was in the reserves for a further 5 years.

Spent the afternoon with his wife who is in hospital after breaking her hip. She was bright as a button, mobility now gone, but sharp as anything and happy to have a visitor who would listen to her talk about her handsome man. Anointed her, prayed for her and blessed her. I have the funeral order sorted out now and will do a Church funeral followed by committal at the Crem next Friday. Most of their friends have died, so it will be a small affair.

I am grateful for meeting people who let me share their stories and to hear about their adventures over many years. I'll raise a glass of single malt to George tonight.

One who forgives an affront fosters friendship, but one who dwells on disputes will alienate a friend.

Booked the van in online for an MOT. Was about to book the wifes car also to be told it needs at least two bloody tyres also. Nothing like leaving it till the last minute. No option to add tyres and MOT together online so will have to go into garage now.

Having a brew before heading for Chichester.

I'll ask everyone I meet if they're Irie. :D

Sat outside watching the rain. Very exciting. First since February.

Can see one of my drainage systems working. Won't see the second one unless it really comes down heavy.

Just reading the local online rag while I try to get into this thing they call work and for which I receive a salary. I came across this - it's not worthy to be put in the "News" thread - Audi driver gets fined and three points for going over 70mph on a duel carriageway. That's it. That is the story :think:

Cracking bit of rugby on the go. All Blacks ahead despite the run of play.

The All Blacks defending just before half time, had me right on the edge of my seat.
