Good morning.
For a while I have been in the house, so yesterday we went for the obligatory old persons Sunday drive. Sometimes it is nice just to get out for no reason. Went to the sea near Kirkcudbright and then into the hills near Gatehouse of Fleet. The red kites were out in force and the wind and rain was never very far away, painting the sky every shade of grey you can imagine.
Anyone else just get out there for no reason?!

Good Morning DumfriesDik..
Totally guilty of the above, even if just sitting in the car, your description sounds heaven(not a red kite but)?????⛈
Oh yes or a latte, great stuff..☕️..
Sometimes even take a drive to Tintern Abbey just for a short stroll sit down outside, must recommend the little cafe for the coffee and cream scone, other things available..
Have many happy childhood memories spent holidaying around that neck of the woods in the 70’s. In the 90’s my parents lived near Kirkbean, and I used to take my kids there every summer!
@DumfriesDik good morning to you too ?
A drive into the forest with a coffee and sandwich and a book. Sometimes for a change a drive to the sea.
I was up at 4.30am, read a book for a bit, then sorted my study with a top to bottom clean-up. Finished that and set about my bedroom too – everything except hoover as didn’t want to wake the household. Fed the dogs, made breakfast & woke wife at 7am so she could get ready for her work.
Pre-heated the Soul EV at 8am and set off nice and toasty to take her and her guide dog to work, a 30 mile round trip down the A90 and back. Sun was just painting the sky pink as I left her at work.
Now sitting in my newly cleaned study and working from home – well, until I clicked on the forum!
Washing machine now on its second load of the day, rooms hoovered – this working from home malarkey certainly lets me get a lot done with the removal of my hour each way commute.
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
How do I hire you Abercol ?
Morning all. @Brydo – join the queue!!
I went to Gretna Gateway yesterday. It is now Caledonia Park. It is being refurbished but still no roof and yes, the wind still whistles up the middle.

I say, Abercol… You’ve been a bit lax there – no dusting done and what about the ironing? Come on – get your act together! ?
No need, Tharg!
Blind wife does the ironing – something I never liked doing but she does.
Our cleaner arrives Wednesday morning – she does all the dusting & cleaning/hoover of lounge, family room, hallways, stairs (3 sets) kitchen, bathrooms, wife’s bedroom, wife’s study & the entrance room. She’s very hard working and does the lot in 3 hours or so (takes me lots longer than that).
Its her first week back after xmas, but things are not too bad as we use a robot vacuum to keep things ticking over and I tend to give the kitchen worktops etc a good clean when cleaning up after dinner & have a go at the bathrooms etc if the cleaner has a week or two off.
She does not do my room, my study or the spare bedrooms, so they fall to me.

Morning all. I don’t like to rub it in, but it was the best nights sleep for a long time, yay for me!
Have a great day y’all.

paracetemol done, just waiting for the bread maker to finish for toast for the morphine.
try not to take it too early so it still has some effect when physio starts at 9.
Nice one @mitch, we have a bread maker which doesn’t get used so much these days being diabetic. Makes the house smell like a home.
Physio at 9? Thats early but enjoy!

its a service run by the local council an hour on shapemaster machines followed by an hour of chair based exercise. reffered by your gp you get 12 weeks free 12 weeks for £60. then if you want to continue its £3 per class or £22 a month. i do 9 classes a week so the monthly fee is best for me.
my bp is down 10 points now ave 121/62, now i am hoping to lose enough weight to get them to operate on my spine. seeing the pain clinic specialist at 3 this afternoon.
