Yesterday before the latest storm hit I made a break for freedom/. It turned out to be windy and wet,still it was worfth it and I feel better in myself fr making the effort. At tjhe bottom of the hill I noticed a lot of water on the large green so by Friday this will be a real mess. On the other side of the road the salt water marsh had a lot of water a couple of hours before high tide so that will have overtopped the bank and flooded the road to the beach As I bridged the br…

After a long lay off I am back. As some of you know my dear old mother died on the 19th December and with the covid restrictions we couldn't get the burial until yesterday. It was a long painful wait but at last althought it was a srange service with numbers limited and a lot more limits to put up with we gave her a good send off. Now it's time to cherish the good times and love she gave us and move on as best we can

It's a while since I had anything worth reporting until the last few days. My lland line has a fault so no phone calls there for me,luckily the internet still work.s The next thing to go belly up was my counter top oven it totally refused to work. Then yesterday my kitchen tongs broke in half,so hopefully that is the three bad things On tjhe plus side I had a spare combi oven upstaiirs but it weighs as mch as a small tank. I enlised Ellen to help me manhandle the beast downstairs and in pla…

We talk on the phone a lot but it's not the same, The weekend is aleays good,there is plenty of sport on the tv. My daily bonus is a cha…

Yesterday I noticed a small water leak in my central heating boiler. A phone call was all it took for a pleasant you man to sort it.He didn't have the part needed but as things were safe he left things running until today. He returned as promised fitted the new part and gave everything a good overhaul so now I am set for winter and thanks to my small monthly payment plan there was nothung to pay Weather here still pretty grim,goes with covid crisis I guess

After 8 days of wonderful weather today I awoke to a swirling sea mist and a big drop in temps. This means sadly the shorts are in the laundry basket and much to the relief of my neighbours the knees are covered so they can feel safe going out again. Ah well it was good while it lasted. Roll on spring

We have had some wonderful weather the last tew days and it is set to continue, Attire of choice has been sports shirt and shorts. On Monday morning I mowed and strimmed the front. In the afternoon I mowed the right hand side of rhe back On Tuesday I strimmed the right hand side in the morning and the rest after lunch. So two days good work and time to sit in the sun,lovely job. This morning things changed for the worse. The weather was still as good but as I went out to fill the bird f…

I have been A.W.O.L for a while with rain wind and two back to back storms causing havoc. After a weekend af good dry weather I started once more to beat the garden into some sort of order. On Monday morning I mowed and strimmed the front that was fairly easy thanks to my new mower which is a step up from the old one. In the afternoon I took a look at the back.Both sides had gone too far for the mower so I strimmed the whole of the right hand side. On Tuesday I reaped the rewards of my hard…

On Friday after talking to Jenny I sat in quiet reflection,supping a beer and wondering where summer has gone in this xovid dominated year. Summer is coming to an end I have done little but keep up with the garden. Walks have been short and few and far between. I decided to do something about it. So on Saturday morning I took myself off to the bakery for a long awaited pie fix. I took a detour home and managed just under 2 miles. On sunday I took my self ofto the co-op for a few bits and c…

Since the last dry spell when I got ln top of the garden things jhave got weird. We hd a few days of sunshine and showers before we had a big change Out of the blue we had 3 days with temps around 30c and very high humidity. It was too much for some folk but I enjoyed being outside although indoors was a lttle too much. The next day the temps were down to 26c with low humidity which felt a lot fresher,after that we we back to sunshine and showers until the next main event. Storm Ellen roll…

Talking to Jenny last night she told me about the thunder storm they had I knew we had storms due heading from they south. We had a little skirting the Irish sea but it didn't come to much. I thought we had odged the bullet. This all changrd at around 10:30 when all hell broke loose. For the next 3 hours we were battered by a huge storm. the rain was as heavy as any I remember and the thunder wa deafening Today the tails of flooding were county wide with more storms to come
