Re: Happy Sunday Folk.
Hello everyone...normal service has been resumed!
Started on the road at 9.15 this morning (Wool, Dorset), drove 138 miles and it took 4 hours! (to Waltham Forest) Can you believe that? Had two very short stops on the Mway. Took the A31, M3, M25, M40(A40), then the A406 North Circular Road. Think that last one was the worse...shoulda stayed on the M25 to M11.
I said to my bruv I had to do the drive on my own to say I could do it, and if I could tackle the Hanger Lane Gyratory system (!) I could tackle anything.
Blimming long day. Stopped off at my local Morrisons for lunch and cold drink, and shopping, then got home and had a go at the bloke doing up the motorbike outside. I had been relaxed for a week but the red mist descended when I discovered he was still at it...music a little too loud and the bike up and down being tested.
He's been cruising for a bruising for 6 months now, with the disturbance right outside my bedroom. When I said that to him I got 'Whatever!' I'll give him whatever!
Oh. That's not all. At the B&B a young couple joined us yesterday evening to go off to a party. Their room was next to mine. Guess what time they rolled in? Gone 2.30am. Talking outside the rooms while they got the key out (admittedly there is no light to see the locks), and noise inside the room. I gave them a very curt 'morning' when they joined me for breakfast and they sat there groaning in tiredness and talking of their party.
Yesterday I'd shared the table with a Dutch pair and the man got on my wick as he bolted down his food and made horrible noises. So I changed my breakfast sitting time so I wasn't with them. And they spent the whole time talking in their language so I was excluded. Charming! Why are people so bloody rude and inconsiderate? I could have stayed at home.
Then off to the allotment to rescue some of my plants...my friend last watered on Thursday and the potatoes had drooped! Bless, but I am grateful for what she has done. Then I had to also water the ground and raised beds, plenty growing there too.
Now showered, most laundry done, unpacked, and just doing a little supper.
Very very hot out there.
And yes, I had a brilliant time in Dorset, thank you for asking.
