I was going to go for a pint yesterday after seeing that tried the Castle at Lydford and The Royal at Horsebridge both places you had to reserve a table and the Royal uses email believe it or not! Kind of stops that "I feel like a pint" moment. They seem to have a simpler system where you were.

Aye - just turn up, walk in for a pint. Sit down inside or go outside onto the village green. Twas a lovely few hours. Nice meal, 5 or 6 pints - all in the afternoon sun. For a few hours, everything seemed normal again.

Going to Plympton cricket ground to watch the young grandson play his first practise match of the season.

Fookin flies!

Just picked a bowl full of basil from a window sill for tonights spag bol, twas very pungent.

(More) new hub caps have arrived. Lost 3 in 12 months- all from different wheels! That road from Tavi through Gunni is a fcuker for tyres and hub caps!

Picked some the other night and had Pasta with Pesto. Basil, Olive oil, garlic, nuts and Parmesan cheese. It should be Pine Nuts but I use Cashews as Pine Nuts are dearer than Craic. Tastes ten times better than any bought stuff.

Groan. £480 Ebay selling fees bill just dropped into my inbox.

Took the bhey and his missus to Exmoor yesterday. With no coaches choking the roads I was surprised how quiet (compared to this time of year obvs) it was. Walked along the Lyn had lunch and a cracking couple of pints in The Staghunters in Brendon, another walk then milkshakes in Withypool and then home. Cracking day out.

You’re welcome POI

At Whipsnade Zoo. More than enough of liquid sunshine for us all!

In the shit again! Forgot to put the bins out last night.

Just ran a broadband speed test and I'm getting 1.5mbs, for half the test was running at 0.5mbs! Fookin cheeky cnuts at talk talk are trying to blame the amount of devices turned on at the same time and despite the fact I've got a "faster fibre broadband connection" and I pay for an unlimited usage package. I couldn't download a single Tom and Jerry cartoon at the moment let alone a film. FFS!

Sitting in the dark watching the thunder storm we’ve been promised for the last couple of days.
