Morning all. I'd like to say it's WFH today but that will be nigh on impossible looking after Joseph and Sophia, as Alex is taking her mum to a hospital appointment in London today.

The good news is that the diary is pretty clear, the bad news is that I have a rather important call with the bank at 10.30.
Hopefully Sophia will be asleep and Joseph will be engrossed in Paw Patrol or something similar to allow me to deal with it. (fat chance).

Morning all.
Off to Lymington today as the first stage of the Maserati Owners Club tour of the Isle of Wight tomorrow. Then staying with friends on the island. Might remember to take some pics.

Need to do some more mowing today. The house (well, garden) is being used for a photo shoot tomorrow for a company that sell garden furniture. (www.rattanandteak.co.uk)

Just got a message from Dorset Tractor Restoration confirming they finished my Lambo late last night, so will be displaying it the Three Okesford Rally (www.threeokesfordrally.co.uk) this weekend. I have to go tomorrow for the big reveal and hand over - so cameras at the ready!

Link that works: https://www.threeokefordsrally.co.uk

Don't forget to pop into The Royal Oak at Okeford Fitzpaine for one of their odd but excellent burgers!

Morning, all. Como still good. Most colleagues have now left, apart from the smart ones who stay for the weekend. Moving today from the work hotel to an AirBnB looking over the lake from a different view. Some work stuff to get done and then an afternoon of doing more or less sod all. Tomorrow, rent a boat, eat more food, drink more coffee, some beer, wine, food, float around a bit, food, wine.

I have the day off today as my daughter is moving house and we are helping, which probably means cleaning up someone else’s mess.
Why is is when you move your leave the house immaculate and much cleaner than when you lived there, but the people leaving the house you bought are always dirty feckers that leave the place in a state.
Anyways- daughter # 1 will be closer to home which is great.
Later, I will get to the pub for a few ……

We have that joy next weekend, Sam. Or the one after. Should find out; I'm sure my shifting shite expertise will be needed.

As chance would have it, I do know a **** actress that lives there. Goes by the name of Pixie Peaches. She's very petite in real life.
Any relation to Sir Geldof; two of his children are Pixie and Peaches, I think, or not?

Morning Andy and everyone.
@2b1ask1 Newton I hope you got some sleep mate.
The joys of self employment.
Well nearly into the weekend and one of my cats rushed to see the emergency vet last night at 19.30 and now in the surgery.
She was not in a good way when I found her and looks like she has taken some poison.
Stay Safe all.

I hope it wasn’t antifreeze, I expect you know that cats are fatally attracted to it.
