Today I shall be Mainly...

[Big Kev]

Thanks for that Kev. Did you look at the Marble Church while you were there?

Going to get some pics there today, I brought the Nikon and a tripod with me so may get some at sunset.

That would be good if you did. Its a lovely spot. We used to pass it when we travelled to Anglesey a lot

There's a few, I took with my phone this morning, on the Where Have You Just Been thread.

We have enjoyed a visit from Stanley and Susan this morning.

[Stanley]

And Susan and I agreed it was very enjoyable and so nice to sit down with Col and chew the fat..... Lovely!

[Stanley]

Reflecting on a lovely meeting with two very special people yesterday.
Today I am back to normal.... I shall be in the shed first thing doing useful things to my engine and later I shall be doing a bit of shopping on the web, I need some cheerful curtains for my kitchen! The rest of the day I shall be resting, gathering strength for a busy week of travelling and visiting with Susan. We are working our way through a mini bucket list!
Sue, that's how I know the Marble Church also, we used to call in on our way to Rhyl and Anglesey.....

[Stanley]

This morning I bolted the top caps down tight onto the bottom brasses, had a measure and marked a centre for the bore. Then I took the crosshead guides off and put a better finish on the face of the slide in the bed.Then I set the bed up under the pillar drill and bored a 3/16" pilot hole to check my accuracy. That was satisfactory so I finished up with the half inch drill. I shall test fit the shaft tomorrow.... Now for breakfast.

Morning

What a hot day yesterday ,34 degrees though thankfully there was a very cooling breeze under the trees in the garden. It was still 28 degrees, in the house when we came to bed despite having blinds down and all the fans in the house on. It is already 20 degrees this morning. It was practically impossible to sleep until about 5 even though we have a portable air cooler/ air conditioner on in the bedroom. Remember we are in our cool summer bedroom now , it would have been awful in the master bedroom. Thankfully today is the last of the very hot weather and temperatures return to a more normal 24 degrees from tomorrow. Barbara and Bill will be here from Friday for a week and will be sleeping in that other room. There is a cooler option but the master bedroom has an en suite

Due to the heat again today will be relatively inactive. We intend going to La Gacilly to book Sunday lunch for next week and have a walk in the shade looking at the annual photo exhibition. Have a good day all

[Stanley]

Morning Sue.... Yes it's been hot in bed even in my cool north facing bedroom. We are into more reasonable temperatures, in fact it could be quite gloomy for a couple of days and as cool as 17C for a high which will be a change.
Susan is chauferring me round on some visits and today we might have a short set off , I shall have to make a call when she gets here....
Right now I'm going to be adventurous and shop for some curtains for the kitchen on line!

[Stanley]

I shall decline early doors in the shed because I overslept and am running late this morning. Later after second sleep I am going to have coffee with two friends of mine I haven't seen for years, all part of my Bucket List tour....

[Sue]

Morning

Thankfully it was a bit cooler during the night and we slept better. This morning is so dark I thought it was an hour earlier, anyway it is set to clear and be a cooler 29 degrees. We didn’t do our trip to La Gacilly yesterday, it was far too hot so we intend going this afternoon after a bit of gardening. Bob wants to prune the last few bushes and I want to tidy the veggie garden a little, all before it gets too sunny. After changing the bedding and doing a bit of washing, gardening and apple picking we spent most of yesterday reading under the trees. Have a good day all

[Stanley]

s retreated.
I have just had another two hours sleep so I shall look at what mischief I can get up to in the next couple of hours until Susan comes for me and I go to see my friend Vicky.....

[Stanley]

I have no social engagements today and was up in good time so I am looking forwards to a quiet normal day. I shall start it by doing an hour in the shed and just maybe, a bit of casting painting later this morning!

[Stanley]

This morning I fitted the crankshaft in its bearings. As is usual, I had to do quite a bit of adjusting before I was satisfied. It's a snug fit but that's how it should be at this stage of the build. Now for breakfast.

[Sue]

Morning

Its another dark start to the day, I have had to put the light on in the bedroom to write this. Its due to be 24 degrees with cloud and a little rain this afternoon. I doubt it will be much. It will be nice to be cooler after over a week of very hot weather.

Today I have a little upstairs and master bedroom cleaning to do ready for Barbara and Bill arriving on Friday. We are actually going up to meet them on Thursday at Giverny, Monets Garden, but leaving tomorrow for an extra days sight seeing trip. This morning Bob wants to finish cutting the last two shrubs and its a weekly shop this afternoon. I have zoom pilates at 6.15. Have a good day all

[Stanley]

Morning Sue, we are promised 17C again. I hope your day goes well....

[Stanley]

I shall decline the shed and get back to bed early for second sleep after my breakfast because I have another bucket list item to attend to today.... Susan and I are having lunch at the Cow and Calf with Chris Martinez an old friend of mine..... I'm looking forward to it and want to have plenty of time to scrub up!
(This bucket list lark is tiring!)
