    How’s things Rev?
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Wet and windy so been playing Zelda Breath of the Wild while listening to Classic FM so not much else to report.

    Just remembered sorted my weed whacker replaced the carburetor now it roars like a lion and the tall weeds don't stand a chance. Eventually ordered some paving slabs (600x200x38mm) after much problems with server errors, double ordering etc which is now sorted.

    Which bit are you paving?
    It's good to hear from you. I've missed your daily updates!
    Do you have any plans to meet up with your sister? What about lunch and bridge club etc any news on whether they will be up and running again soon?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    I'm redoing the path down to the veg plot I've patched up some of it but the last few metres is beyond help so ordered some paving slabs to finish it off.

    No plans to meet up with sis at the moment we keep in touch by phone twice a week.

    Bridge club nothing doing there as you can't social distance and play bridge and we are talking about people in their 70's, 80's and 90's so very vulnerable so can't see bridge returning in the foreseeable future.

    Lunch Club it would be possible to social distance though as the rules for Greater Manchester stand I don't think it would be allowed. I'm in touch with Brenda so I'll know if things change.

    Is weed whacker the technical name? Sounds awesome

    Weed whackers are brilliant. It’s like a strimmer on steroids.

    I'm glad you're in touch with Sis and Brenda. Do you have any other contact with anyone at all?

    TV gave up the ghost (that's the second TV that's died on me in recent years) so using a rather diddy 22" model (where's my opera glasses), PC ticking like a demented wood pecker.

    Did sweet FA yesterday, can I get going today watch this space.
