With excitement and hope that a lot of fundraising events will go ahead this year the gang came to our garden and opened up the new gazebo to see how it all goes together and to check it all. Looks good doesn't it?
With an audience of like minded bikers Hubby showed off his new machine. After they all left and we'd had lunch Hubby said he was going out for a ride (new bikes need running in gently so good to put miles on the clock), however he didn't come home as happy as he'd left because after a lovely long ride and when he was only two streets from home the bike stalled on a minor junction and tipped over. Thankfully he wasn't hurt at all just very embarrassed and cross at the dents and deep scratches on the chrome and the pannier and the back box and a broken brake lever! It will get a full cosmetic makeover but it will never seem brand new again.
Hubby is actually fishing, although it doesn't look like it. FriendsM&P are restocking their pond and we have plenty to share. I'm seeing friendM today (Wednesday) for lunch so I'll take the bucket that now has some oxygenating weed and seven fish in there.
I was a bit worried about going to Felixstowe as it's school holidays and thought it might be really crowded but knew sitting at friendM's beach hut we are three levels above the sand so could definitely keep our distance. However, as you can see it was quite empty and watching those brave/stupid enough to get in the freezing water was quite entertaining 😂
Still knitting a winter jumper but decided it's much better to be getting my vitamin D out in the sun on the lounger with the knitting and tea beside me.
There's been some hairdressing going on in the garden. Daughter gave R the salon treatment, then R took the clippers and scissors to O.
We had a call from the company that did our new front door asking if they could come for the final satisfaction check, so the chap came and also managed to give us a fresh quote for the windows we had a quote for last October and he improved on it a lot. They will be fitted in August.
We both enjoyed this seven part Netflix series.
Garden is fresher and greener because of heavy rain yesterday which thankfully started after Hubby had finished painting our iron single gate, and was raining this morning but stopped now so Hubby has gone back to Daughter's to try and fix her patio door that doesn't want to run on the runners since they were manhandled by paramedics in the early hours this week, they were needed so they were totally forgiven for the door and before you ask everyone is now fine.
Hope you have a good weekend and week ahead, but watch those numbers as the partial unlocking has let the virus spread a bit again so please enjoy socialising again but keep yourself and others very safe too.

so sorry about the bike! understandable that he wasn't as happy. at all.
nice to get a bit of beach time. I miss a bit of coastline. Pics of Bournemouth seemed far busier.
This is typically the quieter end of Felixstowe with not much more than an ice cream and teas kiosk in the car park, the other end is near the huge docks and has playgrounds and cafe, while the middle area has all the seaside amusements and arcades along side fish and chip shops and pubs and restaurants etc.
