It has been a wet, grey day today, not particularly cold though. I spent the morning indoors, I had promised Isobel I would try to make up one or two of the paper decorations I got a template and papers for then send her pictures. She wants the green one, her favourite colour at the moment so I made a pink one first to make sure I was doing it right. It is a wooden template.

I wrote several letters last night so went out in time to catch the Saturday collection. Then wandered over to a completely deserted park, it was pretty damp and horrid when I went out.

I took a look at the wall in the back garden when I got back. The builder has worked on it for a while and it is now straight and will last our stay here out without a doubt!

On the way back from the park there was one solitary rose in one of the gardens, such a bright spot on a grey day.

This afternoon Darren got the bike into the boot of the car and we went to Halfords, I have had it six weeks now and they do a check to see that all is well. I really wanted to see if the saddle could be moved back. They had moved it as far as possible but only about a centimetre, will try tomorrow and see if it helps with the pain in the knees.  The guy also altered the angle of the handlebars saying that might help, I couldn't really see what difference it would make to my legs but it will make me sit more upright which is probably a good thing! Got a cd through the post from Mike of favourite songs from Strictly. Have been playing it and really enjoying lots of popular songs with good beats.
