I did get out and do a bat monitoring session last night - part of the national waterway survey in August each year - without getting wet. There were a few pipistrelles about and a couple of noctules and serotines passing by, but no Daubenton’s which is what this particular survey is looking for.

Today will be getting the chores out of the way then - if the rain shows any chance of dying down - out to an open air Shakespeare this evening. It will be ‘Exit pursued by a very damp bear.’ I expect.

Tomorrow: third attempt to get these shelves up. It has been postponed twice so far.

Spent the morning running errands, hospital appointment, breakfast with mum now I’m staying indoors for the rest of the day. Currently awaiting a cheeky chinese for lunch.

Weekend without the family - Day 2.

Have spent the day in bed. Read for a few hours. Ate last night’s takeaway pizza. Had a nap. Looking forward to more reading before 7 when me and my brothers are jumping on for some late night Videogame action.
