Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Morning all, bright and breezy here and agree @jazzy hopefully the hot weather will stay away. Couple of years ago my friend brought me a present - book called F****ing Brilliant, her language is getting terrible in her old age lol . Anyway it’s a sort of five year diary where you jot down a thought for each day. Last year the temperature on 17th was 32 and on 19th it was 40.🥵 Hopefully nothing like that this year. Mr G off painting today so I’m off up town on my own.
Have a good day,all.💙

It was bright and sunny( ISH ) here G so I put the washing out. Literally 2 minutes later if started chucking it down. Well it's only a shower and there's sun later so it's staying out!

Morning everyone,

@Terrarian please let's us have a short post just to let us know that you and Daisy are ok.

Ok morning everyone. Start of another Ashes and Open week but not sure that the weather got the memo.

Been to the last 2 Opens at Hoylake but not going to this one. Just saw a bizarre announcement that buses will replace trains between West Kirby and Hoylake , absolutely mad.

Anyway got to wait in for a delivery this morning so no particular plans but weather improving this afternoon so I'm sure I will be gardening at some point. I know the weather's unsettled but honestly I wouldn't want those 40 degree temperatures in Europe as a gift.

Well , whatever you do I hope you have a great day.

I went to Hoylake on Saturday, the level crossing at the station is going to be out of action for the duration to make it easier for people to move around, hence no trains for the last stop. There’s also a temporary bridge over the road by the station for the same purpose.

Could have been involved in the marshalling this week, but the thought of getting over there from Walton everyday put me off
 

Good afternoon lovelies. Sunny and windy here today. No rain though. Today I learned a new word - peng. In the context that a woman was told she had a 'peng' figure. I had no clue what it was. Apparently it means pleasing/attractive/fit/hot. So now you know. I did a bit of googling and apparently it is derived from a Jamaican word that was used to mean good quality weed. Every day is a learning opportunity.

Hope Mrs D had a nice birthday @Ducans elbow. I like the sound of your book @Gwladysover.

I'm looking forward to our trip to Liverpool this weekend. It will be the first time we've been for a social visit since Dad's funeral so it will be a bit strange being there.

Mr F and I have booked Bank Holiday weekend away in Scotland - western Highlands in a place called Acharacle. We've been before, it is absolutely stunningly beautiful and it also means that I get to drive on my favourite road - the A82 through Glencoe. Hopefully the midges will be busy that weekend and leave us alone.

I was there yesterday and they’ve put a covering over the lines to get people in to the course, hence why trains simply can’t get to to West Kirkby.

We’re going back this week, but the plan is to get off the train and walk towards West Kirkby station and enter the course as a quieter gate.

The main entrance is going to be crazy and then trying to get across the course will be a real hassle. On a different note, the course looks great.

To be honest I don’t know where the entrances are, we were on holiday the first time the championship came back and avoided it last time. I was there on Saturday to go the pub with my wife and two out of three sons for a few birthday pints. I might walk down there in the week for a nose around.

Main entrance is on Moels Drive opposite Morpeth Road. If you know where Pinforth Lane is, there’s an entrance there, with more on Stanley Road*.

It’s a big operation this year due to the numbers and the concern of the oil protesters: something like LOTS of marshalls.

*Opposite side of the course.
