There's a medieval house near us with a coffee shop and beautiful gardens. As can be seen in the picture below some of the benches in the gardens have gaps and then a shelf next to them

This is so that a wheelchair user can sit with their friends and have somewhere for their coffee :)

I've just discovered that one of my rose bushes is being eaten to a skeleton by rose sawfly caterpillars.

I bought some cake things from Tesco, my OH pulled the pack out the cupboard and they are 6 dates past the best before date. I didn't bother checking the date when I picked up the pack.

The first two dresses I tried to for going out tonight were both a bit too tight. That's given me the message I needed to hear.
Luckily outfit no.3 is looser and cooler!

I was sat I a queue of at least six cars (and many more behind me) waiting to turn onto a main road.
The driver of car number three in the queue was unaware that the first two cars were parked and had no occupants!

I was just pulling some weeds out of a border unaware that my hair was about to catch on a large cobweb.

Which in turn was home to a very large and scary looking spider 😳

Rain! Although it would have been a bigger disaster if I'd been organised, given my washing its extra spin, and hung it out.

I ordered three new watch straps for my Suunto from an American company (three because the shipping was as much as a single band, so it turned out to be as good as I anticipated it being I didn't want to have to pay for shipping twice).
I measured the width of my current watch band, and ordered the size advertised as being that same.

It turns out I should have measured the length of the pins, not the width of the band, so my very lovely looking new watch straps have pins too small for my Suunto.

I can take the pins out of the silicone Suunto strap, but they are too thick for the metal pin mount bits on the lovely new straps.

Does anyone want some really lovely stretchy fabric watch straps (made from recycled plastic bottles) with thin, 22mm long, quick change pins?
