I like to keep my dinghy from getting dingy.
In fact, here is my dinghy on my rather dingy landing, with its period wallpaper.

In the end i used the 'compliments, comments and complaints' online form in the, probably vain, hope that it reaches the right eyes.
Anyway, thanks again Green Power Ranger.

Fancy getting my dingy and dinghy mixed up I suppose that makes me a dingbat or is that wombat?

Is that a MiG-25 "Foxbat" hanging above your dingy?

My Beautician in Home Farm, Milford told me she had received a text today informing her the Lichfield Road through to Milford will be open again after tonight. Will still be traffic lights further up towards Stafford.
Opening a few days earlier than planned because of the Ironman event taking place at Shugborough on Sunday apparently.

I saw a rumour elsewhere, though I can't find it now, that this "opening" was only temporary, just for the Ironman event, and it was all going to be dug up again afterwards.
"Public" footpaths, bridlepaths, etc, that pass through Shugborough will be suspended for the event, I understand.

Today's Big Picture on BBC News website.
I used to live a couple of hundred yards upstream, on this bank - you can have a cup of tea in my bedroom now...
A mate of mine was fishing just downstream from here once and I stopped to chat to him as I cycled past. Unfortunately, he didn't notice my arrival and I put my foot into a water-vole burrow, taking both of us and the bike into the river. He was remarkably unamused.

My 17 year old cousin text me asking for help!
I thought he was going to ask me to buy him drugs...
Instead he wanted advice on where to take a girl on a first date!
I must stop thinking the worst of the youth today!

After a couple of weeks in the classroom, I expect you'll soon change your mind
