I moved some paving stones before going on a walk with some friends from church. The weather forecast was a bright start followed by sunshine and showers. Fortunately we missed the showers bit. In the middle of the walk I saw a tandem going past - it was my parents!
As my back garden is suitably dry I cut the grass. Afterwards I looked in the mirror and had quite a surprise... I seem to have a red forehead and a red nose.
Sunday - 25th May
After church despite the weather forecast I was able to cement my fifth row of paving stones together. I cut the grass in my front lawn, it took quite a while as I haven't cut it regularly this year.
I spotted several newts in my pond, I went for my camera. When returned only one sleepy looking newt was visible. I am beginning to think newts are camera shy.
Saturday - 24th May
When I was packing my weeks food into my car I noticed something unusual happen. I large red lorry arrived at the supermarket and it had blue lights on its roof, yes it was a fire engine. I guess it was a safety check as they didn't have their siren or blue lights on.
Later in the day I positioned another row of paving stones. I had to keep an eye on the time as I was going to my parents for tea. One of their neighbours was coming to celebrate her 93rd birthday!

Statistician came up with some interesting figures, apparently if the cost of fighter aircraft keeps increasing by the year 2050 the US will only be able to afford 1 fighter! With this in mind the joint strike fighter project took place between British and American firms to develop a general purpose cheap fighter which can be adapted for a variety of roles, e.g., to have vertical take off for the British Navy.
Monday - 12th May

The weather was a little better so managed to cut the grass before it rained in the afternoon.
In the evening I watched the Spanish Grand Prix. The Renault cars were surprisingly competitive with the new Ferrari. I suspect there will be lots of people scratching their heads trying to understand how Alonso (Renault) managed to split the Ferraris. Michael won the race and Rubbens was 3rd. Mclaren had a disasterous race, with neither of their cars finishing. Jordan's Ralph Firman came 8th getting his first Formula 1 point.
