I do both now, I was invested as a Scout Leader last week. Khaki shirt and everything.

Guides Monday and Wednesday and then Scouts on a Friday. For some obscure reason, I have agreed to camp with the scouts in November, I must be mental.
It's really easy to keep warm, hot water bottle wrapped in a towel in the bottom of the sleeping bag..................................toasty :becool:

We have been offline, it was about 15 minutes ago anyway.
The notice has gone now but it said offline for about 2 hours. I didn't notice the outage.
 
It's back:hyper::dance:

Did anyone try anything exciting to take their mind off their cravings.... I rode a bike:okay: and tidied my bedroom:angry:

I tried sleeping, it didn't work despite being dark outside at the time.

Chinese buffet was on the cards for tonight until Mrs LL phoned to say she had puncture(car) on motorway so was waiting for breakdown chappy. Originally told could be 90 minute wait. Has she got a coat in the car? Has she heck as like! As luck would have it only 60 minutes freezing her t*ts off. Just waiting to see how it becomes my fault

My oh is the same. He sees no point in taking s warm coat with him when he's in the car and it's warm. I on the other hand think the extra weight in the car won't really affect it and take the darn thing! I think it's a difference between (for us anyway) him being a city person and me having grown up rurally.. I got used to long cold waits when something happened (not if but when) and also learnt to be independent and to deal with it myself (like digging the car out of a snow drift or having to walk the final mile home across the fells because of flooding in the valley... The idea of not taking a waterproof with you.. You only make they mistake once. It's still a mute point here in Australia. Can I get him to take water in the car with him? Why does he think it is solely for drinking? The car could need it, you could need it to clean an injury with, wash hands in after moving a rock or dead animal off the road etc... But can I get him to carry any... Next one will be sun cream in the car for when it's needed (car windows all have UV filtering, but what about when you get out of the car?)...

Today is my monthly visit to see Jack and his wife.Jack being an old Postie mate of mine.Who took me under his wing back in 72 when i joined Royal Mail.So i am waiting for the bus,alone.I look down and find a wallet.Bus comes,i check the wallet on the bus,loads of cards and £85 in notes.So home i come four hours later.Mrs Postman finds a phone number for the name after googling it and checking the address on the driving license.One happy builder coming round in the morning.He is only working two streets away,he called in for a sarnie at our local cafe.He had already cancelled his cards,but he thought his cash would be long gone.Nice result.

I went into work early to cast a new design of transformer as it is a long process. First thing I did was open the new batch of PU resin to charge the potting machine and the flippin' stuff is black, not unpigmented as it should be. Cock up by the supplier.

So that was an hour less sleep for nothing.

Grumpy bunny.

Stick at it, I will have given up for 8 years come December. Hardest thing I ever did but so worth it. The best thing ever is taking a deep breath on a frosty morning and it not hurting.

I went there last month, I agree it is expensive, we loved every second of it though. Not brave enough to try cycling in the city as I think I would have died quite quickly, but we are going back!!

Luckily I was working so I wasn't paying.

Unluckily I was working so didn't get to see much.
