Son has just come back from a morning bike run and reports a light dusting of snow on the tops at the head of Loch Creran. Leaves on the cyclepath he says are a hazard as well because they hide any nasties underneath.

It looks bright and sunny outside, but there is one of those lazy winds alledgedly from the North Pole.
At my age, I find if I get really cold, my internal thermometer goes haywire.

Instead of gardening, I have been tidying the dining sewing and knitting room.

I am getting used to the new curtains. At first, I thought eeeekkk they are the wrong colour. That was because they were put up at dusk, with neither daylight or much in the way of indoor lighting. Now I can see it is the right colour.

A 3 hour outing this morning. Cool and wore warmer layers top half with shorts on legs.

Are you sure you will be able to dance in those shoes? I thought that cuban heels were for the Tango, not the Quick Step.

The morning of faffing around and doing very little has been successfully completed. A load of towels have been washed and are on the line to dry - with the combination of the sunshine and the breeze that should be mostly dry when I get home in a couple of hours. The grass should also be dry enough for a quick cut by then as well.

Water butt tap replaced due to giving it a gentle tap with the car last night, that will teach me.
Had to empty 200 litres out before I could start

11C here and University Homecoming Day, so I am avoiding Uptown like the plague.

A snooze on the settee has been successfully completed. 👌

Post breakfast glow. No schedule. No obligations. Just me & my Honey. Priceless

Well we made it to Saturday the 14th.

Are you sure? Is there indeed a reflection in a mirror?

Isn’t that a piece of furniture? Are you a cat?

Nope, no reflection.

I think you might call it a couch over your side of the pond?

Covid jabbed and back on the ebike at the time the appointment was meant be. Location was the chemists in Knaresborough market place and with three lots of seemingly deaf pedestrians on the Beryl Burton cycleway and Waterside going there I made a rare use of the back streets to the west of the market place and the western end of the High Street for the return to avoid Waterside. Thence the A59 hill and onto Morrisons.
The ebike had been greased and lubed since this mornings outing; there had been a faint squeak at times which was probably a somewhat greaseless frame / rear skewer interface.
