It's dark and damp outside.

I had really hoped my tailgate struts would have been delivered by now but the latest update says now entering the Hermes network and the ETA has changed to the 23rd.

Weekend lie in not to plan. MrsF up at before 7 to go to a knitting and sewing show in Harrogate. Then her sister kept phoning the house phone (selected wrong contact, ie not my wife's mobile) so had to get up twice and phone her back. Now I'm up, better put the coffee on and fix a slightly fogged up headlamp on the Aygo.

Forecast says light rain showers and a brisk wind so why is heavy rain with a gale behind it battering my front windows?

Cattle wandering around on the main single track road heading south. Nobody has hit them yet but with the bends in the road and speeds many do it can only be a matter of time.

Library day so need to venture out in the rain sometime. At least I can drive right to the door of the library which is probably not approved of but nobody has so far objected. If anybody does object I can always wave my blue badge at them as well as my stick.

I made it to the cafe for breakfast

It's deceptively warm this morning, especially after walking up a steep hill. I wore the wrong coat.

I heard my first Christmas song of the year on the radio

You'd think Brenda Lee would be bored with rockin' around the Christmas tree by now.

Good morning from a thoroughly wet & miserable Suffolk. It looks like it's going to be an indoors day.

Back from a lovely 15 miles on the bike, damp underfoot and grey but not actually raining.
First cuppa went down well on my return.

I just got accused of not paying for my shopping in LIDL! And not even an apology from the person who accused me. So, somewhere else to veto, alongside John Lewis, Leeds and DPD.

Dull drizzly uninspiring morning so once again the ebike stayed in the shed. Traffic getting a bit bonkers; stacks like @fossyant heading to the knit & snitch show.
Had 15% Sparks vouchers on shoes and slippers and in need certainly of the former and no doubt soon the latter. Used them together with just over £15 worth of Topcashback/ credit card reward vouchers to save close to £30. Also got 50p off a Christmas iced fruit cake bar. Picked up a pack of their free from Mince Pies, 25p dearer than Waitrose's which seem to be the best and have doubts that these will be better.
Waitrose was disappointing, no 2 pints of semi skimmed. Still have to go near it again on Monday at least so hopefully use of the 50p off voucher then.

I was questioned momentarily in M&S on Wednesday re the bananas I had. The guy seemed to think I had not scanned them. They were the only item purchased so I was puzzled as to what he thought I was just about to scan my card for. Got my own back by leaving the sticky price label stuck to the shelf below the self service till.

What did Leeds accuse you of doing?
