Right porridge and tea done so dog walk time.

I don't have anything big enough to deep fry a turkey 🦃

 

[PeteXXX]

BTW I'm nearly up.

 

[PeteXXX]

And now I am. 👍

There was an article on the BBC today about warnings being given on the dangers of deep frying turkeys -

- is this really a thing?

Imagine doing that with goose you’d take out the whole street.

Well I have walked up and down stairs twice already today so I think it's safe to say that I am awake .

First cuppa going down well
Looks like there's a sunrise coming up outside.

Morning .
There is some red sky on the horizon but not as much as yesterday's.
I'm going out for a ride with my friends this morning. I will be taking my Orbit Italia, it's turned out to be a good buy as it is nice to ride .

Good morning...

First cuppa going down well
Looks like there's a sunrise coming up outside.

Watching that here as well: Buildings are grey on a white background, and approaching trains are a monochrome silvery orange; as they get closer they change into their natural colours*.

Meanwhile, yesterday I parked my bike in a convenient gap in the furniture warehouse, which was the cause of much hammy objections along the lines of "He comes here for one day and blocks out department" et c.

Arrived this morning to find my colleagues had responded in kind, with this just inside the boundary line:

I'd suggest they'd turned the tables but it doesn't translate well.

*The trains are approaching, not the buildings, before someone** makes comment

The wind and rain continues. I braved it and took my first morning perambulation in a few weeks, mainly because I had a letter to drop in the post but I'm pleased I did. I feel nice and refreshed now.

I have the evening off work as I had three hours leave I needed to use up before the end of the year.

I have exciting plans! I have an appointment with Specsavers to remove ear wax which I hope will return my ears to normal.

My porridge is ready for consumption

The radio informs me if I order my new Peugeot EV before Christmas, I will get three years free servicing!

I often had issues with ear wax blockages, proprietary solutions were ineffective, painful or both. Eventually I learned a trick from a cycle tourist; a couple of drops of hydrogen peroxide, the sort of stuff used to bleach hair, applied in the ear with a syringe. I keep both in the bathroom now, and a problem that used to mean three days of frustration and a doctors appointment is now resolved in ten minutes.

Hydrogen peroxide was/is used as Rocket fuel

That explains why I can hear so quickly afterwards.
