Hard frost here, right up to the edges of the building, and only just starting to thaw as the sun peeps over the hedgerow. But it's a beautiful clear blue sky out there, and I'm thinking of going to the seaside tomorrow or Tuesday if it stays like this.

This morning I'm on a train from Wakefield to Grantham, then a local connection. It's been probably 3 years since I was on a train, when my freewheel went on a vintage bike somewhere near Castleford.
I'm picking up my late mum's car, where I'll be the temporary custodian.

The forecast says mist today but in fact it is thick fog which is very rare here.
My outside thermometer refuses to connect to the indoors bit so no idea of temperature. The outdoor sender is in the middle of a bush and so far has always worked. New batteries as well. Need to find a better place for the sender.
Ferries seem to be running as normal tho' in summer if foggy they often get cancelled as there are too many yachts which are invisible to radar likely to get run down.
I remember in the early 1970's MV Columba coming into Craignure and completely invisible in the fog. We could hear her
fog horn approaching and a man was at the end of the pier with a tin tray and a hammer.
One blast on the horn followed by battering the tin tray until she appeared slowly out of the fog and berthed.
This sounds like a made up story but I was there and witnessed this.

Good morning from Suffolk where the weather has reverted to the traditional grey & gloomy with occasional drizzle in the air as well.
The first cuppa of the day is long done and, although my preference is not to do domestics on the weekend, there's some ironing that needs to be done after a very late breakfast due to being out on Monday when this sort of thing would normally be done. There should still be plenty of time for an afternoon stroll IF the conditional allow.

Time to visit No1 daughter & Granddaughter for a cuppa.
Have spoken to broken into neighbour and she said that the rapscallions that smashed her patio doors to gain entry had damaged a gate on someone's garden in the next road down and got over several fences to her garden. Unfortunately, nothing shows on our cameras as they didn't come through ours!

Second cuppa went down well
Still a few blue sky patches amongst the clouds, so any electrical consumption is using the free electric the solar panels supply

And now there's a little bit of sleet added to the rain thanks to a thin rain band coming in off the North Sea and just clipping the Suffolk coast before bothering Kent. So much for this afternoon's walk - I think an afternoon of sitting around listening to the radio is on the cards.

A chilly lunchtime stroll under blue and grey skies .
Today will see the finals of the European Elvis Championships held in Birmingham.
This snipped of mundane news also gives me the opportunity to tell my favourite knock knock joke ( for the nth time )
Knock Knock
" Who's there? "
" Wurlitzer "
" Wurlitzer who? "
" Wurlitzer One for the Money..."
Sorry, I'll get my coat...

New sofa assembled. Came with a 13mm spanner in the bag of bits. Normal pretty useless mini Allen key but did require a screwdriver to be provided. Short of a nut so a rummage in shed needed.
Edit: just found the missing nut under a door bottom draft excluder.

I just cleaned the shower. These exciting activities are part and parcel of the jet setting expatriate lifestyle.
