Mundane News

[tyred]

I had a nice walk out after work when I went to the newsagents to pick up a magazine and added a few miles extra. Pretty cold out, parts of the pavements need treated with care.

Had some nice hot vegetable soup and wheaten bread when I got home.

All ready to do a bit of reading now.

Good to know that even this snow and cold weather doesn't deter the determined boyracer.

Just put Mrs 73’s pj’s on the radiator to warm and her penguin hot water bottle in the bed. Should be nice and toastie by the time she’s home.

I was wondering what all the noise was. Teenagers on quad bikes are messing about in the snow on the road outside. What effective road policing we have.

Had an "I'm not cooking" supper, which consisted of the last of the cream of cauliflower soup, some sausage rolls, a scotch egg, some fruit and a

"Canaries" due to the materials being used. Hazardous work, and a job that left them with serious health problems.

Just looked at the weather forecast for the weekend and it looks like it's getting above freezing and a stronger wind

Won't the chocolate melt?

I see now what's happened. I had to go out to be nosey! There had been a lot of snow fall since I had been out earlier, a good few inches and very few cars can get up the hill outside. There must be 20+ abandoned out there, although some can get up, the small light hatchbacks generally.

I have to say I was very impressed with the snow capabilities of a Toyota C-HR. So effortless and so smooth. It must be the electric motors providing smooth power output at very low revs.

I took another walk around town. Amazing what happens when you remove most of the traffic from the roads - silence and children playing in the street.

Oh, and I did my good deeds for the day. Gave someone a push with their stricken Mazda and helped a pensioner put her bin out.

Todays train/bike jaunt saw me taking the train to Diss, cycling down to Stowmarket for fish, chips and a pint or three, then back on the train from Stowmarket to home. I think that by the time I left the pub I'd only just warmed up from the 2 1/2 hours on the bike

My grandma was reasonably healthy apart from totally losing her hearing due to the noise!
I suppose it might have depended on which part of the arsenal they worked in.

You've stocked up on the essentials, so you don't have to travel?
Unless you want to.

Spent a bitterly cold afternoon out in the garden but didn't feel the cold. Got the garden incinerator out and burned a few years worth of the documents that had personal/financial information on them which couldn't be put in with the recycling. Much of it was client information that had been in the spare room since I retired years ago.

I don't have a shredder and, although it's probably not environmentally good practice, there's something satisfying about tending a good bonfire.
