Wet dog walk though sounds like we got back just in time. It’s now throwing it down I need to go out early too. Have to see if it stops.

Oh, and the rail strike finished early. Apparently the union and Deutsche Bahn came to an agreement, so trains are running past my workshop every couple of minutes again.

Looks like a grey overcast day
Slightly damp underfoot but dry

Good morning.

I have to ride to the butcher and pick up the cafe's order today.

Order collected.

I have just received an email from the library advising me that the book I reserved is available for download 📖
I'd forgotten all about it 🤔

There are locally only Tesco Expresses. Tesco has had permission to build a store for years, decided instead to let the site be used by Dunelm etc but that never happened so Tesco have reactivated their plans but still no sign of anything happening

Our large store is shrinking and taking a small part of the Ex Wilko store.

Clear skies today. It's so still that when I left the apartment I could hear the noise from the Autobahn several kilometres away.

Kraftwerk got a gig nearby?

Kraftwerk got a gig nearby?

I'm guessing that's a musical reference?

Just noticed this morning that I am a legend in my own lifetime.

Forecast is for a dry day but cold. It is still overcast so wait till nearer the middle of the day before deciding what to do.
Yesterday a large bit of tree fell on a train just outside Oban and broke one of the windows. They continued into the station but the return trip had to be cancelled.
Whoever does the Calmac text messaging service just now seems unable to keep their fingers off the keys. All sorts of useless information gets churned out which starts at 0530 telling us there is a single vessel service which anybody who subscribes to this service already knows. Admittedly some may have joined since yesterday but that is probably because they already know the basics and just want confirmation every couple of hours.

That's right. Apparently, they were more Fahrrad than Fahren, fahren, fahren in real life though.

Kraftwerk got a gig nearby?

That's the first thing that popped into my mind 😁

The birds aren't daft!
I just spotted 10 birds in the garden just now , went to get my binoculars to see what they were and they bu993red off!

Word has got round the bird community that if they see humans gathering at windows that they are being counted and should clear off.

Might have a second cuppa soon

Just time for a coffee before this morning's walkies 🐶

Been chucking down here since the early hours; the noise of the rain woke me.
Last evenings loaf cut; decided I am definitely not impressed with the new wooden bread cutting guide I bought before Christmas as it plainly wasn't the old knife leading to thick slices. Seems the guide has a choice of thick or mammoth sized slices.
