Good morning from a very quiet office in Suffolk. From what little I can see out of the windows it's another grey, overcast & damp morning.
I've still not woken up properly yet as I didn't get back from Cambridge until gone midnight which meant bed time was close to 1am and the alarms went off at 06:30 so the first coffee of the morning was a bit of a strong one in an attempt to kick start my system.

Very little done so far apart from pricing up new tyres for the car - £590 for four with tracking included.

Unfit warning.I have just walked up and down the stairs carrying Costco multipacks,toilet rolls kitchen towels and I am huffing and puffing.I can see weeks on the turbo on the lawn before I hit the real road.

Was that Hillards once?
Taught my kids to ride their bikes in that car park.

No idea. It's one that looks nothing like the rest of Ilkley with it's access road on a concrete raft across the car park.
Work in the office and it quickly dawned on me I forgot the work mobile but then having walked to Asda at lunchtime I looked at my desk- aargh! No teabags, a visit to the nearest Sainsbury's Local followed.

My regular dog walking boots having worn through the soles (nearly 2 years, not bad) & barely used heavyweight boots started to rot I decided to buy some new boots. Ouch.

They're OTT for dog walking really but I found I was buying cheap boots every 6 months which was costing more. And they are sooo comfortable.

cool what did you get? can you get the dog to pay for them?

Morning .
It is dark out , I haven't looked out of the window so I haven't a clue what it's doing out there. I will go and have a look .
Sound of footprints!
Yes! I can definitely say that it is dark out there!

in squeaky, crunchy snow? here's hoping the footprints don't lead to your bedroom window, eh?

 

[rockyroller]

Ooh! There are some nasty dark looking clouds out there!

quick, close the shades
