Really enjoyed that and have a signed CD.

I was also pondering how people react to the cold as I went wearing a t-shirt, jumper, heavy woollen type gents overcoat. There was a guy who walked in wearing shorts and t-shirt! I must be getting old I suppose I walked over a mile to get there whereas he probably arrived with the intention of parking 6 inches away from the door of the venue.

A bucket, barrel, bowl, bath, saucepan, ...

Bit difficult to get most of those in a small backpack, let alone keep the water inside.

Difficult, but not impossible.
Even with the water in them.

Morning.
It looks dry out , there is some light grey cloud around but it is streaky with some pale blue bits showing through.

This morning's 73 plate truck has 720127 kilometres on the odometer and has taken me to Trhapston & Swan Valley. Onwards and upwards to Letchworth and Camborne next.

Grey morning and there are spits of rain appearing on my front windows.
Strange Calmac have got no specific disruption warnings and the website shows green. First time for ages that has happened and probably won't last as the fendering work on the pier is possibly going to start soon.
Library day today but nothing else planned.
Just read my electricity meters and horrors the heating one is the highest consumption for a week it has ever been. The thermostats are no higher than previous winters but I always suspected that Total Heat Total Control meant they could fiddle with the timings. I did see an OVO van in the neighbourhood a couple of days ago but no idea why that should be.

There was a bit on BBC Breakfast a few minutes ago about sheep racing. Some people were saying that it was cruel and that animals don't do sport for fun . Well! Years ago I saw a neighbour training a horse on a rope in their paddock. The horse was trotting around in a circle with my neighbour in the centre. A young cow decided to join in and do a bit of skipping and entered the circle trotting in the opposite direction and skipped over the rope . It would have continued but my neighbour stopped it .

I wonder if Fujitsu have anything to do with it ?

We have a vague hint of sun with patches of blue. And I can hear a goldfinch singing in the distance. It's not the one that used to sing from nearby until last year, I assume it's a new youngish adult. Anyhow, it makes me think of spring.

Home now
First cuppa brewing
Mist slowly clearing up leaving a milky blue sky
Solar panels are exporting to the grid

A slightly less grey than normal morning.

Halfway through my walk and waiting on breakfast. I got my window seat again so can indulge in one of my favourite spectator sports - watching people trying to park their enormous Tonka toy SUVs.

It looks like my order for Arbroath smokies hasn't come through. Still, there are Manx kippers to pick up from the Saturday morning Brockley market.
