Mundane News

Good morning from a slowly brightening Suffolk. Coffee has just been finished with a bowl of porridge for breakfast to follow to set me up for the day.

An early start as, thanks to cheap rail tickets, I'm off to Norwich & the area just to the north for the day. Got a 50 mile loop planned and then hopefully lunch somewhere.

Why is my 7:00 am alarm now going off in the dark?

A very foggy autumnal morning in SW Durham, as I topped up the bird's peanut feeder I could hear a cow coughing somewhere in the murk over the field out the back of us.

Today's 73 plate truck has 129451 kilometres on the odometer and has taken me to Loughborough and now onwards to Newark upon Trent.

A driech day but no odds as I am not doing anything interesting today.
Heading to Paisley soon to get needles stuck in me takes up most of the day.

Calmac have cancelled my return booking home on Sunday and given me another one which does not really work for me but lucky to get one at all. They are sending our boat to Lochboisdale to shut them up for a bit but the timing could be better as this is the run up to the car racing on public [closed ] roads.
I thought I had booked MV Loch Frisa which should not be affected but apparently not.
In emergency the long way round by Corran Ferry and Lochaline is possible but again will be busy with rally wonks.
We are warned that Monday 14th there will be massive queues and a waiting time of up to 6 hours to get off by Fishnish/Lochaline. They simply line up and block the road for oncoming traffic which I have had experience of in the past.

They tell me I will get sent e tickets which I detest and not a lot of good unless you are on wifi. Unless something appears by Saturday I will have to go and pester the office in Oban for proper paper tickets.

I was in a right panic yesterday evening. I couldn't find my phone! The last time I remembered using it was when we were at a cafe having tea and sausage roll. I was looking in all the usual places but couldn't find it. I eventually found it in a bag I had used when I went round to do some welding for a friend.

Murky start but sun breaking through and washer on. Closed the two savings accounts on line but the reward account needs a visit to the bank.
Tried phoning but the automated line could not understand Close Account. Transfer of funds to the ISA worked this morning.

I've started on carbon capture. When I exhale I breath out into plastic bags which I then seal up. The room is filling up . I just need somewhere to take them.

Exactly now you see why it's the stuff of unicorns. Much better way to sort out the mess and they actually work.

Looking like another lovey sunny day it was a tad nippy early this morning.
Gym done and my morning jobs all done, Gym stuff washed just need pegging out to dry. Think it's time 1st.

Unexpected delivery from Aykeson-Paynes this morning. I hope they do returns.

P.S. @Gravity Aided - there is a atlanta olympics / kodak watch for sale on the UK Bay of E.

We called the Atlanta Olympics the Olympics of Merchandising. Everything had a tie-in.

Teeth cleaned with the follow up of the M&S gift card "purchase" of iced buns, in between which a visit to the bank quickly saw the reward account closed without any quizzing.

I've been double jabbed.

The walk back from the pharmacy felt like spring, and these flowers added to the feeling.

Snooze has been snoozed.
Coffee has been brewed.

I might cut the grass this afternoon. There again, I might not.
