I would think the Queensway fireworks will still go off as the residents don't have much common sense

They didn't give much notice to say they were cancelling it, did they?

A very enjoyable (if breezy) couple of hours was had out in the countryside under clear blue skies and much welcome sunshine. It was followed after a cuppa by a half hour flat out on the sofa catching up with a bit of the kip from last night.
This evening's hot chocolate has just been had.

I once saw a cloud inversion up at the café at Oxleas Wood, place which I'm sure you remember well. Full sunshine and nothing but clouds below. It was pretty sublime.

I do remember Oxleas.. That was part of my childhood stomping ground.. 😎

Happy now @Reynard ? 🤔 😂

RAC Recovery has been renewed at a price lower then last year. Something else I pay for but hope not to use.

Hogmanay Cancelled!

Is that a bad thing? I have no idea what a Hogmanay is..

Well, my £3 Bay of E Brazilian-made Mirvaine diver watch (well, strictly speaking, it's a GMT with a pepsi bezel) turned up. I wasn't expecting a brand new watch, as the photos on the listing were pretty ropey, but a brand new all-stainless steel watch is what I got.

Bracelet needs a link or two out of it to make it comfortable. It's a nice thing though, very readable with its big hands and bright lume. I like it and I think I'll wear it a fair bit. But at at 30mm case size and 40mm lug-to-lug, it's as big as I'd feel happy wearing.

Would I swing for a mechanical diver-type watch on this basis? Probably not. It sits rather ostentatiously on the wrist, and kind of reminds me how nicely discreet the smaller vintage watches are.

If you wash on New Year’s Day you wash a member of your family away.
