Some afternoon riding in that golden window when the ice has melted and before it refreezes. Great to have some sun.

I managed to get out on my bike late morning. I took my old Falcon Black Diamond as it has wider tyres. I left the tyres a bit soft and set off. Most of the roads were fine as the sun had melted the ice, there were still a few areas which were still frozen in the shade down the lanes but it was fine. I only did a short ride of 6 miles. I turned back for home as my teeth were starting to ache from the cold .

I was misled by the appearance of sunshine. The reality was a few Kms on a very chilly afternoon.
But the little view was worth it.

First working week of 2025 has finished.
Not looking forward to another weekend with no cycling

Two days work was enough. Typical rubbish coming up from people clearing their desks before Christmas without properly thinking about it.
Five way remote sockets work fine. Why cannot they make the remote controls a touch bigger so the buttons can be labelled and proper batteries used rather than a button battery or, in the case of this one, a mini 12v battery.

It's been a brrrrrrrrrright and chilllly day here chez Casa Reynard. Perishing early doors with a really hard frost, but not quite as bone-chilling during the day as yesterday on account of the breeze having dropped.
Slept ok-ish for half the night, then kept waking up. Had a bit of a lie in. Morning's chores included re-jigging the fridge in the utility room and kitchen, and now that my friend has taken her share of the turkey, see what could be further banished to the freezer. That included two packs of smoked basa and a pack of sausages. So basically, other than some brie (which I am letting ripen first), everything that needed to go into the freezer is now in there. I also used my newly-acquired sticky labels to label the jars of cranberry sauce that made the other day.
Had a luncheon of toast, smoked salmon pate, extrawurst, abondances cheese, fruit and a cuppa before donning some extra base layers and heading off outside to do a spot of lumberjilling. Carried on clearing up that downed ash tree that I'd been working on last week. I have a heaped trailer full of logs, and there's only the main stem left and a pile of stuff that's in the 1 to 2 inch range that wants trimming before hauling back. Warmly wrapped up, it was lovely out there, and I appreciated the couple of hours' worth of exercise.
Now relaxing by the fire with a nice

Yes. And it was lovely today too. As was the sunset. Had a really good view while clearing up after some lumberjilling.
My last working from home day for the foreseeable future concluded. Back to Bedlam the office next week. 
Still no new manager and our current one finished up today (in reality, he had basically finished up six weeks ago!). Still don't really know what we are doing. Don't know what room we are supposed to be on Monday, or what time we are actually supposed to start at! This whole thing has been a complete shambles.
I took a walk up town after work for a few bits and pieces. The pavements have cleared of ice but I suspect they will be icy again in the morning. Really starting to freeze again. A relaxing evening indoors I think.

Time to feed the cat, and then it will be time to feed me.
