A somewhat unproductive day. I didn't sleep well as I couldn't switch my brain of and felt tired. I didn't do very much at all. I did give my car an overdue wash. I really should do something about the peeling lacquer as it looks as if the roof has scabies.

It is a wonderful place to be when you realise you no longer care what anyone thinks of your car!

I wondered where those posts came from!

I am now doing a spot of late night marmalading.

As I type this Mrs W is laid on the sofa snoring. She denies that she snores but regularly complains about my earth trembling snores. Would it be advisable to tape her efforts or would it likely end in tears probably mine.

Get a decimeter and video the display whilst you're at it.
Turn the microphone volume down for best results.

Anyone who says they don't snore normally does.

What little sunshine there was this morning soon disappeared and the remainder of the day was grey and very chilly in the continuing north easterly breeze.

As there was no frost shown in the forecast for round here for the next couple of weeks, I took the opportunity to get the mower out and cut the front & back lawns. Then out came the scarifier and that was run over both lawns. Then the mower again over both lawns effectively as a vacuum cleaner to pick up all the stuff the scarifier lifted. I now have four very full black sacks of grass/moss/weeds to get to the local recycling centre. More may be added in the next week if I get round to cutting back the fuschias and lavender.

This was followed by an hour's walk as I couldn't be bothered to get out on the bike due to the cold.

Put the kettle on please, at all times of the day there's normally someone on here that needs a hot drink.

Aaaaand I have finished, just in time to watch MOTD

One small batch of three fruit (seville orange, orange & lemon), ginger & chilli marmalade made. It is a bit fiery right now, but will mellow with keeping.

They go to bed early, not much use for those of us on at night.

I second that.

One can never have enough cups of tea.

As for the rest, we'll just have to see. I could've bid on a Certina DS.

For a few seconds I read that as you bidding on a Citroen DS

 

[Pinno718]

Not a Cortina either? Oh jeez, must go to Specsavers.

 

[sungod]

it's sing-along-a-zack time

I think I shall retire to the bed chamber.
