Morning. My wife could see the bright planet/ stars this morning. The tiny one is now directly below the large bright one. We are now trying to find out what they are.

There is a Google sky app you can get for smartphones. Wherever you point it, it shows and names all the stars and planets. (even in the daylight or thick cloud! - actually even through walls lol)

Just back from my 26 mile ride (my 4th this year!!). It’s a bit icy out there.

I’ve now completed my target for 2018 (110 miles)

I did 48 miles this morning, my second ride of the year, the lanes were a bit interesting, hoar frost and sheet ice, I kept it mainly main road but even they were a bit slippery in places, it's a bit disconcerting when you stand up to climb a rise and spin the back wheel up.

Chapeau, Dave - that's a great effort.

I did a bit more walking than normal.

The tricky bit is managing the dosage

That's simple, when you fall over You've had enough.

I hope all the poorly people are feeling lots better.

The healthy eating and increased exercise is putting me to shame. I need to organise my time better.

Had to go emergency Yellow Stickering in the Co-op as the rye bread I had intended to slice up for lunch had gone mouldy beyond being retrievable. Picked up a sourdough loaf, some yoghurt and a couple of nice sandwiches - they are made by a local cafe.

Only downside, there was a job lot of smoked salmon (a good dozen packs or so) and I was thinking of snagging a couple. But I got the chance for a looksy while the girl went for a new roll of stickers and they were all dated yesterday. That meant that they were destined for the bin. Such a shame, throwing perfectly good stuff away - it's cured, smoked *and* vacuum packed, so would keep for a good while longer yet.

I slept for 11 hours solid after yesterday's exertions.

Or stop finding excuses.

I think I may have seen the International Spice Station going over a little while ago, it was quite small heading West to East.

Healthy eating hasn't done me any good, unless my body is forcing out all the junk in the form of snot

Just been out the back, the grass is white already, looks like it is going to be cold tonight

Mace station you mean?

Yoi deserve a free-kick for that!

 

[Reynard]

Just treated myself to a square of the Co-op's "Irresistible" Peruvian dark chocolate with orange. It's very fine indeed.

Now going to have a before bed.

Cold, but not cold enough to have to de-ice the car.
