Jury service looms. I'd much rather stay in bed. Oh well, at least I'll earn about 80p cycling expenses. Is that enough to buy a Mars bar?

I've gone downstairs put the heating on and come back to bed whilst the house warms up

That's just what I've done, but I've brought 2 mugs of tea up with me

Morning. No chance of seeing Jupiter and Mars today as it is very cloudy. Yesterday's pictures looked more like a heart trace due to the long lens and slow shutter speed.

I watched the Stick Drawbridge programme about building the world's longest model railway last night. I'm not sure of what to make of it . I thought it looked like they were trying to prove that the volunteers couldn't do what the experts wanted.

One of the benefits of living in the States, year-round creme eggs.

Just wish we could get mint chocolate oranges still.

Hope you get in with a good crowd, it makes all the difference on those many occasions when they chuck you out in to a small stuffy room.

Jailing the jury seems rather harsh .

-2.5 C here this morning. Ice everywhere. Saw a kid on a BMX come off his bike on his way to school this morning.

No cycling for me today.

I woke up a bit before 6 and came downstairs to swicth the heating off... then went back up to re-pressurise the boiler. There's a leaky radiator currently awaiting the not-so-tender ministrations of the plumber (who is currently v busy dealing with several households who have no functioning heating and will get to removing and replacing said radiator ASAP, probably next week sometime) and the gurgling noises from the too-empty system were a very effective, if unwelcome, early alarm clock.

I then went back to bed and succesfully slept through the heating coming back on at its rescheduled time, about an hour later. And two alarms on my phone. Good job today is my day 'off' and both Cubs have a teacher training day.

Back at work. Same idiocy, different year.

I had a leaky radiator in here for a long time, it took ages to find it, it turned out that the blanking plug on the end of the radiator under the window in the lounge needed half a turn to seal it up.

Our calendar being a bit of an artificial construct, what did you expect?

To be handed back a shorter "outstanding actions" list than the one I left before Canadien.

I've got to see an Ologist later. I think they either specialise in in bending spoons or taking the **ss I'm not sure.

0C here, a great melt is underway.
