I don't mind the odd wet and grey day. Cabined up listening to the fog horn. Gods bless anybody out
at sea in this.

God bless radar..... where are you and what fog horn can you hear?

I loused up. It runs down the scaffold pole just fine but I got the hoist mounting geometry all wrong. I had assumed that the pivot point for the whole caboodle would be where the top bearings touch the scaffold tube. It isn't, it's the centre of the tube itself because the bearings/tube act like a trunnion. None of this would matter if the wire rope of the hoist was on the hoist centre line, but it isn't. It's offset by about 35mm.

Nothing that a piece of tracing paper and a pencil and compass can't fix.

Looks built to last.....

Misty and murky here. It's actually worse now than it was early doors.

Cats not much interested in going outside.

I'm off to have a bite of lunch. Not sure what I'm having yet - will see what takes my fancy in the fridge.

Yellow split peas make a lovely Dhal.

Oh drat. I forgot to buy a pack of those as well. Used up the last of them to make pea & ham soup a while back.

Two tone is all the rage.

Then it's right on trend, as the bit where the key fits on is white

It's on the offshore Wind-farm crew pod about a mile East off Anderby Creek ( Lincs).

First big shop of the year this morning. New Year rezzo was to ditch Tesco big shop as they were getting silly on prices. Hence, to Aldi. Still had to pop in to Tesco for some bits that Aldi don't sell ( Dentastix for doggies and Sensodyne for me) . Guesstimate on Aldi v Tesco is that I've saved £57 today. Pretty pleased.

One of my 'stocking' presents at Christmas was a gin scented candle (from Makers of Waxed Goods). I have it burning at the moment and the scent is lovely.

We could take up a collection for you.So you can put the gas fire on.
