Spotted the first decorated & lit domestic Christmas tree of the year this morning. We've not even had Guy Fawkes Night yet FFS

No Christmas trees yet here, but I have seen lights up in the odd place when I've been out and about.

Just to contribute to the mundane food chat - I picked up a pack of 4 chilli beef burgers on yellow sticker on Monday (£1 for 4). Two were eaten on Tuesday, the other two went into the freezer for a whole 24 hours as they have now been moved to the fridge to defrost ready for tomorrow.

I picked up a few old cycling mags a while back. Am reading the CTC Gazette from Dec 1950 and peopld in the letters page are moaning about speeding, agressive drivers, lack of law enforcement and lenient sentences and a lorry driver who got a £10 fine for knocking a cyclist off his bike (seems a much steeper fine than you would get today for a motoring offence considering people probably only got paid £2 or £3 per week).

Basically absolutely nothing has changed in seventy years...

Where did you see me riding? I'm thinking it may have been a Raleigh 20 in a parking deck, rather than an alpine pass.

I had to buy a new Keurig today, same as the old one, but the price was cheaper. By half.

I fitted a new security light on the side of the house, yesterday. I sorted the settings at dusk but have to make, and fit, a cowl of some sort or the millions of lumens will be disturbing the neighbours karma.
Blimey, it's bright! 😂

Morning.
It is foggy here .
A neighbour's cat has killed a Robin that has been keeping my wife company whilst she has been gardening . .

It will be as welcome as the Woodpigeons from now on .
