Do both show the same time!

I don't know: I can't see them both at once.

My feet are cold. Time to break out the uber fluffy nordic socks.

In about an hour, I hope to be the new owner of a ship.

You never checked before hanging them both.

Right, time for me to toddle off to Tesco for a spot of yellow stickering...

I put on a smart causal shirt today, as I wasn't dressing for outside - i.e. t-shirt and thick jumper for the shedoffice. Daughter (17) asked if we were going anywhere

Thought, hmm can't go anywhere, but we're right on the T3 border, so I decided we'd sneak over and grab a spot of lunch. Popped out to Adlington, about 3 miles inside teir 2 (I ride past there on a regular basis).

The pub was a Robinson's owned one, so suporting the Brewery in Stockport. Had a lovely meal, the place was one way, but only about 10 couples in a massive place. So weird to see it so empty on the run up to Christmas.

There is a pair of "Sailing Ships" which I have.

This is Ariel, the other is Flying Cloud. Not my photo btw, but the photo as it appears on the Bay of E.

10-15" of heavy wet snow (which would likely compress down to 8" of cement) has been forecast. heavy rain now, snow to start 2pm, gain intensity quickly & continue until 1am Sunday. I have to be at work at the big box home improvement store at 10am. will be busy w/ the lift truck & pallets of sand. widespread power outages are also expected due to the high winds. thunder snow (w/ potential for 3" in 10 minutes) & blizzard conditions are expected. temps right around freezing (slightly over). hmmm ... what kind of mischief can I get myself into?

N'or Easter?

N'or Easter?

Can we get Christmas over with first.

The Christmas tree has gone up today. A week earlier than usual as my daughter needs a Christmas background - I have to record her playing two Christmas songs on her violin which will then be put together with other strings players in a video so it looks like the junior orchestra is playing together. The last video I had to record of her (for her exam) took 3.5 hours to get a recording of 2 minutes 27 seconds. I'm hoping this video is completed quicker. My daughter is a perfectionist though and if even one note is out of tune... the end of the world!

Recording duties will be performed tomorrow afternoon.

123/83. Diastolic's much higher than usual. But no more BP testing today - it's beer o'clock!

My computer seems to be unhappy about something.

Listening to Julie Fowlis and attempting, but failing badly, to translate her Scots Gaelic to English using my atrocious Irish Gaelic. The realisation that most of the time she's singing utter rubbish about hats (bonnets), fish nets and romping in the calf pen
