Not stopped here all day

It was quite sunny here for a bit, Maz went up to the Chemists on the bus and walked back (about a mile)

Only a couple of miles walked, today, as I had a birthday card to post to my sister. The Postbox is only a 100 yards away from my house but I took the long route there and back.
Not quite sure about tea, tonight. Probably fried mashed potato, left over from yesterday, with some salami and pepperoni chopped into it with grated cheese sprinkled over the top, then grilled.

Raining now. Fitted the new gear cable. Thought, "Check it works before I start bar tape...." Didn't work??? WTFrell??? No click, nuffink! Packed it into the car, LBS.
Shifter itself is done. Won't get it fixed till January 6th!!!

My internet seems to be running about as well as an Austin Princess with dirt in the carburettor.

recently discovered plugging my laptop into the wifi router. I know it beats the whole wifi benefit, but the speed increase! wow!

I expect it would but my laptop has no LAN port, only Wifi. I suppose I could try with my work laptop to see if it's any better.

Oddly enough a colleague had to go into the office one day recently due to scheduled power cuts due to maintenance at his home by the electricity people and discovered that there are no longer wired LAN connections at work as plugging and unplugging cables is allegedly a Covid risk. The problem being that he was one of the few who weren't provided with a laptop but was sent home with his desktop PC which doesn't have a Wifi card installed so he couldn't work when he was in the office

I'm on Talk Talk fibre, the wired connection to the desktop is spritely, the wifi to my tablet varies between slow to a tortoise on tranquilizers, I suspect part of the problem is the tablet but its annoying when I find I'm several taps and swipes in front of the thing.

A nice chilli con carne with rice tonight, made with the leftover of the Bolognese, with cayenne pepper, smoked paprika and black beans added.

And I've finished this chunk of my writing project - and the gentleman racer character has actually behaved himself. Well, mostly...

Bloody hell the sun has reappeared from the murk

At about the same time here, the sunny morning turned into a thick misty murk and stayed that way until after dark.

I've just realised - today (Tuesday before anyone gets pedantic @classic33 ) is my 55 & 10/12ths birthday.

Would I do something like that?

And Happy 55 and 10/12th birthday.
