Time for some dark miles

When I had tomatoes in a polytunnel I got the last of them about the end of October usually.

Weren't they a bit chewy ? I like mine in a sandwich !

Morning .
It is grey and a bit foggy here this morning . Since I've been thinking it seems to have got foggier!

Bit grey and misty here. Treated myself to breakfast in bed and going to shower and get out on the bike.

The Zoe people say that the Delta symptoms are actually very hard to distinguish from a bad cold. They're also getting really angry that the government haven't told people what to look for. In any case, get well soon, or don't get ill, and keep testing.

I’m a little nervous it’s Covid but I’m testing every day and am so very snotty and phlegmy (delightful) that I’m fairly sure it isn’t! But I’ve cancelled my weekend plans and will do several more tests over the weekend to make sure!

There seems to be a very bad cold going around . Not sure if it is confined to Wiltshire . My wife had been coughing badly for almost 3 weeks. Somehow I don't seem to have caught it !

Hope she feels better soon!

I was thinking that it is crazy that the ambulance service gets its fuel from the same filling stations that we do ! I'm sure that in the past they had their own. A bit like the Royal Mail had their own workshops servicing their vans and the Telecom's. Some forward thinking management idea I suppose !
Isn't it great having "Hands Off " government ! What could possibly go wrong !

They announce that people are hoarding toilet rolls and the shelves become empty!
They announce that some BP filling stations are running out of fuel and people rush out and fill up their vehicles !
They announce that there is a lorry driver shortage of lorry drivers !
Alright ! Own up ? Who's knicked them all ?

The ones we got at the end of October were used for cooking so yes a bit chewy as you say.

Yet another grey wet day and the forecast for the next week is no better.
More fights have started on one of our local FB pages about motorhomes which are getting widely detested and tourists in holiday homes when local workers cannot get houses. The prissy admin on this site have closed down comments.
Most have no real experience of tourist behaviour and think bus parties are marvellous. We tended to shut the shop when we saw them coming due to their shoplifting tendencies.
Incomers have no experience of life without mass tourism when we managed to live well enough.

Grey & a bit of very light rain, but warm with it.

I think that it's simply more cost effective to use the infrastructure of a large company than set your own up. When I worked for GPO/PO/BT we had our own mechanics, but a lot of work that was originally done in house was put out to contractors.

I think @Reynard is only interested in racing drivers.

I've just spent an hour on the Vodafone 'chat' helpline, as our Internet has died, and achieved absolutely nothing.
I could have summed up the instructions 'Please turn off your router for a minute, turn it on again and press the reset button'

This, obviously, I'd already tried, but it took an hour of 'help' to do this!
