Bit of a mixed day today.
Started off badly by being woken by heavy rain and wind on the bedroom window, but at least this meant that I had time for a relaxed breakfast and got the ironing done so have spare uniform to take into work tomorrow. There was also time to pop into Felixstowe and get three birthday cards in advance of three faminly birthdays this month and then to do chain cleaning & lubing plus a bit of a frame & wheel cleaning on the five most used bikes.
Then up to Ipswich by train for the Sound City music event which is where it all went wrong. Apparently the first band I wanted to see (Porridge Radio) cancelled due to illness early in the day, but the organisers didn't publicise this until just as I left home, so I knew nothing of it. With the second band on my list (Yard Act) not being on for another hour & a half and nothing else that took my fancy, I wasn't going to hang around so walked back to the rail station and came straight home again. I do have tickets for both bands elsewhere in the next few months, so not all is lost.
Tomorrow's morning commute looks quite nice & dry, but things may be a bit squelchy for my flu jab on the way home

Morning all. Another, almost, sleepless night! To add to that it`s cold, wet and miserable outside too!
On my second cuppa so it`s not all bad
Most of my files now transferred from the old laptop to the new one so I`m pleased with that. Have to replace ink cartridges in my printer later on.
It never ends!

Have you been to the bank for a mortgage to buy new printer cartridges? 🤔Morning all. Another, almost, sleepless night! To add to that it`s cold, wet and miserable outside too!

Morning .
The weather doesn't look bad at the moment. It is dry , I can see some grey cloud in the distance but nothing bad . There is classic car racing at Combe today but things have put a spanner in the works !
My wife lost her purse yesterday whilst out shopping !
She doesn't know where and can't think of leaving it anywhere ! She managed to cancel everything when she went to the bank. We are wondering if she was pick pocketed! She contacted the police who Immediately sent out a rapid response unit who set up road blocks and did a house to house search ! Oh! I was dreaming ! They couldn't be bothered ! Obviously the person on the telling bone is inline for promotion to replace Dessida Crick ! 
So no filling up with fuel or going to see the racing if things turn out fine as cash is limited !

Weather not too bad here at the moment. Just grey.
No1 daughter is walking up Snowdon today. I advised her not to do her planned route of the Watkins Path as it'll be too dangerous in the present weather. I recommended Llanberis Path up, and Snowdon Ranger back down (not missing the right turn back over the grassy knoll or she'd end up the wrong side of the mountain to her car 😂)
She's sensible enough to bale out if the weather is too bad, and is dressed suitably for the occasion...

I've been a bit busy in the evenings trying to make some scale drawings . I fancy doing a bit of whittling! I don't fancy paying nearly £200 for a model of LH Mercedes W12 so I been trying to make a drawing from pictures and a few dimensions . It doesn't help that the car is black . You can't see the detail in the shadows . I've done quite a bit of rubbing out .

Windy but not raining yet. Cold tho'. It was 6.1C outside when I got up and the inside temp was 16C. The wind cools things down a lot.
I keep a record of electricity consumption and notice the storage heaters were not on until nearly Christmas last year. Previous year it was mid October.
I still had heat from the solid fuel stove but just now I have very little left in stock as the coal merchant stopped delivering just before I reordered in April. Not sure if he is going to continue as he has now gone on to fleecing tourists with a new campsite.
When we came here to live the place quietened down at the end of August with a trickle until end of September. Now it never seems to stop and even at the end of October the roads are still busy.
