For those of you who may be wondering if I got to see the Royal Scot. I did in a sort of way. The sky was overcast and the train was a bit late so by the time it did arrive the light was fading. So I have some wobbly pictures, a bit like the old Today newspaper.
What I did notice, and I can't remember seeing before is what looks like a jet of flame coming from the cab. It must just be light from the fire. View attachment 341365

Great action shot, very atmospheric.

Had a wisdom tooth out yesterday. Youngest son just whacked my jaw with a plastic light sabre.

OUCHY!!

The steam engine wasn't Royal Scot after all but Braunton running as Lord Dowding. Just to make things clear as I'm sure you are all confused.

Oh, thanks, yes for clearing that up.

A moment well captured.

Ankle is now slightly less swollen after applying ice packs yesterday, some anti-inflammatories seem to have helped too, still struggling to walk but I think it'll be ok in a few days.
Am being much more careful today, who knew putting a bit of seed out for the birds was so dangerous?

Well that was a mistake, only a 1 mile round trip and I was fine for the first 0.4 miles, now in agony and nursing an ice pack again.
Work tomorrow will be interesting

Only less swollen. Oops. You're meant to rest it until the swelling has settled.

The turbo has been undone. The spare bike is now in it's rack back in the garage.The conservatory has been swept.The main bike has had it's tyres pumped up.It means only one thing.Gru/Postman is gearing up for his first ride since the all clear.

Yay!!!

When DD1 worked at Waitrose on marking things down she'd have people following her around....in WAITROSE FFS!

Hah! You should see the scrum in the Waitrose here when they mark down the bakery bread and cakes at tea time

Got a pan of nectarine and cranberry chutney on the go.

Have to admit, it can be something of a contact sport

In the Tesco where I go, it depends who turns up. Some of the regulars are better mannered and more accommodating than others. One of the worst offenders has fortunately moved on to a different Tesco 15 miles away.

Mrs GA always good to have along on Black Friday. Small and agile often wins the day.

It is very windy here today. Snow forecast for weekend. But now the exception rather than the rule.

I've made beans on toast a la Nigel Slater, a bit poncy but yummy.

Takeaway ordered for me and the girls' tea. The ex transferred the money over - I always make a bit on the deal.

Well, I'm 4ft 11 tall and a former fencer so I kind of fit the bill... Only downside, my face is at everyone else's elbow level.

Gone down some but still swollen and sore.
And no this is not my attempt at winning the photo challenge

Someone got locked in the garage.. they were apparently surreptitiously supervising the defrosting of the outside freezer. Someone loves their mum to bits and is now having a major cuddle
