I'm going to have a snooze for a while...

Zzzzzzzzz

Very cold by the sea today.

I have a bacon sandwich and a

I need to have a shave at some point today

Well, that I didn't know - every day is a schoolday here on CC

Although given the strength and reach of the Hanseatic League at the time, it doesn't surprise me.

The Hanseatic League were very influential in Shetland and some settled there and I visited one grave on Unst of somebody who had settled and died of old age. There was a massive trade in fish among other things.
I did not like to mention due to the current problems but Scots were also prominent in Russia and one founded the Russian Navy.

There's a fair legacy left behind by the League in King's Lynn as well, especially the buildings. Again, grain and fish the main commodities, but museums in this part of East Anglia have a lot of items on display that were very obviously imported from the Baltic, like amber.

You're supposed to land on your feet, not a blow-up mat!

Ahh, but a said mat is directly below, I'd have to put a fair bit of pendulum swing on the way down to avoid it - !

Whew... We made that harder for ourselves than it needed to be, but credit to Watford, they played really well.

Going by the radio commentary, this is definitely a match worth watching on MOTD later.

Dishwasher's beeped four times.. That means it's finished dishwashering.

Nice run this morning with ice on the shallow parts of the loch and by the roadsides. Road well salted but dry so no spray to cause damage to bike bits.
Lots of vapour trails all going south. More than usual I think. We are on a Great Circle route. World getting uneasy?
More traffic than expected all heading out to the west. Some local ones on business even on a Sunday.
One person just came down from climbing the volcano { got a long and convoluted gaelic name} who I recognised as local. She must be at least as old as me if not older and doing something which is now beyond me.
The campsite was about 30% occupied when I passed. This only the first week in March so I dread the coming summer.

I never beep but I know when I have finished dishwashing.😄

I am keeping an eye on a book on the Bay of E that I want to bid on.

There is just over an hour left on the auction. I shall wait a little while before throwing my hat into the ring. Thanks to my mate in the trade, I know how much I should be paying for it.

You announce, before roping up & stepping off the ledge, that you want the airbag removing as your about to show them something spectacular.

I won the auction for the signed book.

Even better, I got it for less than half its actual value. I don't think the other bidders realised how rare it is. Plus, not only is the book signed, it also comes with a letter of provenance.

Winner, winner...
