First cuppa going down well
The sound of ice being removed from windscreen fills the air
Uncle ernie is not announcing his prizes till tomorrow

There's more than one who has tried to get the issue sorted, all given similar answers, put up with it.

As for antennas at/near the top, many now look like this in built-up areas. About half as high again as a lamp post.

Wouldn't take long to sort that out with an industrial disc cutter .

Bit frosty but hugely impressive sunrise on my walk this morning

Can't you use the shower indoors ?

Do you think my neighbours don't enjoy me washing in the bird bath

Starting to snow here today so I got home just in time. Supposed to be only showers but the garden needs a bit of moisture and tomorrow is to be warmer.
Nice to be home but I do miss the buzz of being on the mainland. The problems start at once of course as the Air B&B has now got a matt green Land Rover with raised air intake and all sorts of roof gubbins elbowing out residents parking tho' not my area. The owners steadfastly refuse to tell them where to park and tell them they can do as they like.

@tyred, could you be Sheriff Brody?
"A multi-million dollar sequel to the blockbuster movie Jaws is to be filmed and produced in Kilkee.

It’s understood award-winning movie Director and Producer Kiefer Pellicola and a team of production assistants have made a number of trips to the West Clare town over the last number of months to assess its facilities.

Basking sharks coming to Clare’s coast are believed to have alerted producers to the area, with the film set to provide a significant economic boost to the local economy.

Kilkee-based Fianna Fail Councillor Cillian Murphy says the development will be a great chance for West Clare to be seen on a global scale."

It's widdling it down again today, after raining so hard for the last couple of days it bounced and came down again.

Once again the link between bike cleanliness and sudden precipitation is confirmed.

Tomorrow rain and show are forecast, and we have an outdoor antiques market in the town. On the one hand this is a bit of a bummer, on the other it may keep numbers down.

I think I must have been in a bit of a state of shock after reading my trip computer yesterday . I have figured out some of the reasons for the low reading . One , I forgot that I did my slightly shorter route yesterday which would account for half a mile . I will check the circumference of the wheel later . I was wondering if the computer still counts the time that I spent stationary in calculating the average speed . I also forgot to take into account the strong gusty wind which meant that I had to pedal downhill .
Trying to read the hyrographics is more complicated than reading Egyptian wall paintings. . I like the caption for average speed . 0.0 - 124.9 mph.
