Still frosty outside under the clearish blue skies

Lovely sunny day again but still that cold wind. Forecast for the next few days does not look good tho'. Heavy rain and some gales on the way.
Ernie has only coughed up £50 again this month. Never seems to get the hint I would like a bit more, ungrateful sod that I am.

That does raise an interesting point. It seems at the moment the navy record for ships not working is no better than Calmac and indeed seems worse.
I read one opinion some time ago that they also keep getting ships unsuitable for present day use. Fast and flashy but not very practical. Still living in the past when they would send a gunboat to frighten the natives.
Helicopter carriers are needed nowadays and some civilian craft had to be commandeered for sending to Falklands.
I do not keep records so do not ask for sources.

Mushy peas?

No mushy peas!
What do you have with your fish and chips?

Why have anything? Nothing green should be seen

I'd say that about mushy peas. I *am* half Belgian, you know...

I'm English & I'd say that about mushy peas.

​

Which one is the Duchess of Cornwall? MrsCharles?
I've never seen the dancing programme so wouldn't know who or what to vote for.

A bit remiss of Heathrow to lose them in the first place. Giant game of hide and seek perhaps? 😁
On the the upside if it keeps more polluting planes out of the sky all for the better.

Sunshine and wintry showers here chez Casa Reynard, and damn bloody cold. The last shower disgorged hailstones the size of peas.

I slept in and have spent the morning writing, Must have been a cold one overnight, as the house is a bit brrrrr. Might put the fire on a bit earlier than usual, but until then, it's onesie and hot water bottle. Fortunately, cold snaps never last long at this time of year.

More writing scheduled for the afternoon.

It is almost time for luncheon. Today will be a bitsas day in terms of food, but it's all too good to pitch.

Very cold head wind riding home along the seafront even though I was wrapped up.
