A bitsas supper tonight. The last of the curry and saag aloo, plus a generous portion of the roasted root veg. And some brown bread & butter. If there's a bit of gusty wind later, that'll be me.

If anyone's watching Starstruck on ITV they've just shown my name on there as the winner of the £30k car in the Cinch sponsored competition so I'm guessing it's out there ...

The car I chose gets delivered on Wednesday.

I've put a blanket over my windscreen as I'm up quite early in the morning to go for a sunrise walk with No 1 daughter.
The weather seaweed is saying ' minus 2c but dry & sunny' at 06:00

You've got that all wrong. As far as I can see the modern way is to clear a letterbox sized slot on the windscreen and then drive off.

£25 from Ernie this month which won't make much of a dent in the amount I've spent in the past couple of days on gig tickets, hotels & a ticket to the BTCC at Silverstone in September.

After a couple of days of strong northerly winds blowing in frequent hail & snow showers all I had to put up with today was a fairly brisk north easterly breeze. It's been so cold in this corner of Suffolk, I resorted to putting the warmer duvet back on when I changed the bedding on Wednesday.

I'm off to Nottingham again tomorrow (waves at @Reynard from the train) and the heating in the hotel room will be whacked right up.

I thought it was a cracking publicity stunt, I'm not normally aware of the event what ever it was, but with it being all over the news you couldn't not be aware of it.

yeah me too! totally thought it was "a gag" or "a bit" like you said

MIL's 95th B-day party was a success! she was so happy to see everyone. she even snuck a 1/2 glass of champagne!

I was thinking this evening over dinner that I don't know anyone who rides a bicycle in real life, just you lot virtually.

that's hysterical. but reminds me, whenever I mention my "friends" on the forum, Wifey says: "I prefer real friends" ahhh what does she know ...

That was a very nice snooze.
I think I might descale my coffee machine (after making a double espresso, obv!)

will you use vinegar, like I do w/ our humidifiers?

I "internet" with a lot of my in-real-life friends, mainly because we're all too far flung to be able to meet up casually, like. But that doesn't mean that my only-on-internet friends that I've never met are any less my friends than the ones that I have met.

Well, that's how I see it, anyway.
