Right just sat down with a . Full on morning making Christmas cake. My grandmother recipe only found it a few years ago. Somehow feels wrong in metric so I stick to imperial measures. Use her bowl too. Washing up all done and cleaned up just have to wait how my rubbish new oven gets on baking it. Now dog walk early morning rain so he was having none of it. Now it’s stoped he’s sat waiting.

With my phone saying only 4 degrees and feels like 0 degrees I didn't get up early for a ride.

Book early to avoid disappointment!!

Might not be a bad idea to order any bike parts you'll need by then...

Coffee first, then walk the dog, or walk the dog, then coffee.. Hmm decisions decisions..

I jogged instead. I always get warm no matter how cold it is.

Dry and clearish morning. No spectacular sunrise this morning so everything is a bit grey.
Interesting to watch the sunrise move in a southerly direction until the equinox when it slowly starts to move back eastwards again.
Moderate NE wind tho' which has a high wind chill factor and snow promised for later in the week.

A rare non Christmas item on our local FB pages is a picture of the official opening of the Clock Tower in 1905. One irreverent comment is that all those hanging around are not interested in the clock but waiting on the chip van to open.
The tower was donated by Isabella Bird a very adventurous lady for those times.

Yesterday I made a comment in a different section of the forum about a dog eating a document on a kitchen table in Wales. On reflection I got that wrong. It was a goat.

i have suggested we have a cull of tree decorations,some are so naff,we could get down to one carrier bag,it would be so easy year after year onwards.

When I was a child my grandparents had chocolate decorations on the tree, my uncle had a tobacconist/newspaper/sweet shop, but we were never allowed to eat them.

By the time we opened them, after my grandparents died, they were inedible.

This is why I take Covid seriously: I can end up like that with a normal cold.

I found it much like a normal cold, with the normal, subsequent problems after.

Morning all. Yet another grey, cold and breezy day awaits. It's so overcast round here that when I opened my bedroom curtains a couple of hours ago, it didn't make much difference to the light levels in the room.

We didn't know that Strychnine Come Dancing was on Friday! . We had a shock last night when they were about to do the knocky out bit!
We watched it on I Player .
We thought the bit on Friday was the discussion bit following the knock out .

Next weekend the Dancing is on Sunday, just to keep you on your toes!
