Eighteen miles completed on the single speed. Council lorries are gritting all over the place even though there is no sign of frost. It's later in the week when there is supposed to be a cold snap.
This happens every year that the council grit everything in sight early in the winter even if it's not necessary so the drivers can claim loads of overtime and then when the actual cold weather arrives, they've ran out of grit. One wonders what qualifications you need to be a manager for the council...

Are qualifications required?
I thought they promoted you to where you could do the least actual damage.
They can manage plenty of damage such as running a major ring road through the retail park so it's super pedestrian unfriendly and spending about four years resurfacing a road about a 0.8 mile long.

That's sorted my sister's C*****mas present to me - a ticket to see Dry Cleaning at Rock City in Nottingham. Except that I have to buy the ticket, have it emailed to me and then I forward it on to her to print out and gift wrap it in a card back to me.
Hmm - I think I'm missing something there...

I've recently acquired a Mansell Madgwick press photo for my archive.
It's very familiar and I'm racking my brains trying to figure out where I've seen it before. I thought it might have been Autosport - went through all those cuttings and articles last night, but no joy.
Am wondering if it's Motoring News, but I'm a bit thin on those.

After another rummage, I've found that the photo in question is used (albeit very much cropped) in a race programme. That's a very recent acquisition in the scheme of things, and I can rule that out as the source, as I've also found a less cropped version in a batch of photocopied bits I was given around 25 years ago. I've managed to trace a fair few of those copied pictures back to Motoring News, so likely this one is probably from MN too.
I suspect this might have been what was in my head. Somehow, I'm still not convinced, as the picture in my mind is of the photo together with a batch of text. I'll figure it out eventually...

I buy chocolate according to cocoa solids content. The brand - or non-brand - is secondary to that.
For me, the "sweet spot" is between 30 and 50% cocoa. Must confess I'm partial to the Green & Black with ginger.Although the Tesco own brand milk chocolate (at 25% cocoa solids) is actually rather decent.
Have to confess that I tend to avoid things like roses, celebrations and quality street as I do find them rather sweet.
I'm an 85% kind of choccy fan, still miss the Callard and Bowser ' Sporting and Military' Bitter Plain Chocolate that came in square cardboard packs

That's way too bitter for me, I'm afraid, 70% is as dark as I go... Having said that, if a bar of 85% crops up in a Green & Black selection box, it makes a good hot chocolate, or I'll melt a bit into a chilli to give it that bit of richness.

Right, I'm off to find my bed. (Under the cats, most like.)
