Hope you feel more chipper soon, hun xxx :hugs:

Thank you. The cats have joined me on my sick-bed. The Mr is doing much better on day 3 so hopefully I will too, tomorrow. Hebe Jr tested negative at the end of her day 3 but her lungs are several decades younger than ours. The day has not been wasted though - caught up on some online viewing, did some very easy knitting, a bit of Christmas admin and finally got my Evernote passwords synched between devices. I think that’s quite enough for the day.
 
Afternoon .
I have not long come back from a test ice of my friend's bike . He wanted a fast bike as he found he was lagging behind on our past ride . A bit strange as he is usually way out in front . Anyway I have been servicing the Dawes Shadow that I bought off of him . A good clean up , new hub bearings and chain and it now flies along . I just need to sort out why the chain jumps the rear sprocket at times .
I'm out of puff now !

Most days someone drops off a box of just past its sell by date supermarket goods in the lobby downstairs. I had to take the crumpets! It was the perfect time for crumpets, oodles of melted butter and cheese. Unfortunately my cheddar had gone blue, very blue, far too blue to pare it off so I made do with Gran Padano.

In return, I put aside the beer I don't really like from a monthly subscription and leave it in the lobby. It seems to disappear very quickly.

Cloudy sunshine so did not look too bad and went out on trike. Bad idea as the clouds shifted and the low sun was no better than the last trip out. Black clouds gathering to the north but so far the forecast sleet has not appeared.
Aborted the run again after a couple of miles as tho’ less traffic visibility was hampered for drivers by the sun shining straight into their eyes.
I should really drive down to Loch na Keal which would be safe enough but could not be bothered with the 14 miles each way and in any case it looked ok here when I started out.

I'd unwrap your present to yourself right now if I were you. You could enjoy the run up to the day with a good device and then simply take pleasure from your children's company seated around the turkey.

Just looked up the Tobermory cat on Wikipedia.
There it states that two ginger cats lived at the distillery. This is fiction.
In fact we did have two cats called Muttley and Jacob. Muttley had only one front leg having been caught in a gin trap and lost one leg while Jacob only had one eye following an altercation with another cat.
They sat together on the wall in front of our house on nice days and were much admired by the tourists.
The one eyed cat was called Nelson in the distillery by the ex navy workers we had and both were good working cats as they frequented the distillery and probably got fed there as well as at home.:whistle:
Neither were ginger tho’ we later had half shares in a ginger cat after we moved house.
