I was supposed to be in Cambridge at the moment, but I'm her at home contemplating a hot chocolate followed by a couple of beers.

A combination of a late finish at work due to finding some potential irregular items during a cargo check, not fancying a 140 mile round trip in these icy conditions and having brought a ticket months ago before the release of the artist's latest (and not to my taste it turns out) album means that I've decided to have a night in with the heating on and a bit of a catch up of some TV.

It's one of the mysteries of the universe...

As well as smalls, I was wearing cycling base layers (leggings, short sleeved top), t-shirt, jeans, fleece jumper, fleece gilet and a windproof rain jacket thingy. Go figure...

Wind blowing sawdust up the trouser legs?

The good thing about finishing work an hour later than normal was the commute home. Leaving work just after 4pm meant that for a while I was heading almost straight towards a rising full moon in a clear, darkening sky. However if I looked behind me there was a vivid orange sky from the sunset with the big cranes on the 'new' terminal silhouetted against it. I'd have loved to take some photos, but they just wouldn't capture how beautiful both views looked.

Fish, triple cooked chips, peas and carrots for supper tonight. Preceded by a big bowl of cauliflower soup.

The world is a good place right now.

 

[Reynard]

Good grief; how did you manage to wield a saw?

Fairly easily

The outfit was completed by two pairs of fluffy socks, heavy duty work shoes, silk glove liners, leather rigger gloves and the fleece skull cap I usually wear under my cycling helmet.

Oh yeah, and safety glasses.

Wind blowing sawdust up the trouser legs?

Nope. Well I don't see how. Leggings were tucked into socks, and then jeans were over socks and tops of shoes.

As i said, one of life's mysteries...

A patron of the arts then?

Not normally, but it's Panto season so grandson & I intend doing some serious booing at the Wicked Witch!! 🧙‍♀️

'Tis icy out. This must be this thing called winter that all the newspapers have spent the past few days talking about. I'd never have expected frost in December if the papers hadn't wrote about it.

Watching Harry & Meghan, crikey a bit dull and repetative. Tipping point is slightly more exciting.

That exciting?

Offer was accepted on the watch I took a fancy to. That's my Xmas pressie to myself sorted.

The Heuer went for £40 which isn't bad at all given age / desirability, but it would have needed new hands and a service at the very least - looked like it's had water in it at some point. Not great when you've already got two in the queue waiting for some TLC.

 

[Reynard]

Anyways, time for a and a biskit.

And time for bed this little one said. Had a nice evening discussing Can-Am and F5000 cars on Messenger with my bookseller / historian friend.

Nunnight one and all xxx
