Cake or ice cream? The choice is endless ...

I haven't a clue what this represents but it seems like an awfully long way round if you are going from Toulouse to Rome !

The flight plan, on the left of the screen, is Toulouse to Toulouse, so possibly a training / test flight?

My granddaughter was overjoyed when she discovered that she can cast her FR24 onto our TV and then she noticed this weird route
 
Morning .
It's grey here .
Prickles seems to be fine ! It is still coming out in the evening for food and then going back under its newspaper. It must have got a bit warm at one point yesterday as the paper was scattered everywhere , a bit like throwing the bed clothes off . They are heaped up at the moment with it underneath .
I only did a bit of work on the Hedgehog hotel yesterday as it was very busy with a Men's Shed Christmas dinner followed by a museum party and my wife's choir evening event .

I have a hedgehog feeder as a winter project. I purchased a “ Blink “ doorbell camera from Amazon for £29 in the sales with the intention of using it to monitor hedgehog activity. It’s battery powered and connects to our WiFi. I’ve got one of their outdoor battery/ wireless cameras set up in the back garden. Hedgehogs/ Bats / the local cat patrol etc, fascinating to see all the nocturnal activities.

I’ll put you out of your misery, you are looking across at the south side of the Eiger.

Last rock & ice climbing abroad was before Goretex was invented.
Good morning.

I've got to go to a training seminar in Freiburg today and tomorrow. Apparently it cost my employer several hundred Euro to send me, and so far it's covered topics I spent months learning about in greater depth during my college course.

It's called CPD. Continuing professional development.
Freiburg is nice, or do you have to commute?

Waiting for a training seminar to start.

People ask me why I'm not more talkative on these occasions. It's mostly that I don't gossip, and I cant talk about driving.

Terminal boredom awaits. Thankfully there Wlan so I'm relying on you lot to help me survive this okay?

Be aware if you are using their network. Your use can be monitored. But maybe not in Germany.

No ill-effects from last night's unplanned tarmac/human interaction.

I skipped this morning's walk and started work earlier to make up some time as I have a checkup on how my dental implant thing is going this evening so will be leaving work early.

I must say I miss my morning exercise and wonder how some people are happy to take no exercise whatsoever.

Snowing gently when I got up so paths are probably lethal.
The annual local panto has started again after being off for a couple of years. I would like to go but in current weather not wise.
There are lots of local jokes and only if you live here would you understand a lot of it. Audience members are very often the butt of slightly dodgy comments.
The guy for example who went to the pub nearly every evening and had his St Bernard dog with him because the dog had to drive him the couple of miles home.:stop:
We also had local Scouts doing a variety of shows every year which were very popular and not just for parents.
One of my back teeth is feeling a bit dodgy but not keen on going up to the surgery in this weather. Hope it hold out till January.:ohmy:

May I suggest the game b*llshit bingo @Andy in Germany you put all the current buzz words on a card and tick off as you hear them. I would advise not shouting out Bingo if you complete the card though.

You can also set a target for new words, acronyms and phrases to add to the list. Experience says that 5 is a good point. But if you haven't been " on training" for a while you might get to that number before KP.

Sure people here will help with current English trends. You can look out for local equivalents and annexations from English.
