I had some outside stuff to do today but I might have to postpone it ☔

We were meant to be doing outside stuff today but I think someone wants a slob day.

i phone, cell phone ....call them what you will since when does anyone need a watch ?

Today !
I've got a phobile moan ! I hate the bleeding thing ! I just have it in case of emergencies. As useful as semaphore in thick fog ! It is a Whoarewe,it drinks electricity like I don't know what so I leave it switched off . When I switch it on it takes forever to come round from out of its coma. Would I recommend one to anyone ? Probably if they had a wobbly table that needed packing !

I've just realised that the strap of my ancient, basic Casio digital watch is cracked and in danger of breaking very soon.

All this talk of watches and straps must have jinxed it!

I told my wife about her watch strap was getting bad . Did she listen ?
Nope!
It broke and it fell onto the hard ground ! It was a nice Silversmiths of London watch . I forget who the maker was but I think he was a good one . Hairspring broke !

Upper Cumberworth. Looking at the 2 tall aerials at the moment .

Every year I always threaten to go to see the sunrise at one of the stone circles or something and never get round to it. This year I have the 'flu anyway.

Also, it is so wet, cloudy and overcast that there isn't the slightest sign of sunrise anyway. It is still pitch-black outside.

I wonder what would happen if I started wearing smart clothes at work? It's an intriguing thought.

Perhaps they would think you were off to an interview !

I have the post-covid 8-30pm “is it time for bed yet?” syndrome again. Having a and some lemon curd on toast while I decide. First post covid 🎷tomorrow, I’m hoping my lungs will hold up. Also hoping for a short bike ride in the afternoon too. That would be the first one since early November.

@pawl peanut butter and strawberry jam is a favourite here. I like cheddar and strawberry jam sandwiches but am in a minority. I find marmite and peanut butter needs a glass of water on the side. Although marmite and anything normally needs a glass of water on the side.

I tried strawberry jam and Cheddar cheese years ago and liked it .
Would it be any different to cheese cake ?

I tried peanut butter between two carrot rings

Looking at the 2 aerials opposite made me think of Fred Dibnah . I find it incredible to think how he climbed up those chimneys up a ladder carrying a scaffolding plank with him . How on earth did he construct a platform up there all on his own ?
Fancy dropping a spanner and having to climb down and back up again!

If your local iron monger is still the one along the harbour front still i bought a pump from them the last time i was on holiday in mull in 1996 and if i remember rightly it was very well priced all things considered

That is the one. It was managed by a cyclist at that time so had a good stock of almost anything you may need.
