Oh, and freezing fog also.

Well.. All the old tosh about mega traffic jams on the News came to nought.. My journey, this afternoon, A14, M6, A45, M42, M6, A14.
All virtually empty. The M42 on Friday rush hour is an excellent overtime creation situation! Today? 50mph on cruise control.

🎅

Today we've had a family photo-shoot for all four of us for the first time in 18 years

And this evening an eBay seller, who'd gone very quiet after a bike purchase and payment, refund me. I'm guessing they realised the bike they'd listed badly was worth more than the low price I'd won the auction for

Ah, that's a shame you didn't get a bargain, but at least you're not out of pocket xxx

Time for a ride
First one for a while

I'm drinking coffee in bed deciding where to cycle today.

 

[PeteXXX]

I think I might get up soon.

Morning.
My friend's birthday get together in the Angel hotel yesterday was quite well attended . It was good to see a few of his old friends that I also know . We used to meet up in pubs back in the late 70's .

Rain again and I went outside briefly which was a mistake given I had no jacket on but wool dries ok.
Visitors as opposed to touroid have been appearing off the later boat yesterday as I recognise the cars parked within sight.
At least they generally have a bit of courtesy when parking and do not block resident parking.
The holiday house opposite has the kind of tenants who turn on all lights but never turn them off again and the empty dustbin I threw in the gate about a month ago is still lying on the path.
The late boat is not as late as it used to be when there was a Friday night sailing at 2300 which was often late having been delayed coming back from Colonsay. This meant arrival at Craignure after midnight and boot to the floor for locals. You had to get past nervous touroid within the first half mile or you were held up for ages unable to pass.

Nice but chilly and damp underfoot conditions but a much needed blast of fresh air and exercise
