Apparently in short supply - Lemsip, that is. Not colds

Much warmer today well just above freezing warmer , ground defrosted early this morning lovey blue sky and the sun is out.
Loaded the washing machine than thought what had I done with the clean towels ? Turns out they went in the machine too lucky that was before I'd turned it on.
Soon be time to walk the dog he's currently fast asleep clearly dreaming judging by the twitches.

Car battery flat. Not completely flat but not enough to start engine. Currently got battery charger attached which I’ll leave for about 3 hours. Then I’ll take car for a run (assuming battery has enough charge to start it by then) to charge battery some more. The fun of cars when you don’t drive them much.

I use a solar panel charger plugged into the diagnostic port in mine as it goes days without being used.

New next LEGO project once I finish building the Saturn V rocket.

No, I will not grow up and become a pompous old git.

Growing up isn't compulsory, growing old unfortunately is.

Lunchtime stroll completed in bright sunny conditions

Another brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrright and chhhhhhhhhhilly day here chez Casa Reynard.

According to the local news, it was -10 last night not too far away from here. Judging by the fact it was only 14C in here this morning, I can well believe it, as usually I can keep the place at a comfy 17C overnight.

I slept well, and don't feel too bad despite the heffalumps. When your hormones are behaving like Northern Rail, it doesn't half mess you up. Hey ho, such is life. Chores have also been chored here this morning, and the wood bins in the house topped up. The rest of the morning has been spent furkling through an archive of stock car photos - I found one image that seems to have answered a question that's been bugging me for a while, but I will need to see if I can find any reference in the magazines to cross-check.

Anyways, it is almost time for luncheon.

Hey, that's *REALLY* cool!!!

It's funny, was saying to mum the other night that there are things in life which bring enjoyment no matter how old you are - including waffles and Lego.

was gonna say I love the smell of model glue in the morning. but now I realize it's a lego set. guess I'm older than I thought

Which reminds, I really ought to get back to the project that is staring at me balefully from the credenza in the dining room...

Daily Express weather alerts are as reliable as their political reporting.

BBC were saying similar.

The BBC's website forecast only goes up to 5 Feb but no sign of either beast from the east or squirrel from the Wirral.

Chicken & leek pasties are in the oven. Today I remembered to get deionised water for the iron.
