It’s the excitement of that new boiler ;)

I put the heating on at half seven when I got up and its a cosy twenty degrees in here.

Hmmmmmm......... morning all.......at least it probably is! 😂 Dank, misty, thawing and looks set for the day. 4⁰C.

Birds are singing. Cheerful little buggers. On our walk yesterday the crows were very noisy and we heard two male blackbirds singing their heads off. Signs of spring?

At 4⁰ if the mist and fog lifts I'll try some local loops but as it stands too dank to consider. Dangerous.

Nothing else bar some household admin. I'm thinking of buying cadence and speed sensors so need to research this.

@Dave7 - I've started waking early again. About 4.30pm I stretch out on the sofa for 40 minutes snooze. Usually this coincides with a running commentary from Mrs P about how to drop counters on Tipping Point. Yesterday I suggested she apply for the show if she's that good. Whoops! 🤐

1 deg and feels like-3 apparently. I wonder what dizzying heights of temperature we will manage to get today.
Appears to be getting milder as the day goes on but it’s too much to expect dry as well! :laugh:

Ow. Just had an email from my car insurers. £243.41. I don't think so. I looked at quotes last week and can get it for as low as £117. Guess which one I will choose.:laugh:
Bunch of chancers! It’s getting that you need to move nearly every year now. Bet if you phoned them up they would magically manage to reduce it a bit though. Often find they are cheaper on comparison sites too as they are tying to attract new business, then they think they can rip you off the following year.

Barnet,
Good morning all fellow retirees.
It's a cool 0 degrees outside and very frosty.
Pancakes with maple syrup, bananas, blueberries with whipped cream on top.for breakfast :hungry:

The usual dog walking across the fields, dodging other people and the virus as we go.

Pick up of the roast dinners from the pub at 3, and the big Spurs game at 5.

The Serpent on the telly box this evening.

The day is sorted.:okay:

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

I always tell people to look into prices every year whether its your car insurance or house insurance. it really does pay to do it.

Good morning fellow retirees,
I’m planning to venture out for the first time in over a week. Lurgy has abated, antibiotics course finished and cough much abated. A friend posted a photo that came up on his timeline from this day in 2010, a rare snowy run on the Purbecks.
