The heating came on for the first time this season. I splashed out and turned the room stat up to 18 degrees yesterday evening then went round bleeding the radiators. Grey and damp outside, legs a bit achy as I ran 5 miles over the Heath with Mrs Tkk yesterday morning.

Cooooeeee. A bit warmer at the moment 6 deg as opposed to 0 deg yesterday.

Stay safe peeps

Morning, a bit of clothes shopping for me today, this weight loss is saving me on food bills and costing me on new clothes.

Good morning all fellow retirees.
It's cold, grey and raining out there at the moment.
It'll be a soggy first dog walk this morning.
The second bin lorry is just coming down our road.
I'll have to set the turbo up in the shed and have an hour on that. I'm past going out on the bike in the rain for the fun of it.

G'day Cobbers.
Dry here today.
Not a clue what I am doing today.

CONKERS!!!
Apparently they held the world conker comp' in the UK this weekend.
I used to love playing conkers and tried all the tricks eg bake in oven, soak in venegar etc
Ahhh them were the days.

I do feel the cold (always have, since childhood) so I have my heating on from when I awake.
Wish I didnt need it but a not prepared to sit here feeling cold.

Morning all

Shopping in Minehead this morning.
I'll drop in to see our mates, who've just got back from 10 days in Italy, to borrow a Mig welder so I can repair my bike trailer.

They were indeed,I still remember the pain when my opponent missed my conker and hit my knuckles.I’m sure it was a deliberate ploy

Same here. I seem to have a very narrow band of temperature that I am comfortable at and struggle with both heat and cold.

It was only just above freezing when I did my walk. Thermal tights and cosy padded jacket required.

I'm off to the cemetery in a while

no I have not decided to just give up - the Food Bank office is there and the treasurer wants to talk to me about something computery

trying to decided whether to cycle or drive

should cycle but I have been feeling rubbish the last day or 2 - possibly COvid/Flu jabs
but maybe a short cycle will get some blood flowing and perk my system up??

dunno - also have something to pick up from Screwfix
(insert compulsory joke about brothels here) later and it wont; fit in a back pack so I might have to drive anyway
