Spot on . We don’t want him with only one eye, he will never be able to find his underpants 😀.

Seriously though he needs to get that eye looked at now . This redness has gone on too long now.
Just to be on the safe side if nothing else.

Well I'm tired now. I've written out all 2 of my Christmas cards. I'm exhausted

I posted 3 and there’s 2 neighbours that I give and that’s it.

The honest answer is “I don’t know”, but, at a guess, machine may have some means of detecting water level, and, stopping to refill, if it falls too low?

Don’t know the make/model of your machine, but, replacement door seals appear to be in the £25-£35 range, so, maybe worth a try at replacing door seal and see if that fixes it.

I am sure Mr WD could be promised some suitable reward for his labour in doing the job 😂

Living???

Not quite fish and chips, but the weather is really manky and I fancied some comfort food - so I went for the liver and onions at the White Horse. It was excellent!

Not posting any cards this year. Can't afford the stamps.
Went for a 22 kms ride earlier and although the temperature is only 5 degrees, because it is dry, it feels warmer.
Mrs G gone out for her coffee morning meeting with her lady friends.
She keeps mentioning to me to join the Men's shed to increase my social circle.
I am happy the way I am with my own company thank you.

Its been a balmy but grey 5° here. Took a walk west along the Forth, from Cramond Brig through the Dalmeny Estate to South Queensferry. Very still, you could hear individual ruffling of feathers from the wigeon. Rather more noise coming from several skeins of hundreds of pink foot, headed to feast on some poor farmer’s fields

A very good 50 miles today at 14 average. That's decent on winter bikes. I loved it. The boy is back in town. We stopped at the excellent Daily Dose in Aughton - this one hasn't gone downhill!! 🤣

The cafe's definition of its name is "noun. a statistical measure of coffee consumption, defined by us" It's not as posh as the website looks. Gets loads of young mums in.

Daily Dose at Aughton



Christmas cards. We only send cards to people we won't see and live in the UK. That's six cards to write. I must buy some tomorrow!

We had three cats who came to live with us at different times. Ideal pets, they would come round for the day, go home at tea time and sometimes pop back for the evening. No vets bills, no food to buy.

Our new neighbours have a beautiful, very handsome English blue. George. He clearly has thoughts of moving in with us.

Good evening all from a very damp misty Barnet.
A good afternoon spent in the Railway Bell
I've just eaten a sausage sandwich and drank a mug of tea.
That'll keep me going until the morning.

The cat does have a loving home, the only thing is it’s a busy home , with three other cats , two children under 6, six rabbits and two dogs . 😀.
I think she comes for some piece and quiet.
They used to have a black cat that visited us and our neighbours a lot for about a year. That was until it decided to live permanently at another house three streets away. 😂😂

Just waiting for midnight so I can do my wordle and then hopefully go to sleep.
