Short wander done before the darkness comes down for some fresh air.
My left arm and hand are getting sorer and stiffer by the hour and bruising appearing too. It was a struggle to tie my shoe laces.

It can help the individual cope with the pain, and is also less "damaging" to the person saying it than swearing.

I meant the actual word 'ouch' not the underlying meaning of its utterance.
Sorry if I did not make that clear.

"It’s a wide-open mouth with a short breath. This is the fastest and simplest way to make a loud noise and it probably evolved as an alarm call to the tribe that danger was nearby. In case that danger is a wild animal, saying ‘Ow!’ also has the effect of baring your teeth threateningly."

Warnings of flooding that keep mentioning the stream at the back of stream the house
It is culverted and quite a bit lower than we are - plus there are several lower parts of the estate that would direct the water away from us
But I wanted a walk anyway so I went via the stream to see what it is like
It is fine - lots of water in it but where it is supposed to be
anyway - did my walk
got wet

Just took the black bin out ready for tomorrow's collection. Still drizzly and miserable ( not me, the weather, I'm one of those annoyingly cheerful types ) 😁. That's tho only time that I have left the house today, apart from a couple of trips to the shed. I have been busy though, tree and decorations taken down and stored in the loft, I measured the loft while I was up there, with a view to adding more insulation. The existing insulation was 150mm but the loft was later boarded and that squished it down to 80mm which I've read affects the efficiency of the insulation.
In other news, got my year end energy info. I used about 2,300kWh of electricity at an average overall cost of -11p per kWh, so they paid me £243.77. which will cover about half of our annual gas bill. 👍
