who are you seeing?

...Porridge Radio at The Brudenell. This is the penultimate date of their farewell tour before going their separate ways after 10 years, during which I've seen them half a dozen times so I wasn't going to miss this one.

And an excellent evening it was. An hour and a half of their best stuff, Kirkstall brewery's Judicious on draft and the rain mostly holding off for the walk to and from the hotel

One last drink and then I must go to bed.

I have a major snack attack. Thankfully I always bring a bag of crisps for just such an emergency

Enjoying a nice and watching a documentary on the making of "Do they know it's Christmas"

Time to bank the fire for the night and trot off upstairs to bed via a nice hot bath.

Sat with a 2rd of the morning with TMS on my MacBook

Today's 71 plate truck has 641093 kilometres on the odometer and has taken me to Old Catton.

The earth didn't move for me

just to be clear... this was regarding the minor earth quake a few miles from Lancaster the other night

Morning.
It is grey here although there seems to be a few small gaps with light grey or beige showing through. It looks like we have had a lot of rain in the night as there are some large puddles lying around.
I have been reading the book which I thought I had ordered as a DVD. It wouldn't fit in the DVD player so I'm having to read it! It says that it is a Netflix film so I assumed that it would be a film. Blasted Fletnix!

I am a slow reader. I am on page 60 something and has taken 3 days whereas Nigella Lawson read it in one day. I suppose it's because our brains are wired up differently. I tend to think at right angles to everyone else. Probably due to being brought up by cats.
My wife thinks that I'm dyslexic but I don't have a badge. I just muddle through.

 

[Gwylan]

I've now been sent to Coventry!! 🫤

Nice city

Time for some exercise

 

[Gwylan]

Sorry, a typo doesn't help.

The deck, patio, verandah at our house expired, died, became dangerous, was rotten beyond safe use.
I'm too mean to pay someone to install a new one.
Foolishly, I decided to do it myself. I set aside a week for the oroject.
I've realised I have met my match. I'm at the outer limits of my skill set.

But like cycling when you realise that there's maybe a hill too many and possibly a few more clicks to home than you'd like; you just suck it up and get on with it.

My little ravings here are part of my therapy as I realise I have committed to a bigger project than I can comfortably complete.

Ibuprofen, a big warm shower, a good night's sleep and things look better
The skip with all the old, rubbish sleepers, decking boards and about a tonne of rubble has been removed.
The garden is clear, except for the timber waiting to be installed.

The levelling blocks are in place.
Think we have the project under control
The sun is shining and it's dry, everything looks better.
Onwards and upwards

 

[Gwylan]

It sounds like you're going to need industrial grade medical treatment for that.

Seems gin and ibuprofen might work, but not recommended together.
Sleep has worked well too.

Didnt sleep well last night as i am was in full man flu mode last night and we have another potential house buyer coming around this morning, im worried about the financial implications of the move where the rest of the family still believes in the money fairy who will always provide but i cant get it through to them.
