Got up this and the sky TV was out due to the weather and at work so went out and the side roads had turned to ice.1 st job when I got here was to drive to the other end of the factory outside on a forklift truck 🥶

I also like to people watch when attending hospitals for what ever reason.

And it always amazes me the amount of staff that seem to spend the whole time just walking around with bits of paper in there hands

Perhaps the bits of paper are scribbled directions as it's quite easy to get lost!

Good morning from a still overcast and cold Suffolk.

Coffee has been had with a fresh pack of custard creams being opened as an appetiser before breakfast. It looked like there was ice around earlier, so I'm not going out for a little while just in case.

Puzzled last night why my oldest PVR was a blank screen. Fiddled with the power connection and it woke up. Shows how things have changed as its now the only one with the time showing all the time albeit one number panel has lost its centre -.
Then switching the TV to it no sound. Swopped HDMI connections around and it was plainly something wrong with HDMI3. The definate resolution to such is to a reset and yes sound reoccurred. Just now to log back into everything..

Still too icy here for me to go for a ride.

So instead SWMBO announced that the cactus collection in our hallway needed re-sorting, with new compost, etc. But she's probably infectious so disappeared. I'm now prickled having emptied and tidied the cacti, sorted the stones on the top, added new compost and switched the cacti around a bit with a few others dotted around the house.

Broken screw removed at last from the bathroom wall. Needed the 8mm hole cutter and the screw ended up wedged inside it.

Car was still frozen widows at 10.15 so a slight delay before a new shower handset rail was bought from B&Q making use of a £3 voucher

Lidl at Knaresborough visited for another pair of thermal long johns before into the hospital to pick up the currently regular prescription. They hadn't got enough so have an owing slip.

Finally the Co-op for a couple of cotage pies, one for tonight and one in the freezer, also bread for toasting.

Today's 73 plate truck has 466688 kilometres on the odometer and is about to take me to Beccles.

I went to collage with someone from Beccles. Thought he was a bit odd. Then I visited Beccles

Smart TVs would be so much better if they could remember where you were when you switched off. Like dumb TVs used to. Like my radio does. Like the settings for my browser do. Your mum might expect the same dumb simplicity.

I'm currently out for a ride and have picked up a slow puncture.

It's not as bad as it sounds as it happened close to a pub next to a station on my local train line and I'm currently having a lovely pint of Adnams Mosaic in the warm before the train home rather than sort the puncture 😁

had to postpone my haircut because the stylist was out due to his young Son having the flu
