Only just got up, work later but currently sitting here with Frankie two-chews on my lap asleep.

I hope you have a better New Year !
I was watching the news of the fires in your country and realised that the red and orange glow in the clouds were from flames and not reflected light .

The glow also comes from smoke haze. Just about the entire east coast of Australia is covered in smoke haze, and it colours everything lately. The fires are bad. The human death count is over 10, and thousands of native animals have died. The property destruction is massive.

My list of fettling jobs for this morning may not get all done I must sort the two MTBs and Frog bike for tomorrow's ride though.

My better half has decided we need to pop to a shop to pick up what we couldn't buy yesterday during our hours and hours and hours of shopping.

I don't know what I've done to upset her to deserve more punishment .

They'd run out of mint sauce?

Personally, I was surprised (for Merthyr) that he had to go home to get some cooking oil.

Normally, they would just take some out of the tank of their 4x4

A lovely day today, we went out for a walk to pick up some bits-wiped us both out. Still full of cold

 

[Shut Up Legs]

Well, I got lucky: not a peep out of anyone in my neighbourhood all evening, and midnight just passed.

 

[Reynard]

I'll definitely see all of you bods later for a new year's

I have spent the morning working on a new painting - Opel Manta 400, 1983 Acropolis Rally.

Now off to have a quick bite of lunch, then off yellow stickering. See you all t'other side!

I've just come back from a 12 mile ride . I thought I would go out and try for 750 for this year. It is now 753.
My back is still twinging now and then. I will see if the ride has made it better or not .

The Tinybug was throwing up in the night. We're hoping this is a 24h thing that will kindly go away asap.

Tinybug is now sat up in bed, she still hasn't eaten more than a couple of salty sticks but she's managing to drink and not bring it up again.

She's also setting the world to rights with her brother and blowing raspberries at her stuffed Snoopy, so I'm guessing she's on the mend.

I’m back from work, it was noisy. Tea and a couple of ironically titled Quality Street, well, they need using up.
