My compass has stopped working.
I had a look at the one in my rack bag earlier while wondering exactly what direction the wind was coming from and it doesn't point north any more (appears to have been demagnetized). I've not had that happen before.

Wow, that wind was really strong wasn't it?

Thanks. The interview is sort of a "Plan B": The job I'd really like is about 10km away from here on 90% traffic free roads. It looks likely but I can't put everything on that particular chance.

Managed to get a whole bunch of errands sorted out in town this morning. Picked up a few sundries in Wilkinsons and Savers, popped to the vet as they'd sent me a reminder about the girls' boosters - which they actually had last week, had a quick whizz around the market, then tootled off to Tesco for a small top-up shop, as I'm not allowed to do a full on shop / yellow sticker hunt until I've made a considerably bigger dent in the Xmas deli, cheese and assorted other comestibles than I have so far...
That kind of went out of the window, as in the dry / damaged goods clearance bin, they had a job lot of expensive pet stuff on a really good clearance. So I bought 3kg of cat biscuits, four packs of pouches and three packs of dog chews - the latter will go down well with a friend's miniature schnauzers. And for myself, I bagged four large packs of rice noodles and a selection of Pukka herbal teas. Among the other stuff, I snaffled a large piece of very ripe dolcelatte cheese on YS (I know, I really should NOT be buying more cheese, but I love dolcelatte), plus limes and oranges, also on sticker.
I guess I'll be making marmalade...

Might I suggest you get a cat for the boys? There is no snooze button on a cat that really wants its breakfast.

Mundane news update.Many people in our area of Meanwood Leeds 6 are fed up of Virgin .There is a right uproar about the outage some are calling it.Some have demanded a payment for loss of service,help centre staff have been less than helpful say some posters.
Well in a few weeks Mr and Mrs Postman are going to leave Virgin we have been with them decades,and never once do you get an offer of a loyalty reduction.
Mrs P has been in to Leeds and has come up with this solution.New smart telly,Freeview box and a Freeview aerial.Seperate TalkTalk broadband and phone line.Once we buy the telly the box and aerial no more contracts and a saving of around £60 a month.
I have been hankering about this for a couple of years,so an accident outside of Virgin's control and of mine has forced the issue,they just take take take,for bad progs and hours of commercials.
Rant over and now calm.
