I have a and a mince pie.

I'm going to have sausage & mash with onion rings and onion gravy soon, followed by ice cream.

Today I reorganised my workshop. We had some sun. Happy days!

Just spent an hour on the phone to one of my Royal mail pals.He lives alone,never married.He just wanted someone to talk to.He hates this time of year.No family no Xmas nothing to look forward to.He is glad everything gets back to normal tomorrow,well as normal as can be.So I was an ear to bend,told him we could meet up for an outside coffee in Headingley soon.Cheered him up a bit.

We have two chaps in our small close living alone, Covid has been really difficult for singletons, must be very lonely.

We have a 95 yo aunt nobody has been into her house since March.

The ice on the roads never thawed today so no riding today.

CC is pretty much the same as usual on my Android phone.. I occasionally lose threads but I've been known to have accidentally tapped on 'ignore thread' without realising!

Morning all..

Thanks. It is back.
It would seem as though it is as you said . I suspect that as I am using a touch screen , as I was about to do something the screen has jumped and I must have pressed the ignore thread button .
It needs a reminder saying " are you sure you want to ignore ? "

Ditto here in Yorkshire. Black ice everywhere. I had a short walk only to get four points on Turf (https://turfgame.com/) - that'll probably be it for me for the game though.

Just finished my external professional marking with a 'different' report on Moldovan pastries. Just in time to start my own marking - about 3 weeks' worth - tomorrow morning

I've got a catapiggle asleep on my lap .
He is getting more adventurous. He has started climbing things ,chairs, curtains and he has started eyeing up our book case. He has also copied Schrodie by now putting his toys into my shoes and fishing around for them .

My major activity of the day was to have a bath. I've not been out, not even been on the turbo. It's all been surprisingly tiring

Looks like the predictions of Br**it related chaos at Felixstowe were greatly exaggerated - possibly due to DFDS not re-starting their service until tomorrow

As a result it meant that work was 'slightly' quieter than expected - the hardest working member of the team was the kettle.

Had poached salmon, pesto pasta and steamed green beans for supper. Soon it will be time for a and MOTD.

I am debating whether to buy a particular issue of Autosport on the Bay of E. There is an article in it that is relevant to my archive, BUT the issue (!) is that I already have a copy. Though I'll be damned if I can find it.

You all know that if I buy a replacement, I'll find the original. Classic Law of Sod...

 

[Reynard]

Oh, and I had to put new batteries in the TV remote.

 

[Kempstonian]

Last minute change of plan earlier. No onion gravy was made because I couldn't be bothered. I put onion powder in the mash instead. Yum!

I sewed a button back on my winter over-coat.

Threading a needle seems to get more difficult and light bulbs seem to get dimmer as I get older...
