and now I'm freezing.

Been working on the car outside & for the last hour I kept saying to myself enough is enough, I'll finish it tomorrow, but then kept thinking tomorrow it might be colder or snowing, so battled on, then take dog, now sat with a coffee, hope I don't regret it, don't normally drink coffee after 2pm

Watching Cheltenham v Man City.

The game has been suspended due to...

Fireworks.

Someone spent a pretty penny on a nice display though.

I just came in from picking more wood for the furnace. There is a luna corona with several concentric rings.

I filch the newspapers out of a neighbour's recycling bin to wrap veg peelings etc before putting in the green bin, because I don't buy a paper. It's a combo of the Express and Daily Wail - it's garbage. Suitable for wrapping up garbage.

Cheltenham look a little like Arsenal from a distance. I've no idea why the blue team is in black or why the man in black is in blue though.

Been a trifle damp in my neck of the woods. I'm not affected personally but I really feel for those who have been (again).

Passengers for Sabrina would usually walk down two levels of the gangway to get on board. In this pic she's floating at the same level as the adjacent road.

Growing up in the '70s and '80s I only knew this kind of flood from history books. In 2000 the flooding was called "once in a generation". These photos from yesterday are only eleven months since we had floods of similar proportions and, if I haven't got it wrong, are the third highest recorded.

What was shocking was the speed with which it came up. A rise of over 10 feet in only a day and a bit.

Just shows whose actually actually in control of the world, Mother Nature, makes me wonder Covid is a test she's set.

Fetching wood in earlier today it was bladdering down with rain so I put my sombrero on and went out in my paisley smoking robe and clogs. Next door appeared at the gates to ask if I was getting a wood delivery next week. I could just detect the corners of his mouth starting to curl upwards but he kept a straight face.

Just had a great two hour chat with a friend in the garden and now I'm freezing. Time to light the wood burner...

Flat is now warmed up sufficiently to remove a couple of the bulkier layers...

That will happen in March here. Not only is it colder, but we two who live here are stingy Yankees.

Sounds like the big snow forecast for the Central U.S. has been moved a bit north, so it just barely misses me. But really hits my poor brother in law.

I hasten to add that I have my fireplace going at the flick of a switch, due to the local and ready availability of natural gas.

How much is forecast?

Fortunately the workshop I work at is happy for me to take as much wood as I can load on my longatail bike so I can warm myself up a bit at the weekend.
