Billy Connolly did a routine about pensioners and staying warm, all related to some of the strange devices advertised in the small catalogues stuffed in mid brow newspapers. I will find it if I can.
Not that I am accusing you of being a pensioner Andy, its just the lengths people will go to in staying warm indoors.

Was it the giant single slipper joke.

Every 3 metre square has 3 words .

Where the **** !

How does that work in a multistorey building.

All these posts & pics of the snowy conditions, and yet here it was a bit white on the ground from a hard frost overnight with thick, grey cloud overhead. The frost soon melted and just left everything wet with the cloud persisting. It then started raining late afternoon. Thoroughly miserable. This week's allocation of sun happened on Friday when I was at work.

I never admit to being lost, I will if pushed admit to not knowing quite exactly where I am, but I generally know enough to get to where I do know where I am & hence back to where I want to be.

It's "geographically embarrassed" or "temporary dis-location", never lost!

No work tomorrow, NFL playoffs on TV and the first IMSA race of the year from Daytona was on earlier. There's some parts about Sundays that I do like.

And the recycling bin is already out front for emptying in the morning.

Madame Fondo preparing the chicken roast. Should be ready just in time to celebrate Uniteds win over L'pool

A very acceptable result, and the game wasn't bad either

I'm thinking a crisp sandwich is in order.

Ah, locationally indisposed!

I have just enacted a massacre on an innocent packet of biskits.

Oops.

I don't think my home delivery is turning up, now, even though an email at 21.07 said it was on the way..
Quite understandable, though!

And then there are the turkey vultures.

By no means a turkey, and different from the old world vulture. A soaring scavenger, which in The States we refer to as a buzzard.

Time to try and get some sleep. All propped up on the settee. The cat has nicked the best spot. Top up on ibuprofen and cocodamol and seek advice from the GP tomorrow about this knee. Painful is an understatement. The tissue around it is only puffy, but it feels very tight under my knee cap. Pain coming from around and under so I think I've torn some tissue.

I'll see what they say and maybe get prescription anti inflammatory. I've had etoricoxib in the past and thats good stuff.

@Speicher why don't they have an outside light by the front door ?

Probably for the same reason as for not having a banister on the stairs. The symmetry of the door frame would be compromised.
