Phew, I thought it was just me.

Dark here too.

Time to put the paints away for today.

The light's gone.

You too, eh?

9:50pm: Landlady's dog was let out for the evening, heard a blade of grass fall over and went berserk as usual, running down my side of the house at high speed and growling. By the sound of it she's just crashed into some agricultural machinery outside my living room window, but it hasn't slowed her down...
Nocturnal canine collisions permitting, I'm off to bed.

Why would "nocturnal canine collisions" prevent you going to bed. Possibly prevent a full eight hours, but shouldn't prevent you going to bed.

Listening to Southampton v Arsenal.

It’s gone dark outside

Well it is 21-50.

All my snow has gone. I noted a number of snowmen lying on their death beds slowly melting away when I was out on my walk

For me, it means looking at them and wondering if I can reach.

I have a similar routine, I try not to try and cut them first thing in the morning, thats when bending down is the most difficult.

I was moving a big York stone slab today. It's about 5 feet high and so obviously weighs a ton. As I was trying to walk it round to my trolley there was a moment of panic as I lost my footing and I thought "I can't hold this" as it toppled towards me. Fortunately there was a low wall for me to land on so I could keep it from squashing me and I managed to hold it up at about 45 degrees. It took all my strength to get it vertical from there.
Going to have another try tomorrow but will use wooden rollers. Wish me luck. Failing that I'll leave it where it is.

♻ bin day, tomorrow.

Snow nearly gone, now, but I did see some big snowballs on the field on my morning walk, today!

I picked up the phone to try and talk to a bank about a savings account, expecting a fifteen minute interval of pre-recorded Covid excuses. A real person answered within five rings. He then spent fifteen minutes patiently talking me through a solution while I fumbled about on their website.

I later bought a bottle of Gordons to celebrate my good fortune.

@Reynard
You mean to say you've never seen Bert Munro(Anthony Hopkins) in The World's Fastest Indian trimming his toe nails?

Half a dozen police cars, at least one ambulance and a section of road closed off. Local "fried egg" known for accidents/near misses, but also close to a church. There's the taste of smoke in the air, but no fire service presence.
