I've just realised that I've put my boxers on back to front. I really should stop getting dressed in the dark.

That's the @Drago technique of getting another couple of weeks out of 'undercrackers innit.

Well, the days are definitely getting longer. Noticing it more WFH. Its not dark going to the shed in the morning, and the solar light isn't on when I leave. We've a set of garden lights that come on around 4pm. It's light now when the timer kicks in.

I noticed working on the kit car yesterday it was the first time I ran out of energy before I ran out of light

Well, that was exciting. Well as much as you can do. Warehouse was rammed with food. We filled the car boot for £69. Six bags of ground coffee for £6.

Impressed with the staff. All trollies cleaned before use, and you are handed them. Staff available on every isle then extra staff on checkouts assisting with packing your trolly.

Looks like a nice dry day out. Would have taken the Ribble for a spin but my knee can just about manage pushing a shopping trolly.

My word the scammers must be getting desperate.One yesterday and two this morning.I mean they are so obvious.Mrs P tells me she gets about 30 a week.That because she is on her computer nearly all day doing work sort of career things.Mine are related to my Virgin email account,which was compromised a good few years ago.It just get sold on and on.Desperate people.

Try adding key words to the email rules and it will automatically bin them. I have certain senders straight to the bin.

Snow !

 

[classic33]

You're going to need some bigger panniers!

New project...

 

[Oldhippy]

Highlight of my day is Rush and the Eagles live concerts this afternoon from 4pm on Sky Arts.

 

[Gravity Aided]

Falling fast, or a steady fall?

Was a slow fall, now upward trending on the backside of the cyclonic system. No snow so far, it must have all gone north of us.

Ah! But where did the rubber come from ?

The German rubber tree plantations in the east of the country

Overcast, still and a bit nippy here chez Casa Reynard.

I slept really well, albeit with some very strange dreams, and I spent the morning hauling small wood and kindling as I'm running low. Have been sticking to hazel as the shiny bark keeps the moisture off the wood. All the ash and cherry wood in the same pile of stuff is still sopping wet after all the grotty weather we've had.

Soon it will be time for lunch, and then I plan on having a quiet afternoon which includes a girly pamper session and listening to the football on the radio.

 

[Reynard]

Todays excitement is going to a new warehouse that has opened. They sell short sell by/gone past dated food in bulk. Tinned tomatoes and cereal is on the list. The place is within 10 mins walk, but don't fancy my chances with a trolly load of food.

Ooooh, sounds just like my kind of place...

Good job I'm almost as far east of you as it's possible to get in the UK, else I may well be in trouble...

The company was apparently on TV some time ago when they opened down south. Just opened their Manchester warehouse (Rogers they are called). It was obvious some of the surplus has come from what would have been bar supplies - 24 glass bottles of diet coke for £5, 25 'glass' bottles of tonic for £3. 24 cans of coconut cream for £5. Just filled a large corner of my garage !

Never heard of them, but then I do live a bit backwards of beyond...

Guess all the stuff originally slated for the hospitality industry has to go somewhere. At least if they sell it like this, it won't go to waste and they'll recoup some of their costs.

I got 30 kg of bread flour like that last summer - white and 80% extraction.
