Looks a nice morning outside in all fairness , it's not blowing a hoolie or lashing it down with rain either
Sky is grey to blue
First cuppa has gone south down my throat
All is ok in my world

Morning.
Grey here. Our kitten has gone out exploring . He'll probably come back in to use his litter tray.

Are you sure your kitten isn't a teenager?

There's a great big machine outside slicing the top off the road and dumping it in a truck in little bits.

Flahavan's porridge for breakfast this morning 🥣

I've been up, drunk a pot of tea, gone back to bed and now I'm up again with a mug of coffee. It's a light grey winter's day outside and I really should get some shopping done. Though I really don't want to go outside.

My reward was 9.5 miles

9.5 miles more than I managed.

The Bergamot plants in the yard took a beating from the frost but once the sun appeared they perked up.

It doesn't sound like an early grey tea was on your agenda.

Does it have Wirtgen or a big W emblazoned on its sides?
If it does it was born in Windhagen.
One of those was stolen from works on the M1 many years ago, pre tracker era. How a 30 ton road milling machine can be stolen and sold on amazes me.

Sore point. My PG Tips and other essential supplies are not due until at least next week while I finalise what else is being sent over. I know how they felt in Colditz waiting for the Red Cross parcels to arrive.
I have been raiding my partners supply of pricey teas and am currently working through the Ceylon Kenilworth.

I had the same problem working in France: there was a very upmarket tea seller nearby but it really didn't cover my basic everyday tea needs. When I was out again the following year I brought plentiful supplies and, much to my French friends' amusement, a teapot.

Much as the French know the roast beef and perpetual tea drinking is a myth they still chuckle at the notion of anglaise tea addiction.
The stuff in the supermarkets I've no doubt you encountered, Liptons.

There was a chap walking through the local shopping centre this morning with Blakey's metal heel and toe segs on his shoes....

I thought he was going to start tap dancing 😂

I did 10.28 miles but as it was on a turbo trainer it doesn't count.
