I've decided, some of you peeps, "across the pond", stay up late & get up late. I'm retiring for the evening 8:34pm, good night ...

I'm calling it a night. Hot bath first, though.

Nunnight one and all xxx

Final Christmas shopping to be done this morning. I was going to go yesterday, but felt terrible after my jab. Today is the day though and I’ll arrive just before the shops open in the hope it will be a little quieter. Any later in the day and it’ll be bedlam. Then outside lights to put up this afternoon. There’s always something to do.

Yeah, that's preferable, until they make the mint ones again.

Family trip this evening to see the light show at Silverstone 👪😊

After a 2nd catch-up nap I went to see whether the lift was working. It was. Fine, I can get the bike out. Half an hour later, the council phoned me up to inform me that the lift was out of service and the engineer had been called. So I went to see. Out of service. Half an hour later, the thing's working again. These new lift engineers are not exactly confidence inspiring. If we want to go up or down they have to go back and forth.

Presumably they employ the cheapest contractor based on the cost of a callout.

Morning all, I know it's the winter solstice today, but it's not got much lighter out there than it was at 6am when I set off for work. Two coffees into the shift and I'm thinking about going out and doing something energetic in a warehouse, just to keep warm.

I've just eaten 2 packets of crisps. It's an unusual way for me to start the day. Coffee next.

scrape it off & re-butter it. what are you afraid of?

I've heard the fluff comes off if you suck it, Bill told me.

Happy Winter Solstice fellow mundaners.

I usually go for a really long ride on the WS (to match one I also do on the SS) but working today so did a 100 yesterday. Last year managed 200 on both, it's amazing just how much more tiring and longer it feels when it's colder and darker.

Although I do love riding in the dark when it's quieter and there's the atmospheric twinkle of distant lights. Was perfect conditions for it yesterday.

Grey damp and cold day. I had intended to go out on the trike but beginning to swither on that.
Need to go to the pharmacy which at least gets me out of the house and I can get a better idea of weather conditions.
