Enjoyed watching some episodes of Only Fools and Horses but ye gods, '80s fashion was hideous
Tell me about it. Part of the novel I'm writing is set in the late 80s / early 90s...

Time to put the writing away. Like Upsy Daisy, it's time to go find my bed.

I need to buy a new diary , my old one will run out soon . I use it mainly for recording my cycle rides and rides in my Jag . By the looks of it it might not need the first couple of weeks .

Talking of recording journeys in your Jag, does you car have an app that keeps details of journeys? I just checked my last journey and mine gives me journey duration, start and end points and times, ave speed, max speed, mpg and fuel litres consumed. I know that with some cars you can tell it to warm the interior up, which is probably useful in cold weather but my app doesn't do that.I need to buy a new diary , my old one will run out soon .

I don't know to be honest ! I'm still finding things out . The handbook . Lucky to have such a thing now apparently ! New cars are online only. The info in the book covers all the models so I have to figure out what mine has . I think some things like average speed and fuel consumption is shown on the dash by the speedo. I don't use my mobile phone apart from emergencies so apps are way beyond me !
Some people can start their cars to warm them up prior to driving off , but I think that may be a thing which was fitted at the factory so that would have been specified by the previous owner . A bit like folding mirrors , which seems to be optional extra . Mine has tyre pressure sensors . It has cameras mounted behind the screen by the mirror . Handy for emergency brake assist but useless if they mist up on a really cold day !

Huston we have a problem!
Well not exactly Huston but BT Open Reach! There are 5 vans out in our road !
There were 3 there just before Christmas , 2 a few days before that and a team looking for something nearby days before that . They seem to be looking underground . Perhaps when Virgin dug up the road to put their cables in they might have upset things !
Privatisation at its best !

Virgin uses BT's ducting for their cables. So there will end up being a conversation between the two once they've found the problem.

It was Virgin who dug up the road last year to put their cable in.
They were supposed to come round our estate but they just seemed to concentrate on the road.
There seems to be 2 ladders up poles with one chap feeding cable from the top of one pole .
Georgie found it fascinating watching them working .
