I can feel my eyes watering just thinking about it...

a tasty way to clear your sinus though.

The sun came out a little while ago . It's gone back in now.

 

[Oldhippy]

Not back at until next year now.

Was mild and sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

Much of the morning was wasted on the Great Lightbulb Hunt as most places in town were out of stock on what I needed - which was a couple of 100W equivalent bayonet fitting. I landed up in Tesco and bought two of their own brand plus a Phillips, as that's all they had in stock as well.

Dining room and sitting room bulbs replaced as they were getting very dim. Especially the sitting room. For some reason, that's still far dimmer than what I'd like, but I think it's because the Wilko bulbs are more balanced towards daylight. It's doing my head in, as it looks "wrong" in there. Unless the one I replaced was a daylight bulb...

Anyways, as a result, I'm tired, grumpy and pissed off.

There was a veritable wall of sausages on sticker today as well, and am debating whether to bother going back in a little while.

My brother's Garmin is set to ''share''. From which I gather he's stopping in the Twenty Nine Palms Resort in California with an uninterrupted view of desert to the south.

I see an ad on telly for a new MG.

I remember when MG made sports cars and not hideous SUVs

I don't know why you needed to replace them as these modern energy saving bulbs last for years ?

The one in the sitting room had started to flicker, and there's an almighty split down the side of the casing where it goes into the socket.

Power seems to be really shite here at the moment - everything in the house is running on the dim side and has since yesterday. It's rather annoying.

I know. Dodgy dealings and asset stripping no doubt

Yes, they all seem to be short, fat, and high. But that seems to be the template these days. If only the roads were getting fatter....

We had an MGB with steel bumpers. I liked it but it had a terrible rust problem and cost a fortune to keep fixing new bits of bodywork.

A bit early but wishing everybody a guid New Year and despite the best efforts of the BBC I am not going to Carlisle.
