Right, I've trimmed my fingernails.

Time to fill up the wood bins. I have gotten distracted by the UK seniors snooker...

Been for a walk round local lake. It’s cold enough for a beanie again.

It was v cold up there. This is Charlie, the current dog du jour..

I just took my mother back to hospital, this time for a CT scan. We got there 15 minutes early and left 2 minutes after the appointment time. That's never happened to me before. I'd pessimistically paid for 2 hours' parking.

Wood bins all filled - on the double. Much too cold outside to linger.

Back to the writing. I am currently having fun developing a character who is something of an antagonist. He only has a minor part at this stage in the story, but then becomes much more important later on.

Ooooooo, they've featured stock car (short oval) racing on Antiques Road Trip!!!

Mendip Raceway to be precise, with Superstox (or Brisca F2 - near enough the same thing) and Bangers and a bit of a track whirl in 1300cc stock saloons...

Dry here but a cold wind. From Fort William north blizzard conditions.
The family attempted to go to Nevis Range but abandoned this due to weather.
I went for a trike run instead and tried Glen Creran but did not persist too far up the road as not many passing places and blind corners and a surprising amount of traffic. Got caught out on a hill with an oncoming car in too high a gear which meant I had to reverse a bit in order to change down to get restarted. Never a good idea and it seemed to have done something to the front mech which stopped working properly and then the chain came off Arrrrgh.
After a lot of fiddling and swearing it appeared the mech had slipped on the post tho' no obvious signs of this. Nearly hypothermic by the time I got that sorted but not really tried it out on the road yet.
Son back home from Taiwan after a lengthy trip due to cancellations and then at Amsterdam two passengers checked in luggage but did not turn up for boarding. Luggage had to get removed which took a while as it was nearly first on. The joys of modern travel.

BT are creating a lot of interest around here lately . The other day we had the vans back for them to put up some more wires . They came again the next day with 3 vans and tightened up the cables . This morning 2 vans arrived and they connected up another cable and left it in a roll tied to the pole . Just now we had a chap walking around with what looks like a fishing rod . I suppose it is to check the height of the cables .

Not Openreach?

A different dog each day?

Each few days. Charlie goes home on Saturday, and another one arrives. I do home dog boarding.
