On another note SWMBO has a house full of ladies this evening. I've retreated for safety as it's too cold for a bike ride.

Bugger, the power's gone off in the garage and utility room, and I can't work out why. Went to get some logs and no lights.

Resetting the fuse box doesn't do anything, and the daylight's gone. I've got a bit of grace as long as I don't open the fridge or the freezer. I suspect one of those may have tripped things.

Never rains but it pours.

here's hoping it wasn't a mouse getting electrocuted on the fridge plug in the wall. don't ask me why I ask

I am now on O2 mobile.

That is the end of the news.

Soon to be Virgin Mobile.

Some quite good props tonight, and the usual smattering of double entendres . I wonder if Ray the rat will become as famous as the stickleback lol

Fabby supper of soup, then scallops, and to finish, the last of the apple crumble & custard.

I ended up poaching the scallops @oldwheels - just in a bit of vegetable stock, an unchopped garlic clove and some black pepper. And then drizzled with some melted parsley butter on top. They were so soft and beautifully sweet.

I couldn't see any bits of frazzled mouse...

Something is tripping the box though. I get a double klunk when I try a reset. Given that the only things in the garage / utility room that are actually turned on and working are the fridge and the freezer, chances are it's one of those that's causing the issue. Or possibly the multi-socket, or the actual wall socket itself.

Hey ho, troubleshooting in the morning.

At least it's cold enough for me to have a bit of grace with the fridge and freezer contents.

Shopping tonight, phew, arent things getting expensive. I seriously reckon my old £50 shop of last year would cost around £70 now . We're lucky, it smarts but we can absorb it, how on earth people close to the breadline are managing with food bills, petrol etc, it must be really hard.
On the way out, i gave a homeless young lady a couple quid. Get yourself a coffee or something i suggested, well...maybe she will

I know, a lot of basics have been creeping up, it's not just the more poncy stuff.

A friend volunteers for a local community pantry, collecting and then distributing short-dated food. She says she sometimes comes home in tears, because the boxes she delivers can be the first food a family has seen in days.

All I watched tonight was New Zealand, Earths Mythical Islands, it looked spectacular and had some strange animals in it.

The only chrimbo chocolates left are gin & tonic After Eights.

I've just finished watching today's episode of Antiques Road Trip that I missed earlier cos I was fiddling with a fuse box.

Now for a methinks.

The exam questions are for a final year undergraduate module in strategic marketing. Marketers don't really do "philosophical"

If they were older I'd do a Mr Big/Sex & the City death question and the impact on the Peloton brand.

If you want philosophical, you need to find an advertising man.

Given their price, I hope you ate them slowly. Savouring every last morsel.
