It's raining. Not a surprise, just inconvenient.

That rain that hangs around in the air and sneaks through the outer layers to meet the condensation on the inside. All that kit the adverts assured you were waterproof, breathable and wicking ......

Yes, I am miserable. I have to go out on my bike. They took the bus away, the one car has been requisitioned by HID.
I am going to get damp and probably cold.

Herumph!

That sounds lovely! So why am I picturing a football sized round loaf hollowed out with clam chowder in it? Must be the world cup ^_^

No, nothing quite that fancy, just did not feel like a lot of preparation for dinner after work. Buffalo burger with bacon-pepper jam and Swiss cheese with fried onion for lunch, though.

I have my works Christmas party this evening (or as they call it, an end-of-year celebration. Heaven forbid they offend someone).

Amazing, the cutbacks. Pre-Covid, it was a suit and tie event with a three course sit down dinner.

This year it's just finger food and casual clothing and oddly enough, held on a week night. :sad:

It's probably best it is not formal wear though as the weight I put on while out of action would mean me putting on my only suit is likely to be a health and safety issue with flying buttons which could put someone's eye out!

My younger son used to work in Germany for a while and he came home regularly on a plane which landed at Glasgow about midnight and then drove to Oban. He was regularly stopped by police on Loch Lomondside looking for drugs and he got to know some of them quite well. He never had any problems as being completely clear anyway. Perhaps his old "airport car" looked dodgy.

Mrs 73 when she work in custody one night driving the HCP marked response car mind way to a call she was pulled over. They asked her what she going at that time of night. It was then they clocked the car and who she was. When she said she was on way to a call at X police station. They tuned round and said we will escort you in. :laugh:

I know the feeling and my "funeral suits" fitting means if I go to such an event I hope for a damp day as I can then wear a dark raincoat kept for such occasions.:ohmy:
