A seven year itch kind of cold?

An 'on a course & didn't have anything to do in the evenings' kind of cold. There was a limit to what you could do in a cheap hotel in Puteaux.

Well.. All the old tosh about mega traffic jams on the News came to nought.. My journey, this afternoon, A14, M6, A45, M42, M6, A14.
All virtually empty. The M42 on Friday rush hour is an excellent overtime creation situation! Today? 50mph on cruise control.

🎅

Was an accident M6 J18-19 earlier. 'Smart' motorway!

Went down to the breakfast lobby early - mediocre eggs and bacon as expected but acceptable just one cougher went back just now w Wifey & it’s a chaotic cesspool TB ward but this time I got the make your own waffles but had to eat w/o a fork. When ppl say “surviving Christmas” do they include all that?

Someone in the Rail Enthusiast thread seems to want to model Alton station

Looks like a good option for a physically small, complex layout.

Beautiful Wife has announced that there will be raclette tonight

As an ignorant American w/ a racey mind, my imagination is going wild

Well the evening has taken an eventful turn ...

Mundanely I had made tea. Mini cottage pies, mini burgers, sausage rolls plus other things.

Then son no. 1 passed out and I've taken him up to A&E; he landed face first so it's a CT scan, facial sewing and they want to keep him in for observation overnight.

Glad you were with him. Our son passed out in his kitchen a cpl years ago not as bad a result but his friends were with him. We didn’t find out for weeks later. Wishing him well

It's the uphill bits mainly. Very pretty but hard work.

But that time can be made up going downhill.

You never did cover the till at lunchtime, did you?

Heading out in about 30 mins, to see some Christmas lights. Meant to do this with CTC last week but snow meant ride was cancelled.

All his blood went to his stomach. Hope he’s okay and not feeling too embarrassed 🙈

It's a cheese-based platter of food, nothing racy there at all

Belated holiday greetings to all. I've been away from the forum for too long. Challenging couple of years, changed my job, father passed on, etc etc. Anyway, I'm still here and still cycling!

Sorry to hear your bad news.

But, talking of magpie, as we ate our Christmas turkey, 22 magpies assembled on the tree top outside. I have never seen so many in one place. And that song is going to need a few more verses.

(I'm on the turkey curry now.)

Starting to see some holes in the fridge which is good

In other news my phone alarm has just gone off telling me to go and cover the till for lunch. As the shop is currently 200km away this may be difficult.

The joys of an alarm you can ignore.

i ought to be wearing L plates while i am using this chromebook.Typing is so much easier with a proper keyboard,but the touchpad is so sensitive,even after slowing it down.But its fun and frustrating at the same time learning how to use it.Its so much better for my eyes.I have also decided to keep the Firetablet as a book reader for my Kindle account and my Virgin E mail account.Onward and upward.
