Very mild here and the next few days look rather good too.

Does anyone still use Yahoo mail?

Yes

Blimy, I would have done but that issue (Nov '97) was out just one month after I started my current job....who knows what might have been.

I am trying to decide if I have been selfish or not. We have our Christmas Meal at work today 2 miles away in town, which inevitably leads to much drinking by others. I have ridden to work on my bike for three reasons.

1, I can say no to some drinks because I have to ride home
2, I don't have to share a cab with anyone who might potentially be sick. nor do I have to 'look after anyone'
3, I can leave when I want and don't have to wait for anyone to finish drinking, talking, etc

Am I selfish?

Not at all, you have given yourself options. Just because others are doing xy&z doesn't mean you are obliged.
Work do's can be a nightmare and I do not go on that many. Even just socials. These bigger ones tend to follow a pattern....

Someone will get far too drunk and embarrass themselves,
Someone will kiss someone they shouldn't,
A girl will cry,
Some will come to, or close to blows.....

Sometimes better off out of it.

I'm not sure eating most of a box of posh French chocolate is helpful in my quest to lose weight!

I'm sure it is.

Yahoo mail is experiencing technical difficulties. Again!

You mean they're not able to pass the messages on to the security services before they send it to the recipient?

I see from the BBC weather man that after the shortest day yesterday, we've got an extra 3-5 secs* of daylight today.




*North vs South

Have we already had it this morning or will we get extra light at the end of the day. If it is later in the day I can fit in a longer ride before it gets dark.

 

[Maverick Goose]

Oh goodness.....now that gets a bit complicated.....I think there's an extra 2 secs this morning and 1 sec this evening. Enjoy it!!

Thanks for the FYI...I will!

Lovely sunny day here today, chilly but sunny.

All 3 directors are here so need to show willing even though I don't have any, just ready to finish now.

 

[Gravity Aided]

All our ice has melted off the pavements around here, finally, after a lovely warm day yesterday. Warm for here in the winter is about 44F, back to about 2C or so today.Sunny as well. We normally have Tupperware skies throughout the winter.

 

[PeteXXX]

WooHoo!!
Only a couple of days before I get to play with my new turkey baster

 

[Salad Dodger]

A taxi just arrived to collect someone who isn't here. I suspect he should have gone to the doctors surgery along the road........

This is the most exciting thing that has happened today.

Later sunset, ample time for a longer ride.
