I've been at work for three hours and still haven't done anything apart from drink coffee & eat a banana.

Nice day here, bike sorted after yesterday's mud bath, I'm in fine fettle considering i was out last night drinking and eating.

Fabulous game and dumpling pie in The Crown, Stamford then G&Ts at The George..
Wallet bashing but a very nice evening..

Bit of food shopping, then i think a nice long walk is in order

The annual "queue for the refuse centre" opposite our factory has been in full swing since 8 this morning.

Currently looking out the window at all the idling cars, full to the brim with rubbish.

When did Xmas become so stupid ?

Wife wanted to, hopefully she's forgotten.

Good 'can't say I didn't warn you' strategy.

Meanwhile, I'm on a 47 bus.

Thought I remembered that one, London Bridge to Boss St, where my grandparents lived. Although the bit of Boss St they lived in is no more.

I have been out over to Lacock to see my brother. I met some nice pedestrians in the lanes who kindly moved over for me . I even chatted to some on my way back .
On my way back home I met a totally different person who deliberately stepped into my path forcing me to stop . I was cycling on a joint cycle and pedestrian path . She said that I should be in the road . I said that it was a purpose built path costing hundreds of thousands of pounds to be built . She wouldn't have it and said that the road has a cycle lane marked on it .
I pointed to a sign at the end of the path and said that it was a circular blue sign with a cycle and pedestrian on it . She wandered off shaking her head .
The path is wide enough to drive a lorry along !
At each intersection is a blue sign. Halfway along the section where the path narrows there is a sign saying "Cyclists Dismount ". At one of the roundabouts there is an arrow in the road with a picture of a cycle pointing towards the path !
There's no pleasing some folk !

Good to see tribalism is alive and well. If you were on the road and she'd driven past, what's the betting she'd have wound down the window and shouted at you to "get on the cycle path"?

I wondered what the bad smell was in my kitchen, the waste bin is full.

I extend my empathy, a cold last week that has developed into an interesting bronchial infection followed by gastroenteritis yesterday. I have a fridge full of food and want none of it.

We’ve taken down our Christmas decorations. Normality resumed. Thank goodness.

I’ve washed the car, I noticed that I have scratched it, I am somewhat irked by this discovery.

Could you buff the scratch out? T-Cut or similar?

Pretend someone else scratched it and hate on them, I'm deluded enough for it to work for me.

Worked for populist politicians down the ages too...

Disconnected the PC speakers, monitor, external back up drives. USB hub. The monitor has failed after over a decades use. So clearing the space, cleaning the space, and untangling all the wires, ahead of picking up and connecting up replacement monitor tomorrow. The now defunct monitor is pre wide screen , so the new one will be a novelty.
