Hmmm... Have you experienced the joys of Carpet Rugby?

Been snowing here for an hour, got about an inch worth, just waiting for the Met Office Amber warning to alert on my phone

Note to self, do not ask, do not ask, do not ask

Happy Birthday .

Thanks, I was well looked after. My daughter decided to wrap up a bottle of whisky as a comedy shaped present.

Wave hello to Rockingham Motor Speedway for me as you drive past

Ah yeah.

I've heard rumours that they're going to restart racing at the Rock again.

Anyways, time to finish my and get changed, then pootle off to Tesco.

It's usually fairly un-busy in there on a Saturday evening.

That’s exactly what we’re doing today. I wanted to take it all down on the 27th, but was outvoted.

Bad luck before 12th night, mind it's bad to put them up before Christmas Eve too..

They always stay up till Twelfth Night here. Mind, I don't put them up till just a few days before Christmas.

I only have a 2 ft tree on a coffee table, and the rest of the decorations is greenery from the garden, so that's just a matter of putting it in the green wheelie bin.

We've got a bunch of old 'low voltage' lights where part of them have failed* that go out on the Privet at the front. I'm not bothered if they get damaged/vandalised but they've been limping on for years although they do look nice when I've arranged them so that the 'dead curcuits' are not too noticable. Some of them have been going on like this for years.

* Non repairable and in the House the dead sections are too visible on the tree but rather than bin them they go outside until they completely fail.

Our powered USB 10 metre extension cable for the smart turbo just blew up! Fortunately I've a spare - different manufacturer - in stock.

I managed to tread on the plug at the end of the cable on our Tacx and destroyed it, this time I’m gong to fit one with a 90 degree plug so it doesn’t stick out quite so far.

The lesson for the day is: always have a spare in stock...

True - swapped and rider back online in under 30 seconds. Plus another spare ordered. Given the cable's stretched across four rooms (study - hall - living room - dining room) whenever we need to use the smart turbo it's done well lasting since March.
