Mundane News

Had Northern Flickers digging in the lawn for grubs. Unlike other woodpeckers they don't drill into trees so much although they will peel off some bark to get at larvae underneath. Nice to have a little free lawn aeration. Dry today and not much chance of snow for a week. Be good to get some riding in on non-studded tires.

I just spent an hour in the garden doing stuff. Was wrapped up like Mrs Bibendum (base layer, mid layer, top layer) and still got chilled through.

No fog here... yet.

I have a down jacket, shame about the extremities.

Snowing here in Dewsbury, Yorkshire. It's more entertaining than some of the assignments I've been reading today.

Ending the working day with IT issues

Our printer has vanished from all devices without any warning and it's not allowing re connection

No, as it isn't the best at starting in the cold weather and I want to get the battery charger on it before trying to run it to avoid damaging the battery by boosting it. It'll take several hours to charge so figured I set it going in the morning. The car unlocked readily enough and the hazards switched off as soon as I pressed the button.

Could just be the something got very cold & set the alarm off, or conversely as it warmed up the internal sensor thought something had tripped

Are they varifocals? I'm convinced my right lens is very slightly too low, I think it should be about 1mm higher in the frame

Yes they are fairly vocals. They tried measuring them . Not sure how accurate the system is . The prescription has altered from the last one .

It was strange to see twice as many people walking down our road than there actually were .

Had a knock on the door earlier. It was one of our neighbours to say that the hazard warning lights on the car were on. Very strange. The car hasn't been run since Monday. No signs that the car has been bumped either. How bizarre.

Perhaps it wanted attention. A bit like busses always turning up together so they don't feel lonely.

Open packet of spaghetti strategically placed in top cupboard. At least my cat finds it amusing

Mine should have been. I put it out last night but apparently they aren't coming until next Monday, according to other neighbours.

On the greyness chart it is definitely grey out today !

Number!

If only they had told me yesterday though, it would have saved me going out in the freezing evening weather to put the thing out! Mind you, the guy next door who told me to put my bin out on the wrong day last week did the same... haha

My new angle grinder didn't arrive today as it was expected to do. Hopefully it will be here tomorrow or Saturday.

I did get a kilo of putty yesterday though (a day early), so that's two parcels down and two to go.
