[Andy in Germany]

Good morning.

Toast and Marmite will shortly be consumed, then I'll open the shutters and see what the weather is throwing at us this morning. Online reports suggest it's a tempest.

According to last night's weather report we are due -5 on Saturday night
Rained overnight stopped now.
Black bin is awaiting a hug and a shake from the machine that Empties it .

Yeah, I've recently found out how to scan on my printer (I've only had it eight years or so) so I can scan all the photos from before I had a digital camera and the ones of my parents and grand-parents. I have a cracking one of my grandad outside his greengrocer shop on Xmas Eve 1927. Three piece suit, flat cap and polished leather gaiters.

I read that as a three piece suite !

Further to yesterday's cheese discussions, I've begun today with an online order of cheesy things from Little Bread Pedlar near London Bridge. These are cheesy things and they're really quite cheesy. I also ordered a wholegrain sourdough loaf. Once the rain has disappeared, I'll be off to collect them.

Grey and miserable. But enough about me...
Not sure what to do, today, yet.

Morning .
There are rain spots on the window so I assume that's what it has been doing .
The three Scalextric cars that I wonded on the bay arrived yesterday. After a good clean and fitting a new plastic pinion gear I have got 2 of them running . I need to find a new braid and tyre for the other one . Little one is quite happy seeing them going round the track.

Now that the snow has departed we are back to full, dreary, dismal dreich weather.

I'm also running dangerously low on Marmite. A trip to the supermarket is scheduled for after work.

Morning from the conservatory office. Pleased to report got a decent nights sleep. This "volterol" is magic. Still not upto even attempting to walk far or touch the turbo, but I'm moving three times faster than I was. Weather dull and damp.

Big announcement at work, they are merging two Faculties. Doesn't mean any more work for me as I look after both, but, the biggest news is there will be one management team not two. This means I'll get back half a day a week - 0.1 FTE that was sat in meetings. Whoooooooooo

Mild and drizzly here chez Casa Reynard.

I have made a pot of curried pumpkin soup and put the finishing touches to a poem.

It is almost time for lunch.

I didn't sleep well.
