It's pouring rain outside. Hopefully it will dry up so I can go for a short walk hobble.

Gate and back, or another attempt at parking your car.

Don't go rushing recovery.

I see what you did there.

It was 'Some Great Reward' that I didn't have and I needed to replace 'Construction Time Again' as the vinyl is just knackered. Got them both from the same seller so the postage doesn't work out to be too bad.

Done twice.

Lovely and sunny here today apart from a little fog this morning. As I`m in France at the moment I converted to kilometres but I haven`t put the found cycle computer onto the Scott as yet so I guess I did about 15-20 km. So now I`m getting ready for a few hours of football with lots of tea and then I`ll sort the bike computer out for another run tomorrow

Cool and grey here chez Casa Reynard, with a brisk north-westerly.

I have spent the morning writing, and then, after lunch, I have to take the parental unit for her Covid booster.

Think I will curl up and have a plumpitty day, after.

Also, F1 qualifying is live on Radio 5 Live Sports Extra at 5 to eight this evening.

It's all become commercialised humbug, with the true meaning of Xmas forgotten.
It's getting earlier every year, and this year may even be cancelled.

You missed “It’s for the children”.

You missed “It’s for the children”.

I didn't want to say that if they are looking at cancelling it this year. The kids will be in tears if they do that.

Wasn't Scrooge a big user of the word "Humbug", and didn't believe in the Christmas spirit?

He used the phrase “Bah!Humbug!“ just twice and the story ends with his wishing everbody a Merry Christmas and laughing.

Mum's been pfizered and flue jabbed.

I can reliably inform you all that she can now receive Radio 5 Live Sports Extra and Talksport.

Anyways, I have my onesie on, a hot water bottle, a and a packet of crisps.

Ferries mostly cancelled as expected with gales we have today and tomorrow.
Had a go at clearing out some of the junk in my allegedly back bedroom. It has 3 bikes and an amazing amount of camping stuff as well as bits from my motorhome when it got sold. Only managed to get rid of a surplus bedside cabinet but there is an ottoman which can go but will need to wait for a dry day so that I can take my trike out of the car to get it to either charity or landfill.
Found also an old log book I started in 1953 when I started touring. Fascinating and brings back many happy memories.
There was also a Toshiba 200 notebook running win XP which my wife used. It still works once I charged it up but not connected it to the internet. May be an interesting experience trying to use it after being on Apple for so long.

He used the "Humbug" nine times though.

I thought it was Tiny Tim who ended the tale?

Was one of them a gas injection?
