Blue skies after a night of rain.

But can you see Deidrie now Lorraine has gone?

You buy plain coloured socks so that it would be easier to find a matching pair . The manufacturer's then put coloured logos on the sides to make it bl**dy difficult again!

My cycling socks are marked L and R So that’s how I lay them in the sock draw

I know that bridge, too!
It's the 6th most bashed bridge in 2020/21

View attachment 620432

The bridge at Connel Ferry gets hit on a regular basis which causes chaos. Instead of a one mile journey I have in the past had to divert via Glencoe about 60 miles at least. Clearly signed 4.2 metres tho' some signs have 4.1M.

Cold wet and windy again with threats of ferry disruption. Another inside day.
Read my electricity meters and it appears heating alone will cost me at least £35 per week over the winter but need a longer period to get a proper estimate. The smokeless fuel I use in the stove would be less I think but getting fed up with the work involved. The coal merchant has gone on to fleecing tourists instead and we can only get 20KG bags now which are more expensive.
In another couple of weeks I will go back and try the coal again to get a better idea of the cost.

Signs should be marked up in feet & inches, then metric. Height markers, a legal requirement in trucks, are in feet & inches.

I've switched on the radio and I've been informed that after all these years, Chris Rea is still driving home for Christmas.

I did tell him not to buy a Morris Ital but he wouldn't listen.

That may explain some of the hits. I only think in metres for heights now and have never noticed any feet or inches. For a while I had motorhomes which were slightly higher than usual so always checked height clearance on any bridge.
I should be over there next week so will make a point of checking.

Feeling very tired today, so I may have a "not stand up".

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Back from walk. Lovely.

Bright sunny and cold. I may go looking for derelict photos after chores and lunch.

My old dog has just had a full body massage ( no euphemism) , l'm cooking pumpkin soup and listening to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young "Greatest hits". Sky has gone very dark, wind is rising and it is pouring with rain.....so happy not to be on horse duty today

Found a gap in the showers for my perambulation. Still pretty windy.

I started my car for the first time since before my accident in October to let it idle for a while and charge the battery up. I doubt I'll be able to drive until some point in the new year.

Maybe I should get a loud exhaust fitted and try to compete with my neighbour's Omega in the noise stakes🤔
