It is nearly next year!
 
I have been watching over Fish Baby! Don't ask me! His brother calls him that! It is something to do with how babies are born ! We weren't told that at school . :ohmy: The advances in science that they have made over the years is incredible !:wacko:
There has been a lot of arm waving and bashing objects on things , plus the odd sticking things in his mouth and covering things in dribble .
He now and then let's out a scream of enjoyment or one of frustration . It's something to do with uncontrollable limbs , one arm is waving around willy nilly whilst the other one tries to grab hold of something . :wacko:

Foggy day with light rain. I did not expect to be going out anywhere today so not too disappointed.
In any case the roads here will be a bit dodgy in bad viz with all the urban tractors rushing around for last minute shopping. The bits I use are mainly kind of single track but about one and threequarter car width rather than single car with passing places. The cycle track access involves a bit of main road crossing at a T junction where cars tend to cut the corner after coming over Connel Bridge. A right turn here can be a hazard tho' I could mitigate the problem by a bit of pavement riding for a hundred yards or so.

Breezy, mild and very occasionally sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

I feel like I've been hit by a knackered old bus - but only a small one. Feeling tired and achey this morning, but nowhere near as grotty as I felt with the AZ jabs. My right arm is very sore and bruised though. And the nurse practitioner really wasn't joking about the trots being a side effect... :blush:

Ergo I have opened a new pack of 24 loo rolls, just to be on the safe side... :whistle:

It is almost time for luncheon.

I find it intriguing that loo roll packs are sold in quantities that do not allow for easy comparison of the price per roll.

I'm in Diss. Not Datt, definitely Diss.

Are you connecting?

@biggs682 I'd only worry if she suggests an urgent visit to Thailand :huh:

They're priced per sheet though. Not that it's easy to check, or at least not without being thrown out by store security :okay:

Sunny, breezy and incredibly mild, though I did read that Kodiak in Alaska recorded a frightening December temperature of 19C, so our meagre 14C won't break any worldwide records.

Meanwhile, the lifts aren't working and I'm due a delivery shortly. As it's ''Tomas'' doing the delivery, I know from experience that different people log in using his name and then only pretend to deliver. Even if he makes a rare sortie to the building front door (probability level of rare to unheard of), he's not going to carry the delivery up almost 100 steps. I think I might just let whoever Tomas is today leave it wherever he thinks suitable.
 
update on new year's. host's live-in boyfriend, has a bad case of kidney stones. went to the emergency room & is having surgery new year's eve day. not sure what time. regardless, the party is off. I can sleep late & not stress about getting home covid tests as if they were Red Sox tickets
well I was all set sleeping late, until the cats got me up. they went out & came in so I went down to the pharmacy. I must have had "the look" an employee immediately said their delivery of home covid tests didn't come in & they don't know when they'll get them. went to McD's & got breakfast. should I go back to bed?
