First ride of 2022 done. Very quiet outside though. Not complaining but the highlight was following a PLA army truck, as one of my routes pass two PLA bases, and keeping up with them. I got a thumbs up from a few of the troops in the back of the truck, to which I responded with a tongue out, knackered expression. That raised a few laughs with them.

Well, apparently a new year began while I was sleeping. I will reserve judgement on whether this is a good or bad thing as the new year develops. I am taking my kids so they can join in on the New Year's Day ride at the local trail centre and see their cycling friends (I am still healing from injury, so not riding).

The new year is even more wet and windy than the old one.

It's too late in the evening for me to work out things like that

Its too late in life for me !

 

[Illaveago]

Happy New Year to everyone !

 

[Illaveago]

Has someone been in and decorated the place out in magnolia while we were asleep ?

Has there been a coupe?

Morning all, I woke with the urge to get into the 🚗 and drive to the coast. Then I remembered I don't have a red car. Besides, ''woke'' is probably an exaggeration of my current state of mind.

The folks round here didn't bother with fireworks on Nov 5th, I think they were saving them for New Year's Eve. It was like the blitz earlier (except prettier). I got some free food from my new Romanian neighbours who had a BBQ. They seem very nice but I struggle to understand them sometimes.

Yes, it was like a WW1 artillery barrage round here, it woke me up, I was not impressed.

The fireworks went off early in the evening around here . We heard some later but not that many .
I thought ITV's new year celebrations were a bit meagre . We watched s bit of the news and then switched over to the Beeb to watch Big Ben .

Have chatted with a friend who is good with electrics, and he says my problem with all the lights running dim is either something in the fuse box or a problem with the actual supply. I'm banking that it's the latter. We sometimes get days where the power isn't great out here in the boonies, but this is longer than usual.

Where I live the mains voltage is pretty stable nowadays but I remember some years ago that it could go down as low as 210 volts when it would normally be 240 volts. It was a bit of a nuisance to put it mildly as it interfered with the running of electric motors and did dim the lights.
Your supplier needs to get this sorted as possibly supplying too many properties or perhaps a business with a high demand.

A few of the people I wished happy new year to haven't bothered to reply.
