First cuppa went down well
The sky is changing colour slowly
Pesky cat has spread his tuna breakfast around the kitchen

So 4 rather than 3

A few more than that !

A question...
Did we ever decide what was the best tea? I need a change from what I presently imbibe.
No Earl Grey or Lapsang Goujon suggestions, please.
Needs to be strong, in a bag but no string is necessary.

Morning. It is grey here but dry .
I need to have a look in my garage for some tools today , whilst I am there I will do a recount as I think I may have missed a frame .
It becomes difficult counting once above 2 .

My wife happened to mention my watch collection the other night . I feel a bit like the character Alun Armstrong played in New Tricks.
Anyway I just thought I would look to see what they were going for on the bay . I was pleasantly surprised . I looked up Hefik . I got one in a collection of 3 watches . It is a 9ct gold long service presentation watch from a company from Birmingham . I saw that there were a couple on the bay for around £250. Not bad as I paid a fraction of that for all 3.

A brightish start and not so misty in the distance but forecast is still dire for the rest of the day.
No immediate end in sight and I have to arrange a trip to Oban in a couple of weeks time. Not booked any boats yet as I want a reasonable chance of getting there and back without having to do the Lochaline run which tourists and most of the settlers think is wonderful.
A long tedious run IMO as being mostly single track you cannot look at the scenery if you want to stay on the road. There is also a long steep hill which is no problem in a car but my vans used to struggle fully loaded to stay above 1st gear. A friend who has a large artic said he was going uphill fully freighted and doing 4.3 gallons per mile. Yes gallons per mile.
Yesterday on the Glengorm Castle road I saw the effect of not paying attention. A farm pickup had obviously rolled over off the road as there is no room for error and a frost may not have helped.
I have hot water on tap again. Amazing how something now taken for granted used to be a luxury when I was young.

Sunny and dare I say it, almost warm!

Negative LFT. Cycling to visit friends in adjoining counties for a pub lunch and catch up.

Well it's all kicking off here in Honkers.

Huge increase in Omicron cases and a Gov that has no idea what to do. The Zero Covid ideaology policy is now up a certain creek but they were warned that this was bound to fail.

This is not going to end well I fear. I was out on the bike today and I've never seen the roads so quiet. So there's an upside.

Spring is well underway , the sun is doing its bit , the grass in the horse fields is showing signs of new growth and my hounds are busy snoozing in the rays

To be fair they have been outside for a while , busily trying to dig up moles .....and failing miserably !
