Mundane News

[oldwheels]

Still dry and cold but the clouds are starting to lift. Sleet showers are promised by the weather forecast and there is a sprinkle of snow on the highest island mountain tops I can see.
Soup on the go for lunch but no idea what I have for evening meal apart from some sausages I took out of the freezer.
Nothing planned and I do not feel very energetic but may try a trike run later if the sleet stay away.

God knows how many warnings and articles in the news site regarding the expected frost this weekend.

When I was young, it was called winter and we just got on with it.

That's very true

today they poke around the inside of my ear.I hope they can bring back the hearing.It comes with a free add on package.Tinnitus,Dizziness and balance problems,which as a cyclist i would like to delete.

Balance problems have put me off two wheels and on to three. It limits my runs to road or cycle path due to the limitations of a mech only a couple of inches above ground level and too easy to damage.

Any idea what the US Coast Guard* were doing on Tuesday, off the SE coast?

*USS Hamilton, 743.

Usually naval types turn off the GPS when it gets interesting.

Have to get up! HID has invited company. Who goes out at 10:00 in the morning?

Unless it's for a sunny morning cycle

Bright and sunny here chez Casa Reynard. Cold, but it doesn't feel too bad as there's not much of a breeze.

Slept well, and have spent the morning doing chores. Have re-stocked the wood bins in the house, finished tidying up Sunday's grocery shop (dumping it in the utility room keeps the mess out of sight! ), put all the plastic packaging in the recycling and re-stocked the biscuit stash in the house. Also, one of the furry madams missed the side of the litter tray, so I had to clean the floor upstairs as well.

The berries on my big holly tree had been disappearing at a consistent rate recently, but a small flock of redwings descended on it this morning, and it's now been completely stripped bare. They're also having a go at the last few grapes still clinging to the vine. I don't mind, the grapes weren't nice enough to want to use this year.

Also put in an offer on a watch on the Bay of E - my Christmas pressie to myself if the seller accepts. It will need a new case back at some point though, as someone has tried to get inside without using the correct tool. There's also a nice Heuer I'm keeping an eye on, but that listing is an auction, and I predict a bun fight that I probably won't get involved in.

Anyways, it's time for luncheon.

You are the Miss Marple of motorsport photography 🕵️‍♀️

Only in my (rather narrow) area of expertise...

Here at covid central I do not know what the weather is because I haven’t looked outside yet but it feels cold. The mister is driving the girl to the bus stop in town - normally one of us walks with her but covid’s seen to that. I am in bed feeling very sorry for myself.

Hope you feel more chipper soon, hun xxx

This abbreviation, HID has some unfortunate connotations as in "human immune deficiency ", which can lead to full blown (excuse the expression) , HIV or Aids which is difficult, if not impossible to get rid of. Sort of appropriate to my jaundiced way of thinking.
