I should have reported earlier that neither my car, nor the drive, nor the north-east facing part of the roof defrosted today.
Some south facing areas up here didn't defrost either.I should have reported earlier that neither my car, nor the drive, nor the north-east facing part of the roof defrosted today.
It's National Mince Pie Day on Saturday the 22nd November and Morrissons are giving away 50,000 mince pies, free, as part of the celebration.
You'll be celebrating then?No morrisons near here alas. But I *do* have a small stashette of Min Spies...

Have you ever thought about cycling from Lands End to Jon O' Groats? It has crossed my mind but I could never do it. For one thing there is planning the route! It's fine at the start as the signpost points in the general direction , but go a few miles and you will notice that JOG doesn't appear any more! Now where? Out with the map. I suppose you would head in the general direction of Bristol but that is a few pages further on!
Where would you stop as you can't cycle it in a day? Then there are food supplies to consider as sandwiches won't last that long? Trying to find fish and chips shops on route would add to the time, asking locals for directions and then queueing for them.
Finally you make it to Bristol , do you head for the Severn Bridge or carry on to Gloucester? Once the other side now where? Head north but which way?
It's a bl**dy nightmare! I admire those peeps that have done it but It needs a lot of planning.![]()
Go over and quietly point out that they are sat where you normally sit, and that there's a free table(Where you were sitting) just over there, that they could use.A dreich, wet morning here. I should have brought my umbrella.
Now waiting on my breakfast. Some inconsiderate 🤬 has sat in my window seat.I can't indulge in my favourite hobby of watching people trying to park their enormous SUVs!
