Our on loan electric heater is currently costing us a 1p a minute 😭

I have extricated the boxes of Christmas decorations from the attic. Also found all the wool in shade of green/sparkly red/ silver that I can use to knit some trees.

Slowly starting to feel normal, had a nice short walk to the post office. To post half the national debt in Christmas cards for Mrs 73.

If I think the recipients will welcome the idea, I send E cards, from Jacqui Lawson.
They have music and moving pictures, or just a longer note to write. You can choose your message, and add a short message.

There is an e Advent calendar as well.

There are also ones for people owned by cats (or dogs or bears).

@Jenkins - very nice, but is that an allegory?

Jeans and a thick towel ended up having a hours tumble dry. Another pair of jeans meanwhile were drying upstairs. With the lifting of the hose pipe ban I decided to give the cars wheel arches a blasting.
The hose pipe however did not take kindly to its slumbers being disturbed and on the first wheel arch promptly parted company from the trigger gun resulting in a bit of a drenching.

It was a little bit chilly this afternoon...


(That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it )

Having had a very good day, I plan on having a very bad evening. I have potato based snacks, bottles of falling over water are in the fridge and there's no need to get up early on Sunday.

This evenings bottle of ale is Bank's Amber ale.

Went out for a short ride earlier to relieve some lower back pain; poor planning meant that I ended up having to ride the last two kilometres or so in the dark, with low cloud, on a steep winding downhill section of road I'd not ridden before.

Still, I made it: I realised I stopped doing that sort of silly thing at some point: apparently I grew up, and started planning and organising myself, so I didn't end up in this sort of situation. Prudent, yes, but I realised I'd missed the feeling I had today...

Force 8 across the Irish Sea means the ferry is bouncy. Not quite but close.

I don't like boats!

I enjoy boats and seem to thrive on it when it's rough. I sometimes think I should have gone to sea.

If you don't like a rough sea, don't sail Ballycastle to Campbeltown!

The only time it gets rough on a narrowboat is when a boat goes by too fast.
