Pre work walk has been travelled and extended .

Although it's grey and dry outside it felt quite mild.

First cuppa brewing.

At some point I need to pee in to a sample pot.

Good morning from a very gloomy start to the day in Suffolk where it's hardly brightened up at all in the hour I've been up and about.

Not a very good night's sleep meant I was awake earlier than intended so coffee has been had and a load of washing is already half way through. I also need to run the clippers over the winter thermal hair growth as it's starting to look a bit untidy which will be done pre-shower.

Food shopping for the next few days needs to be done at some point and that's effectively it until the weekend as Thursday and Friday I'll work round what the rest of the family want to do and their timings.

You can tell you are getting old when the heat from the candles on your cake is greater than that from your central heating!

As normal Christmas baking is off I've just put some mincemeat loaves in the oven. No real work as most of it is down to Mr Kenwood.

I remember Billy Connolly recounting the tale of one of his daughters saying "You're on 5 boxes of candles on your cake now" (15 per box)

Second cuppa went down well with a slice of toast and red jam

My guess was a Qashqai. Or is it called Kicks in the USA?

Yes, they are called Kicks over here. I have a garage I go to, so I seldom get to the dealership, because the dealership is an expensive place to get a Nissan repaired.

I can't put it off much longer, I'm going to have to go out and do battle with the food shopping crowds.

That was nice few hours , my bast mate had an unplanned day off so just called round for a good old chat.
Not seen him for weeks but every time we meet it's just like we'd only sen each other the day before.

Juke?

Nissan Kicks

it’s a good rental, good visibility out, bright color good safety visibility, good road manners, handles predictably, does OK on highways & today on my morning commute which has 1/2 local roads. plenty of acceleration for getting on the highway ahead of trucks & over 40mpg for 30 miles of mixed driving! & I like adaptive cruise control!

a few minor negatives - cheap toylike feel, door controls are not illuminated, no sign of awd, every now & it then makes weird sounds, guessing it's the CVT?

I’ve noticed two things today, 1 you always join the longest queue and 2 Poinsettias just last one week, still we have a nice new expensive pot added to our collection.
