A day of painting beckons. I'm in Lincoln at son no. 1's helping paint more of the house he bought a few months ago.

It's a hallway to be done today although the colour is still to be decided. Suggestions for a narrow hall without natural light? He's thinking a pale green. It's currently orangey and peeling.

Must tidy up the spare room sorting of emptied boxes on the bed today...
Frosty and negative temps.

Good morning from Suffolk where it's been blue skies, sunshine and very cold all morning.

Coffee has been had after a second very good night's sleep in a row. The rest of the morning will see me being very busy doing nothing.

Nurses have been talking drip flow rates. At one point one of them looked at me and said your wife talk about this stuff. Yes I said I’ve had it for over 20 years

225watts peak output from our solar panels for one day this week. That must have been yesterday when it was sunny. 8 panels not doing a great deal. They are not going to do much today covered in frost with the sun partially hidden by mist.

My system has a theoretical maximum output of 4kWh (1.7 kWh at the moment due to the low sun) but on Tuesday last week when it was especially dull, the total for the day was only 0.9kw.

Ours have powered the washing machine and are now re charging some AA batteries.

Another bank has been visited so swmbo can change her surname in the correct way.

Second cuppa went down well as did the hot cordial drink.

It's afternoon, sunny, and the frost on the flat-roofed block opposite still hasn't melted where it's in the shade. It may be the coldest midday of the year. I can predict that tomorrow will also be the coldest midday of the year. Though, of course, it will also be the warmest...

I'm considering bothering my daughter and g-kids for an end-of-year coffee.

annual gathering at a friends house. the only thing I don't like is that they don't have regular broadcast television. so you can't tune in the usual networks & ball drop in NYC. usually have great time anyway, good food, drink & company. there's a usual crowd, about 8 of us & some newbies come & go, year to year. very gracious of our friend to host

Discovered 'sweet pepper drops' on a salad last weekend - lovely little things - cross between a tomato and a pepper. I may have to purchase some.
