Mundane News

[Illaveago]

Good news - it's stopped raining
Bad news - the wind's picked up.

Guess who's gone and booked the car's MOT & service for the only day in March that I'm going to be away for (picked up a cheap rail ticket for a few hours in London in the sale last week). I'll just have to drop it off the day before and (if it passes) hope the garage is still open when I get back a little before 17:30.

Oh well. Hot chocolate time.

Can't you just reschedule the MOT for another day?

Good morning all, just starting to get light, looks frosty.

Gloomy over cast sort of morning but still dry ,hopefully I'm off out in bit if it stays like this.

Morning.
Brightening up, clear sky above but some cloud around. The ground is damp.
Not sure if I will go for a ride. I want to go and get some paint for my bike which will mean a 28 mile drive.

It is my intention to do the Eastern loop from here
But I have to leave a warm, comfy bed.
This is a real dilemma

Good morning from Suffolk where there's a little bit of sunshine to be had today although it's still somewhat soggy underfoot.

Coffee has been had while trying to decide what to do today - the answer being as little as possible.

Luckily the garage is within 5 minutes walk of home and the train station so, as long as the train is on time, I should make it as they close at 17:30 and the train gets in at 17:20

Second cuppa went down well.
It might be my imagination but I think the sky is getting lighter so we might see the sun at some point

temps plummeted. January thaw is over

Morning trip into town all done , turned out to be a nice clear and sunny winters day. Just enough to time for a early afternoon walk before it's time to get going for the last appointment of week.

New to me office chair weighs a ton
Morning hot chocolate went down well a bit later than normal

Solar panels are exporting

Used to have a nice market. Back in the say....

Still does have a market but not on Tuesdays Thursdays and Sundays which probably explains the Skipton office meeting on a Thursday.
Presumably it has been affected by the arrival over the years of Aldi, Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Tesco ; no doubt Lidl is looking to be there as well

It's turned out out be a fairly sunny and not too windy day. If I'd known this earlier I'd have got myself going earlier and done what I was going to do on Wednesday before the A14 problems. Instead I've booked some rail tickets and a bike reservation for Monday to give myself a couple of options. This gave me an excuse to go out for a decent 50k ride to get the tickets printed out!

A large coffee has just been had and a snooze will possibly follow.
