Good morning from a fourth floor hotel room in partially sunny Lincoln.

Coffee has been had and after a shower I'm off into town for breakfast and more coffee followed by trains from here to Retford, Leeds and finally Harrogate where my 61st cake day will be celebrated with more beer & food.

Happy belated Cake Day @Jenkins

Wondering how GB could have played so well in the round robin, finishing as top seed, and now they're playing so badly...

Still having fun with our new Finance System at work. Finally got sent a huge report with all the transactions on (we've not had any real reports so have been running blind). Anyway, literally five minutes of poking has found two major material errors. This is to do with receipting orders. Someone receipted £180k and not £1.8k on an order, then someone else has receipted an order 6 times, for £50k, meaning were something like £400k out. It appears to be coming from one Team, so we can at least find the culprit and get it fixed.

Can happen at times once the pressure is off teams start to think the jobs done. Once it sets in you've a hell of a job pulling it back.

Evening.
I have been a bit busy today. Putting away our suitcase, doing a bit more artwork and a bit of bike tinkering. We had a bit of sunshine this afternoon. It was grey but dry this morning but still really cold working outside on my bike. Ive had2 naps this afternoon.
Last night Georgie had us worried. He was very actively playing with my shoes. We thought that he had caught a mouse and had brought it in. Luckily it was his toy mousey. He enjoys putting things in my shoes and trying to get them out again.

Time to feed the cat, and then it will be time to feed me.

Motorola have been my go-to for many years.
Inexpensive, function and survive.
£100 with a £5 a month SIM card really can't go wrong.

We don't venture into town that much as i don't feel it's worth the experience unless we really need to

Can't see why dog's aren't allowed

The evening's hot chocolate has been had a little later than normal and using the last of the bottle of milk. I wasn't sure if it would last the weekend without turning, but all was well.

Lovely supper of turkey, fried potatoes, braised red cabbage and cranberry sauce.

Madam Boo had some turkey.

Hotel Danielle is very strict about alcohol. It took several hours of subtle persuasion to squeeze 170ml of white wine out of her.
