Central heating on.

Raw, damp and windy outside. The forecast says it's 15C but it feels closer to 10C.

More emulsioning today, 3/4 done now. The weather has been so wet today, I think it is fair to say that I hav`nt been missing much. Certainly not a day for a casual ride but a good day for ducks ! Having said that, lunchtime we watched the blackbird have his usual bath at the usual time in the large plant saucer. It is not as if he could dry off afterwards.

Like @Shearwater Missile I'm decorating. First and second coats of paint on the walls. Light chocolate (Dulux's 'Malt Chocolate') on two walls and an expensive pink-ish paint (Farrow & Ball's 'Cinder Rose') on the other two. The irony is that the Malt Chocolate was previously on three of the walls, just not on one that SWMBO wanted it on

And my rear garden's currently full of Collared Doves, generally strutting around like they own the place and making a nuisance of themselves.

It is a good cycling area for me - I don't like hills.

Prefer lumpy, with any luck you can freewheel for a good proportion of the rife whereas flatter terrain equals near constant pedalling

Always happy having gone east into the Vale of York to see the road going up when heading back west as there will be a down grade following soon.

Rain on and off all day.

Just over half the afternoon spent in the office making use of a 3 hour free parking space for the car.

I was watching "Green Signals" this afternoon. The quiz question was "which mainline train journey involves travelling on the "up" line, then the "down" line, and then repeat this, without reversing. on a journey of less than ten miles?".

I immediately thought of Georgemas Junction to Wick and then back to Georgemas Junction, then to Thurso, and repeat. How can I find a timetable on line? If it is single track, does it count as up and down rather than changing track?

Yes, I have done that journey.

I am trying to remember if I kept the paper timetable from that train holiday err... last century?
