Morning all. Hospital appointment this morning. Going to have an Endoscopy, so that means no breakfast and I'm Hank Marvin!

Euky yuk yuk.
Hope all goes well.

Morning all
House sorted, last nights dishes sorted, cuppa char made for MrsD and a coffee for me.
Last night I was given formal notice by SWMBO that we are getting the bus to town. Right now she looks like she would rather go back to bed.......mmm we shall see.

Off out to buy a dishwasher.

Shopping done.
Managed to slip into Latitude 48 for a swift pint of GT Ales Oatmeal Stout.
Brewed locally just down the road from me, and at £3 a pint it seemed churlish to turn it down.

BT are refunding me £57 as I had overpaid when I left.

Parking wars broken out in earnest. Parking in evening has always been tight but there has always been neighbourly cooperation. The detested holiday home which backs on to our street has tourists who cannot be bothered parking at the front where their parking area is and parked two cars here last night. My car was not out so no problem for me. Three neighbours could not get parked safely and had to use the carriageway which is a bit narrow so not at all pleased and this is only January. It will only get worse when the main tourist season starts. The first person to see them is to have stern words preferably with mainly four letters.

Good afternoon - A quiet day with time to spare for a change. I might watch a film soon. I slept for 7 hours last night. Most unusual for me. I wish I could do that every night.

7 hours of sleep is good for me, too. Damn the bladder! I do like little naps during the day but I've learned they are best if I'm not driving.

The new dishwasher is plumbed in and working, but better than that I have found the impact driver I was looking for yesterday, it was on the dining room table which at the moment is in the lounge due to ongoing decorating of the dining room, it was in fact hiding behind a vase full of flowers. I thought I was going to have to ask Drago to come look for it.

I had every intention of going for a ride today as the weather was perfect but I got up late, took Molly for a long walk up the mountain in Sychnant Pass ( beautiful view from up there) , washed the car and a few other jobs so by the time I finished, it is now getting dark so , no ride.
I saw two cyclists going up the Pass so chapeau to them as it is very steep.
Rain is forecasted tomorrow so the bike won't be going out.

So how does that work then? On my way back from shopping yesterday I called in at the doctors and made an appointment for the doctor to have a look at my back and hips, they've been giving me serious grief for a couple of months now, today I've had the best day I've had for weeks, very little pain and I'm a lot more mobile.

It's magic.

We had a power cut earlier, lasted about half an hour, I'd just finished the ironing and was having a cuppa before putting the ironing away and the lights went out, we ended up drinking our by candle light.
