Think it was the choice of that or Sound of Music so I haven’t put it on! I’ll stick it on at 6.35 for the news then Countryfile.

Yes indeed but it appears they may be trying to get out of them asap !!

The Heroes of Telemark, Sound of Music and Black Narcissus, I can now see why I haven't got a TV

Good Lord, it must be Christmas.

I did 26 miles today, six times round a local hilly loop. Partly my training plan but also staying very close to home in case the weather turned.......got back to the garage just as the hail came down.

Mrs P is watching Pride and Prejudice.......it's the version she hates. I don't think I will ever understand women.

I find that hard to argue with........

Not a bad day weatherwise and I forced myself out for a stagger along the street.
Met somebody known to me as "The Welsh Joiner" and we had a natter in passing. He bemoaned the deer forever destroying the flowers in the local cemetery. Even artificial ones get destroyed.. His wife died recently with Parkinson's very similar to my wife so we compared notes and complaints.
The use of nicknames seems to have vanished and any of the recent settlers would have no idea who I was talking about when referring to him. He is Welsh and must have been a joiner at one time tho' I knew him as working for forestry. He has been here nearly as long as myself and it surprised me to find he is 2 years older than I am.
With many here with the same surname nicknames were essential to distinguish the various family branches which is also common in Lewis. Nobody has ever been able to explain why one family were known as the Bimbo MacAulays.

This weather is weird. The M6/M61/M65 converge about 3 miles from my house. Multiple crashes involving multiple vehicles reported in the area at around 4.00pm due to snow and ice forming rapidly. I've seen footage of snow laying on the M6. Nothing here.

The 23 drawers in my office are now nice and tidy, the bin, well that is very full, vat return done, letters written plus other odds and ends, in all a very productive day.

Went for a cool and damp ride and I am so glad I did. Guess I needed an endorphin fix and I certainly got one. World's a better place now.... sorry for my earlier kvetching.
You can kiss a nun once, and kiss a nun twice, but you shouldn't get into the habit.

Cheers screenman ,for making me feel inadequate and that I’ve wasted my day .........
