Nothing on the box tonight so I am listening to Enya while browsing and playing games.
I do like Enya, haunting but only for a relatively brief period before it becomes a bit “ samey “ for me.
I was listening to Buffy St Marie yesterday and thought how prescient she was. “ The Big Ones Get Away “ sums up how it once was and still is.

I couldnt find anything either
trouble is ive got nothing else to do so will trawl the channels and settle on the least boring/brain damaging and vegetate in front of that until my eyes glaze over.... I like writing but only when inspired, used to like chess...but cant be r'sed 
i know! i'll go for a naked streak around the block...

I couldn't stop myself... I had a look on eBay just now and found them for £17.95 with free p&p!For the past few years I have had to be incredibly tight with cash so I would have nursed the shoes back to my house and then spent days on ebay and Amazon trying to find some cheap but acceptable footwear. I am only weeks away from my pension now so I can afford to relax a little financially. I looked to my right and spotted a little old man shivering at his market stall which sold... footwear! Blow it - life's too short... I walked over and pointed at the first pair of trainers. He didn't have them in my size. The ones next to them looked ok and he DID have those in my size. I tried one on. Yeah, a comfortable fit. How much? £40. [I thought it was a bit steep and I could probably get them for £20 elsewhere, but I wanted to just buy the things and have done with it.] Okay, back to the cash machine that I had just passed...
From stumbling, to walking off with new trainers, about 5 minutes. Ah, so that's the way that people with money live!

Morning. Cold and wet. I can’t make out if the roads and pavements look icy or not. Look a bit suspect looking out the window. It’ll be a slow and careful walk if it is.

Oh well, that confirms it. A post on our local page from a woman saying there’s black ice on roads and pavements. I’m not risking it.

I just get the occasional twinge, but have no desire to fall again this winter.I’m not happy, 7.05 Bing- Bong the DPD man

I should jump on the exercise bike but detest it. Should really get rid of it. It’s just taking up space if I’m not going to use it.
