Good morning. A beautiful bright clear morning and feckin' cold. Currently -3⁰C. There's a draught coming from somewhere and I can't track it down.

Mrs P is going curling today.......

Me? Minor bits and bobs around the house and I will have to get out to see the organisation which deals with my lad's care.

I was going to suggest curling mine then I realised you needed hair all over your head to get the desired result:tongue::tongue::tongue:

Cold chicken sarnies with mango chutney is good, spicy mango chutney is better.
Black pepper and salad cream also goes well.:hungry:

Pickled onions on the side.

Hello! :cold::cold::cold: in Lancashire. Frost hasn't lifted in four days now. Forecast for snow at Ewood on Saturday at 12.00....................guess what time we kick off? Preston North End tomorrow...................or as they are known by some.....Nobenders. Sorry. Purile but makes me smile.

Anyway. Today? I'll start ironing in a minute. Mrs P will appear and complain the house is cold. Sigh. Yeah, it's not roasting in the front room or kitchen but 17⁰ is OK - the CH seems to be struggling to raise the temperature so I've turned up the flow temperature. Backroom is toasty with the burner going. Proof read and corrected the u3a constitution earlier - eyes on stalks time. Lots of odds and sods to do; find a spare rear light as mine failed halfway through Monday's ride, find my flat cap before the footie, make some kindling (brrrrrr #shivers#), fix HR strap, pop to the post office............................you get the drift, not a lot of anything but all needs doing.

Just cancelled all the club rides for the weekend. Snow and high of +1⁰ Saturday and high of 0⁰ for Sunday. Can't risk it for anyone.

We have two posties who park their van outside our house and set off on their individual rounds. Paul the postie went to school with my eldest daughter, and his colleague has some quite impressive Tattoos on her legs. I ordered a voucher / greetings card online a week or so ago, it was to be sent second class so I wasn't too fussed that it hadn't yet arrived. Yesterday the letter containing the voucher dropped on the doormat. It was only when I was looking at the address that I noticed it consisted solely of my name and postcode, the postie had scribbled our house number in pencil underneath the label. Five stars for great service, but minus one star as she's now wearing long trousers whereas tough guy Paul is still in shorts.

The couple diagonally opposite me, the guy is a prison governor and his missus is a postie. Both got loads of leg tattoos too. She wears shorts all during the decent weather too.

Lovely walk done. It was dark when I left but by the time I got up the hill the sun was just about breaking over the horizon. Perfect walking weather.
