I had a mixed night sleep plus some strange dreams.......mainly revolving around people I knew 50+ years ago.
Finally woke Fully at 0630.
My Bro and SiL are visiting from the Wirral and we are out for lunch at The Plough. They can both eat for England but sadly those days have gone for me (although appetite is better than it was).
They will have a  Dirk sorry, full roast whereas I will enjoy gammon and egg or similar.

Morning -0.2c I hope someone has put the heating on in the church

Just  pinch borrow a candle to wrap your hands around.

Morning all.
Its -1⁰ outside and a bit cloudy.
Our son is coming over today, so that probably means that lunch is on me.

@Mo19forgot to tell you I bought 2 of those "Yorkshire" soups from the Coop, one chicken n one veggie.......both very enjoyable. Half a pot with toast/crusty bread makes a good lunch.

It's a bit misty here now. Once you leave my house,xurs downhill to the village. It's in a valley and the river runs at the back of the few village homes then up steeply to the forest. Its in the valley part and river that the mist forms. Its moving slowly down the valley. I can't see the forest at the moment. Its quite odd to see it slowly moving along.

Morning folks managed a ride yesterday wearing thermals under my usual kit, even working hard on the hills didnt get me overheated or sweaty-its cold!
Have been informed theres fossils to be found at the north end of the beach so will have a wander today, i need one of those rock hammers to bash away at the strata
Having got stuck in my clips tuther day ive been revising my clip/pedal options dont want to come a cropper again and im not keen on being an unpaid public comedian!

Morning again. Shame the video didn't play. It was very impressive.

Chilly, hilly walk done. Not as clear today so everything looked a bit grey but pleasant enough for walking. A few others up the hill. Walkers, couple of runners and a guy struggling up on a mountain bike.

Porridge now.

 

[Paulus]

Porridge now.

You back inside HMP again Mo?

I have given in and stuck the living room storage heater on as we seem to be minus figures overnight and not much above freezing even during the day for the foreseeable. I'm in credit anyway so no point in being cold.

Didn't he say they'd gone green and are now using LED candles?
Not much heat from an LED, is there.
