Good morning everyone.

Hard to know what to make over the weather. Hard frost is still down, sky is completely clear yet stood in the backyard in my dressing gown it feels mild. Stuck my Wahoo outside for ten minutes - it says 8C.

A touch more shirt design shortly, housework, clean car. I may start cleaning out the kitchen cupboards - Mrs P wants the kitchen decorated** before Christmas which sadly means a deep clean first.

** Mrs P is still choosing colours so we are possibly talking Christmas 2019.

Lit the woodburner at 6.20 - my personal backstop for today.

Phone rings. Nice gentleman tells me for the last few days BT have monitored problems with my internet connection.

Are you near your router?
Me: Yes.
How many lights are flashing?
Me: 37
And what colour are these lights?
Me: green, pink, orange, red, purple, yellow, mauve, sky blue.....

Line went dead. Enjoyed that one.

I have never been able to do that.......sadly once I wake up I just dont enjoy lying in (unless Im not well of course).

Me too though ocassionally with a good book. Mrs P has just got up and is now eating boiled eggs and watching Homes Under the Hammer. Always seems a waste to me......

Anyway have tidied, made game and dumpling casserole, sorted kit design.

Change beds and housework after this coffee. Investigating the chest freezer in garage suggests tomorrow may be a yellow label challenge and batch soup day.

Dull, Famp and Foggy here. The weather is emulating the climate inside my Y fronts.

Off to the docs soon for a sub acromial cortisone injection. Having a needle rammed right into my shoulder joint isn't something I've been looking forward to.
They the local copies of Last of the Summer Wine!
