Good morning all. I finally fell out of bed. It was warmer there.
Very dark and wet here. We had a lot of rain overnight.
Stay safe folks.

Mornin' All. 'Tis lashing down horizontally and vertically, hopefully the windows won't shatter. Blowing a hoolie as well.
No plans but will build fire, find a crap film on Netflix and do the ironing. Then some cycle club admin and search the web for a winter jacket. No 3 is starting commuting in January so this will be his Christmas. This may take a while as it needs to be warm, waterproof and highly visible. Suggestions welcome, if it was for me easy to find but commuting is a touch different.
On my trip to the LBS yesterday I passed several signs directing people to "Vaccine Parking Centre." Some were on motorway exits. I'm wondering if Witton Park, Blackburn is going to be used as a huge centre rather than many smaller ones? I expected to go to my GP.

The Proviz stuff is great for being highly visible but is a bit boil in the bag. It's hard getting that perfect combination of warm, waterproof and still reasonably breathable.

He will be doing six miles each way. I've found four quiet miles for him but at the moment two are on a wide but busy road.
He'll be on a hybrid and I think it will take him 25-30 minutes. Do you think he'd boil in the bag under those circumstances? It's a bit different from what you or I would do.
Exercises then ironing.

According to our doctor the vacccine centre is about 20 miles away, 2 buses each way that do not connect well either, fine for us with cars.
Good Morning fellow retirees,
Happy Birthday, and many more of them to @dave r , and well done to Mo with her "True Grit" in battling the elements.
Drizzly day today, I'm heading off on a Postie round to deliver Christmas cards to our friends who live locally.
A friend dropped off some essential supplies from Eight Arch Brewery on Friday 🍺 😀
Mrs Tenkay has a problem with a hip flexor so no running for a while, walking is ok so we can have anose around amble around the local neighbourhood.
We have names for the various people who regularly pass the house, the names are all affectionate ( there's the "VanMan" who drives his little van to the shops several times a day, the shop being a five minute walk away ) The "cat lady" who walks past carrying her Cat, her elderly father lives a few doors away and we see the cat walk past our house towards her dads place followed a few minutes later by "cat lady" who carries her back home only for the cat to return a short while later, rinse and repeat throughout the day.
Have a peaceful day folks 👍

Good Morning All, dry for the moment but rain forecast. A bit of a sofa day I think.
Enjoyed Professor Alice’s programme on Georgian Edinburgh last night. Before the virus I’d started spending a few hours every week as a volunteer guide at St Giles Cathedral. It was good being able to share bits of Edinburgh history with visitors. Hoping I’ll be able to go back to it sometime.
