Big mistake putting a thinner jacket on this morning. Was frozen the entire walk, even uphill. Cuddling my bowl of porridge now before I eat it.

Which one is Judas

Ah, another opportunity to post one of my favourite jokes.

Peter arrives at the last supper to find everyone tucking in to a lavish spread, exotic foods and an apparently unlimited supply of drink.
Peter turns to John and says " This lot must have cost a fortune, how could we afford it ?" to which John replies " Judas paid for the lot, apparently he's come into some money "

Good morning all fellow virus dodgers.
Nice and bright at the moment, but the possibility of rain beckons this afternoon.
The usual dog walking to be done, across the fields and up to the vets to pick up a couple of months worth of pills for said mutt.
This afternoon off up to a pub in St.Ippolits to meet a couple of friends for an outdoor drink and something to eat.
Stay safe everyone

Noticed this this morning. Wasn't there the other day. Some poor soul must have buried their dog or its ashes there. It's a lovely spot. I remember talking to someone a few months back with a dog called Digger. Wonder if that was it.

There seems to be 1 case of the SA version, no not Sturmey Archer, nearby in Finchley, 3 miles away so mass testing taking place in N3 postcode areas.

Cases still coming down in my area though. Only104 new cases last week in the borough, down 19 on the previous week.

I think I may be suffering Long vaccine side effects syndrome. I had my first Covid jab 10 weeks ago followed by side effects , this Tuesday and Wednesday I had periods feeling very cold with very intense shivering and then followed by feeling I was in a sauna. This was accompanied by loss of appetite aching limbs and feeling generally knackered. I know it’s weird and I should stop whinging .

JCB you mean? Lol. My dad had a few of them over his working years. Think I remember him telling me it was the original man's initials that produced them they first started. Joseph C Bamford or something.

Apart form being unwell today I'm Nicholas, went to get a clean pair and there none
I have four options :-
Go commando
Drive 4 miles into town and buy some more, but I have loads at home and don't need any more
Drive home 16 miles and pick some up
or wash them, but I can't find any washing powder/liquid so I'll have to use shower gel and dry them on the radiator.
