Quite obvious really. If the poo wasn't in a bag it would make a real mess.Who would ever put a dog poo bag in their pocket in the first place!!!!

Many years ago when Mrs JK and I lived in Flat , our bedroom window over looked the car park . I was on night shift so sleeping in the morning .I heard the door bell followed by Mrs JK coming into bedroom ,Neighbour wanted to borrow hammer . I sorted out 2 hammers for him and went back to bed .Didn't your parents give you going up/down flights of stairs lessons? It should be a fluid walking motion not sounding like training for the triple jump - run, thump, thump, pause, scoosh!
Ah, they are back. With a new scraper. And drill. And... hammer. And, er, an electric screwdriver?
And a loud conversation.
And a barking dog.
The drill has now had its hammer action turned on.
OFFS - I am getting up!!!!!
A short time later from the car park , tap-tap-tap …..Bang-Bang- Bang . Yes my neighbour was repairing his car and keeping me awake with my tools.

I thought it had but it fooled me and didn’t even have waterproofs on. Soaked to the skin so peeled everything off and put the pj’s on.It's stopped
If it freezes overnight as per forecast it will be an ice rink so won’t be venturing out first thing.

It was peeing down here for hours here, then I thought it was going to stop so I started to get my boots on. I heard a clattering sound outside - hail - ha!It's stopped
I looked across the valley though and could see blue sky so I carried on getting ready and the sky cleared here too 5 minutes later. I did a quick powerwalk to the station and picked up my Metro and got back without the weather getting me.
I was right about the naps... I have taken 2 hours to do the crosswords because I fell asleep after nearly every clue. I finally feel half awake!
If you have Netflix, like unusual films, and admire the acting of Benedict Cumberbatch, consider watching Power of the Dog. I watched it with my pal last night and we both enjoyed it.
I was going to post the Netflix trailer for it, but (as usual!) that shows a bit too much of the film and gives away things that should unfold naturally. Watch the film without watching the trailer or reading anything about it. Note though - it isn't your typical western, and it isn't an action film. More a case of atmosphere and brooding tension... I won't say any more about it. See what you think.
Don't forget - if you watch it and want to comment, put the comments in a spoiler block.

do take photos as you go along and post them either here or on the Folding Bike sub forum. I’m sort of tempted and my legs are also 72 😁Morning all... Confession time....I've signed up for a Swytch for the Brompton, it's alright on the big bikes but these hills in north London are a bit too much on the Brompton for my 72 year old legs

Hmmmmm........I see you lot have been talking shite all day...... literally! 😄
Xbox updated. Fifa 2022 partially installed and then "Fifa 2022 requires an update" so I go to update Fifa 2022 "Sorry our servers are not available at present" FML FML FML! I will go back and try again tonight.
Get home in time to watch electricity company unloading very large mobile generator. We've had an outage which is expected to take 2-3 days to fix.
I now have to trundle round the house resetting everything which runs off the leccy.

I was thinking that they should have been doing that for the poor souls further north who have been cut off for over a week. Either that, or put them all up in hotels until the power is finally restored!

-13C this morning, and there is some frozen stuff on the street. It will get up to 3C or so and there will be a chInook this afternoon. If I can get some mittens on a ride could be had. It will be Quiche Lorraine today as the turkey soup was last night.
Reminds me of a story about Dubya and Cheney who went for breakfast to a diner. Cheney orders waffles, bacon znd 2 eggs over easy. Dubya tells the waitress he would like a quickie and gets his face slapped. Cheney says "Dubya, how many times do I have to tell you that word is pronounced keesh"?
Be safe and well.
