To you, my son, I offer a one off discount. This is a very limited offer

Sold! I'll take three....

Morning. Given it’s 5.15 I’m not surprised I’m first.

Another cold but dry day.

 

[Dirk]

Morning all

2nd!

I've been up a while, considering fancy dress parkrun this morning 🎅🏻

Morning all.
Some FOC happiness for you all.
I was up at 0600. I was going to do an 0800 Aldi dash but I got warm and cozy in the conservatory....listening to SoTS. Now Aldi doesn't seem so important......I may wander round to the Spar later.

Go for it!

Wish I was up to these things but only managed a very pathetic 11.50 minute miles for 4.2 miles this morning. Admittedly I was trying to take it relatively easy, but doubt I could have gone much faster. Lol

Good morning all, awake since four, rolled over in my sleep and ended up laying on my dud hip, and it woke me up complaining because it don't like me laying on it, carer was here just after seven, my Good Lady was still asleep, which is good, if she is here later I have to help the lady out of bed onto the commode, empty it when she's finished, before organising breakfast tablets and a cuppa.

Good morning all, dawning bright and frosty here.

Off down to Tesco this morning. MrsD wants to do some last minute Christmas shopping. Gawd knows why - we don't do anything different at Christmas. When we get there, she'll complain about all the folk rushing around doing last minute Christmas shopping!

I've been listening to Runrig since @Flick of the Elbow posted earlier 🎶
👍

Incidentally, did you know that Rory from Runrig was a keen runner ? He was a member of (the legendary) HBT club. (Hunters Bog Trotters, named after a patch on the slopes of Arthur’s Seat). Back when I was running 15 years ago he and his wife were regulars at cross country and hill races, his wife often winning her category.

Morning. Cool but calm, no mist and no rain for yet another say.

Stay safe peeps

I thought LED light bulbs were supposed to last for years? Kitchen one went a few weeks ago and the hall one has gone this morning. They were decent makes too, not Chinese cheapos.

We've got one out in our bathroom. It's a flush 3 LED downlighter.
It's taken a week to source one and costing £60 to replace!

Planning my viewing for the weekend, first day of the Christmas Radio Times, the official start of Christmas
