Has remained 4° and gloomy. Another little walk from the house. This is Poet’s Glen.

But then, if you consume too much of pretty much anything, it can have a seriously detrimental effect on your health.

Now this is true, moderation in all things is the way to go

Dear God it was cold on the bike. Apparently the village, the Ribble Valley and all points east have been bright and sunny..........

...........so we headed north and west. About two miles in to the ride we encountered fog and mist. This lasted for 12-15 miles. Freezing, absolutely bloody freezing. Still sun came out as we emerged from the cafe.

Its been misty murky and cold here all day, we had a house full this morning and I've spent most of the afternoon fettling my fixed.

I'm not a fan of liquorice

I have finally found one of your 'food' dislikes that I agree with... I tried it once and spat it out!

I'm still not feeling energetic enough for cycling, but I wouldn't have bothered anyway today. We have been bathed in that cold mist for 24 hours now! The narrow valleys really seem to channel the mist and stop the wind blowing it away.

Flu and booster jabs tomorrow, a few days (hopefully!) for any soreness/side effects to go away, then a few days of Christmas/NY festering.

After that it will be a launch into 2022, a pension, and a new life with spending money! After several years scraping by on ~£9k/year, it will feel like luxury having £13-14k! Being able to buy a new tyre for my bike without spending several hours trying to save £2, or hopping on a train with my bike and not worrying that the fare is £25 - super!

It is nice and warm here at 1C but alas the wind is 29 mph with some serious gusts so I think riding is a little iffy. I may go for a walk, though. It will get windier, later.
I will be making some quarts of spaghetti sauce later, using store bought marinara sauce, crushed tomatoes, fresh garlic, mushrooms and onions and 2 lbs each of ground round and hot Italian sausage. The aged pooch loves this 'cause she knows l will cook up some ground round for her and dole out a bit each day on her canned food. There is a guy here who bakes every few weeks to order, making scones, and bread of various sorts. We will get a fresh baguette today, among other things, and that, along with pasta and a little salad of Romaine, cuke and hothouse tomatoes will be our supper. Tis humble fare, but one of my faves.
A tad of bike tinkering and similar projects, along with a little leg work should fill the day.
Be safe and well and drop by if you are in the neighborhood.....we will keep a light on for you.
