Never mind - I am sure that the sheets will have dried by tonight!Back to bed at 5.30 and slept till 7.50It's now damp and mild.
I used to really like the Concept 2 at the local gym. I hated going to the gym itself though - people everywhere!I went and let my mouse click on the buy button on a Concept 2 rower the other day
I have been feeling below par off and on since before Christmas. Headaches, sore throat, wheeziness etc. I will take another LFT later just to be sure that Omicron hasn't made an appearance.
Meanwhile, I am off the bike. I know from experience that pushing myself hard would result in me getting properly ill. I will just stroll to the station for a Metro and call in at Aldi instead. That will at least stretch my legs and get me some fresh air.
I finished reading The Late Show last night. I enjoyed it. It is the introduction to Michael Connelly's post-Bosch character, tough female LA detective Renee Ballard. I think I will go on to book 2 in which she gets together with Bosch. I can get it on digital loan from the library.

Done the cleaning, went for very short run (starting over, again !), listened to the news, of which I dare not comment ! Now for a quiet afternoon finishing of the Val McDermaid that I got from the library the other day

I am binge-watching Wire in the Blood, one episode a night. I never saw that when it was first televised.Done the cleaning, went for very short run (starting over, again !), listened to the news, of which I dare not comment !

What does the panel think about reading books which have been turned into films or TV series? I enjoyed Bosch on TV, but I know the plots now so maybe not read the books?
I am thinking of reading the Shetland novels rather than watching it on TV.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
We are having egg on toast today using the rest of the loaf from yesterday

I read the Bosch books before watching some of the episodes. Well worth a read and more depth of Bosch’s backstory and other ancillary threads.

Just back from a walk around the area. Glorious still day with bright sunshine and quite mild. I had to take my jacket off ☀️☀️
Paused to watch a couple of lads refreshing the white lines at a road junction, quite fascinating. They each had what looked like an oversized metal milk jug and were pouring the contents into a shallow metal box with a long metal handle while simultaneously sliding the box along the ground. I also saw another random item lying on the pavement, an individual chess piece, a black rook 🤔

Another good workout at yoga this morning, my fitness is improving, I enjoyed it, the first class back after Xmas wasn't much fun. Afterwards we went out for lunch, when I got back from Yoga I helped my Good Lady with the commode then helped her into her wheelchair and we hopped on a bus down to Jubilee Crescent for lunch at Jubilee Junction, a cafe we haven't used for about 12 months, a ham batch for my Good lady and egg on toast for me, the cafe has changed hands since we last used it and the new owners seem very nice, the food was good as well.

The paint is poured hot, cooling and hardening almost straight away.
They get too much paint into the container, they continue the line then come back with the black paint to form the gap. The paint wagon would have had two seperate boilers, Mild & Bitter/Mild & Stout to reflect this.
