A few chilly nights to come

I just saw my pal to the bus station and called in at Aldi for milk, having forgotten to buy any at lunchtime. The staff were out gritting the steps and ramps to the front of the store. It does feel chilly, but not freezing (yet?). (The forecast is for temperatures to drop to 2 degrees C at 05:00 so I suppose it is a wise precaution.)

You can nip out and check before you go to bed.
Mo can report back later.

If I remember, I'll check the ice detector... (jar of water on the window sill)!

Is the jar inside or outside?

I just checked the nomenclature... Apparently, it is a common mistake to call the inside ledge of a window the 'sill'. It is actually the 'stool'. The sill is the outside ledge. So - my jar is outside the window!

You need to be careful of stools on your windows.

Morning. Minus 1 so not quite as cold as forecast. Perfect for a brisk walk after my coffee.

Good morning all.
It appears to be a tad cool outside at the moment. Time for another cup of tea in bed with Tony Blackbum on the the radio.

Wordle in 4

I need some fresh fruit and vegetables from the local grocers, and then I am going to the supermarket to buy tinned goods to send to Poland for the Ukrainian refugees.
My friends wife is Ukrainian and her son and family are trapped at the moment , but she and another woman are working with others to send lorry loads of supplies to Poland.

Enjoy your day everyone

Morning all from a sunny Minehead

Our wedding anniversary today. 42 years although we lived together for 3 years before we got married, so its basically 45 years near as dammit.
New tablet gets delivered today. Just as well as this one took 5 attempts to fire up and then it's frozen twice and had to be force restarted in the middle of this post.

Good morning all, cold and sunny here.
Still no Pressreader service, been offline since Wednesday. This morning they’ve put out a statement that it has been a cyber attack. Mmm, who would be wanting to take offline a Western news service at this time I wonder ? 🤔
