Morning all

Looks like we might have a half decent day today.
Off to Wistlandpound reservoir for a walk this morning. Going to check how much it's filled up in the last month.

I have a sore bum cheek.
I bed last night, I was fast asleep and MrsD decided to upchuck
So, half asleep I ran to get what was needed, only to slip and land on my aris.
Better than falling off a chair but it still hurts

Did the riverside trail but it was still tricky underfoot in bits where all the trampled snow had got rained on and was a bit slippy here and there. Hopefully another mild day will clear it.

Late breakfast this morning.

It is sunny and breezy here, so I have put my washing outside to dry.

Good day and a beautiful one here in Lancashire. I should be on my bike!

All my symptoms have gone bar a slight cough. Mrs P now has my symptoms and tested positive earlier this morning. Quite what this means for Christmas celebrations I don't know. For the moment I'm keeping my head down. Damn this virus.

I've got one lot on the line and one lot on the clothes horse.

It looked like it was going to rain, or snow so I ran out and got my washing in. It's 90% dry so hoorah. I am a happy 🐰

Car battery checked out OK, fella at the garage reckons it just needs a good long run, Cars not getting used enough, to many short stop start trips.

Same problem here. My runs are just a few miles so I need to take it for a 10 miler every week or so.

Tomorrow is the shortest day of the year 2022.

getting annoying now
According to the Met Office is should be a rain free day
According to weather radar there is no rain coming

SO I decided to use today to go out on a short circular route - probably a few times - to discharge the folding ebike totally and see if it will charge properly afterwards (problems documented on other threads)

so far I have gone out THREE time - each time after observing a lack of rain and checking on weather sites - and unlocked the main ebike so I can get the folder out

and as soon as I get the main bike out of the shed
then it has started raining

THREE TIMES!!!!

I thought it was just me this happened to. I swear I am a rain magnet.
