The chap from the local carpet / flooring shop did an excellent job on our bathroom floor. Packed out the uneven bits where a small area of floorboards had been previously replaced with the modern metric equivalent, before laying ply over the whole floor and then the vinyl.
A charming guy with that ageing hippy look, chatting with him after the job was finished he turned out to be an opera aficionado and classical music buff. Next project is to make a bath panel out of tongue and groove then that's done and dusted.
Meanwhile the weather is a tad grim, though having recently watched the documentary " Endurance " I shall gird my loins and face the elements on today's run😁

Morning all, minus 5 here I really need to get out of this nice warm bed and get on with what could be a busy day.

-2.5 here today.

If her car doesn't break down again I got a visit from my Mum today.

Not much planned for today. Tidying up then pottering for me.

It's not supposed to get more than 4 deg here today

Good morning all.
There's a heavy frost outside, it's -3⁰, and only going to get up to about 4⁰.
I'll take Millie out, she doesn't mind the cold.
I've got some errands to later on, so I'll wrap up and get the bike out.

I’m not long back from a 5K shuffle. The legs are feeling heavy just now. Don’t know if it’s lack of running fitness or the cold weather. Still enjoyed it though.

At least I got slightly faster each mile. It’s something I suppose.

Salut. We have snow today.
Last night, hailstones were hammering on the roof and Molly was scared so she got into bed with us.

Morning all

Nothing planned today.
I'm expecting a parcel, so that will be the highlight of the day.

My weather forecast is not good. One new feature ( or something that I've only just noticed is the " Liquid equivalent precipitation " for sleet / snow.

I got my Oodie yesterday. Stuck it on just now. What a difference it makes. It comes well below my knees when I’m sitting and keeps me nice and cosy.

Good morning all, cold and windy here. Staying dry for now.

A few random facts about Dunfermline. It’s abbey was founded by Queen, later Saint, Margaret, the Saxon queen of Malcolm III. She was also buried there. Most of Robert the Bruce is also buried there. Charles I was born there, the last Scottish or UK monarch to have been born in Scotland. It’s most famous son is Andrew Carnegie who made a huge fortune in America and donated large parts of it to good causes. Hence the Carnegie Hall in New York and its namesake in Dunfermline.
