Coooooeeee. -2 here and a hard frost.

Stay safe peeps

Good morning. Another hard frost and a bright and beautiful day. Hopefully it will be warm enough for some allotment work this afternoon. Rovers are at home with a 12.30 KO. Things are not good at my football club. See The Football thread if you're interested.

A lunchtime KO suits me as it leaves just enough time to get my Cervelo out for a pre-season clean.

This morning I'm very unhappy with the world. EDITED by me. Apologies.

Morning all

Another bright and sunny day in store.
This morning I will be attempting to remove the last seized screw out of the Bantam crankcase. It's chewed up and in an awkward place, next to a thin piece of casting. Hopefully, I can remove it without wrecking the cases. Might be a long job!
It's nice to have something to tinker with.

Was -1.5°C here and a solid frost.

Bruce walked and spent a good 15 minutes flatmojt chasing his ball. I'm sat with a coffee and oaty bar and I'll feed him in a bit when he's cooled off.

These deep chested dogs can suffer twisted stomachs if food and exercise are too close, and it's not a nice way to go so he won't get his grub for another hour.

It's now -1 here and still really frosty
I have finished a load of washing and will put it out as soon as it warms up a but
Blue skies and sunshine here for us.

Obviously I know nothing about your finance but as you know I pay for a cleaner. 2 hours every Friday and she blitzes the place. She does all the things I hate doing. 30 quid for 2 hours, money well spent imo.

30 x 52 = 1560

Does Daves cleaner wear a French Maid's outfit as she does her rounds?

Looks cold out - frost first thing (i.e. about 8!)

not even opened the doors yet

apparently I am taking SWMBO to the "beauty" place for a thingy and a whatsit - I think there was something about eyebrows
mine get done in about 2 seconds when I get my hair cut - but this seems more complicated
for $reasons

anyway - I am being allowed to go down the high street and buy a box of vape fluid while she is in there
which might involve a coffee shop it they are still open after 4!
(BTW - she is the one that vape - not me - but I get the honour of buying the stuff so I don;t feel left out!)

Prospectus arrived today...I think international relations, something totally different to anything I've done before.

if the with the Open University?
or are there other options nowadays??

I'll go with the OU. Been through them already so I know the crack, and their HQ is only 15 miles away so accessible for lectures, tutor groups,etc.

However, plenty of Unis run remote courses with little need for a physical attendance.

I have risen!

Mrs D's car going in for new tyres, then a trip to the garden centre.

Why's the car having a trip to a garden centre?

She is normally naked.
I have asked her not to be but sadly she insists
