Much the same here Pete.
Good morning all.
It's very cold, -5⁰C and quite frosty out there.
I had a new BT broadband hub delivered yesterday, I've just renewed my contract at a lower price, and they sent me a new hub. Today's task is to connect it up, easy, and then reset the hub pass code onto the telly and probably Alexa and the ring doorbell and camera. Just a bit time consuming and fiddly.
Other than that a domestics day. Too cold and slippery to go out on the bike. I might wrap up and do a turbo session in the man cave this afternoon though.
Enjoy your day everyone

Morning folks

Looking forward to seeing the garden again as its under 2ft of snow! Was wondering if i pour boiling water onto the bird bath to thaw it will that crack the concrete?

Drove Mrs D to work. Being blind in one eye she has no depth perception and with everything turned white she has no visual reference to guide her.

I think the media are joining the dots a bit too zealously there. Hes acted against one nation, ergo he'll pinch Greenland, seems a bit of a stretch to me.
But he is indeed a very orange and an eejut of the first water.

My back has eased. No workout today, but will probably be back at it tomorrow if this trajectory continues.

Luke warm from the tap should do, boiling might well crack it.

Good morning. There may have been a few snowflakes but mainly we have a very, very hard frost. The sky is brilliantly clear and the moon still very bright. A lovely sight.
Nothing very urgent today. I'm go to my LBS to discuss the new bike. I'll grab a walk, possibly quite soon, and the gym later. In between I have admin to catch up on and I need to move Mrs P's car.
A neighbour is having a lot of building work done. The only access is along our narrow "backs." He messaged the WhatsApp group last night at 9.20pm asking if we could move our cars. He's forgotten the demographic - mainly ready for bed by 9.00pm, get dressed around 10.00am. No one has complied!!!! 🤣
