There's a big yellow thing in the sky! Scary!
Lots to do today, so I best get cracking.

As I threatened i went back to bed at 05.30 and got 3 hours in.
I should be good when I manage to wake up.

Bonjour. Up and nearly ready to hit the road again.
See you all in North Wales later.

 

[Drago]

Dogs walked. Forecast fair so will clean me van today.

5 mile wander done. I managed to do a trail that would have been too muddy lately but the frost had firmed it up. Very quiet most of the way round apart from a few runners near the end. A sunny day in prospect so the trails will get much busier later.

Scrambled eggs for breakfast.

Valentine's day...............
I have never had a Valentine's card in my life, sent quite a few.

Good morning. It's a glorious day in sunny Lancashire and forecast to hit 3⁰ by 12.00. I woke at 1.30 and couldn't sleep so got up and did stuff. By 8.00 I was ready for bed again and another two hours sleep.

Next is brunch and then I'm going to work on the allotment for the first time in weeks. It will be cold but clothes beat that but not soaking wet.

morning looks chilly out there
and was when I remembered I needed to go and retreive my wife's Valentine card from the car

all sorted now - off to wake her up in a few minutes!


she normally forgets - it is also her sister's birthday so she remembers that and forgets Valentine's day!!

although she has remembered a couple of times recently - but

Update - she didn;t forget

she remembered but didn;t bother

it is weird that I prefer it this way - I gave her flowers and chocolate
so I am in the right
and she knows I am like this so it doesnt matter

she did ask why I have come over all soppy!

Coal procured, wood sawn, wind turbine whizzing, solar panel being utilised today properly as sun is out and all is tidy.

Paul.
After reading one of your comments I called in to a Turkish barber to ask his prices.
I told him I would want..... haircut, shave, nose and ears sorted.
He looked blank and asked "do you mean wax your nose"? I told him I didn't know, I just wanted the hairs gone.
He said 25 pound.
He didn't fill me with confidence.
