Definitely a tad blowy, I blame the beer. Nothing much going on today, mild Thursday hangover is in evidence. Off out for lunch with the Mrs later, the Italian deli has fritelle on the go this week.

Going to say hello to Doris today

Decided to be sensible today and avoided being blown all over the road on my bike. Wished I hadn't now. A slight breeze was enough to c@ck the trains up so currently on a slow moving bus. Homemade donut night tonight. Polish tradition instead of pancakes and on a Thursday. Don't ask me why.

My experiences of London buses is very limited.
Some years back we went to the Royal Albert Hall (The opera, don't you know). Arrived at Euston and not knowing London, asked at the information desk about the best way to get there. There followed a monologue about escalators, trains, changes etc until a bloke next to me said to catch the No12 outside and it would drop me off outside. :roll:
Part way through the journey, everyone alights and it is explained that we all have to get on the bus behind, as our driver is knocking off and going back to the depot. Anyway, on arrival at the RAH I help a lady off with a push chair. Some time later, I see the same lady, still at the bus stop. She explains that some of her family didn't change buses quickly enough and were taken all the way to the bus depot and she was waiting for them to be returned.
Couldn't help thinking that it would have been easier for the drivers to swap buses rather than all the passengers.

Her, smiles giggle blush fluster "thank you, you have a lovely Christmas too." smile giggle blush fluster."

Train arrives, me leaves watched by Starbucks girl.

A week later I'm on the same platform with my wife and kids. Starbucks girl not impressed

There's a man on here that knows a man that knows a man that can help with that sort of thing.

There's a bird sat on the wall of my neighbour's house, giving me the eye

First dry night ride in a while yesterday and I must say that being dry, although weighed down by layers and riding a bike without guards felt good.

Its hammering down today no no chance of replicating it and I'm missing out on a run with a trip to the pub after because the bloody cat needs a booster jab.

in the words of U2, a beautiful day, every fecker is hiding and so im not being bothered.

Grandad T47b wins the best post again, just avoid pissing off that bird mate. Seano's were just disappointed and didn't have a beak and talons to get revenge

Day summed up there.

Puffing about down here already an the news is harping on about snow apparently now, meant to get full fat Doris later 60-70mph winds, resistance training anyone?

Plant pot got blown over here. Should make the front page of the Cornish Guardian...

Or pot plants blown over grabs the attention of D&C Drugs squad.

All the cars are orange today!

Do I blame a certain orange man?

Why is the Sahara now relocated to my back garden?

I just had to get up on the roof (well I sent mrs T) to hose down the solar array, removed a centimetre of sand and I am now getting twice as much lecky

It was heading your way... Doris's lesser known brother Adnan (Arabic for settler!)

sungod

according to the map here, the orange hadn't reached your neck of the woods, but it was a few hours old

probably best to wait for sunset, see if it glows in the dark

Trees snapped an gone over right behind my car, luckily the wind snapped it in the other direction.

Captain Hound woke us up at ~5am whimpering because he had been woken up by the wind/rain. I was down in Penrith today meeting a totally ridiculous man with way too much money, the weather was on and off, nothing to report. We did see a lorry with sawn timber on the back on fire for which they had shut two lanes of the motorway this morning, amazed anything could burn in that torrential rain!

Just helped a woman in one of those ridiculously small Mercs out of the snow. She had no idea. Her young child was sucking on a brownish grey snowball. I told her that her daughter will probably have a sore tummy in the morninhg, she said "Oh! Is that what'll happen?"

City folk, what are they like eh!

I did the same and got to work bang on time

Pity I've been working my nuts off ever since but on the plus side I've managed a fair bit. Headed home soon to down a cider and pack my ski gear ready for tomorrow evening 8)

Its amazing how well guide dogs can communicate with their owners these days.

The best daily thread for a while. Good entertainment though I haven't got any energy, never mind creative energy, to add to it having been plaster boarding all day. I think, as it will be while for this phase to finish, i'll just refer to it as PBG. It's quicker and takes less effort.
