Extra grey here this morning.
Trying to muster the will to get out of bed for a time trial this morning, which looks like it will be in the mist/fog.
Booster jab later. Rest of the day will depend on the weather.

Crap weather just down the road too.
Run needs to be run, wood needs to be sorted and I suppose I had better start thinking about getting the current wife some presents other than the ones she has bought herself.
Later will be ale but potentially not in the pub as we avoid the unclean0 -

Morning. I’m free!! Was going to go for a ride but, to be honest, I’m enjoying being in a proper bed again. And it’s cold and grey outside. Anyway, MOT this morning, let’s see if the sill damage has written the car off0

Sills are replaceable.
Very foggy. Very grey. Dark. Damn global tilt.
Only 2 days until the solstice then the light increases everyday -------------------------------------------------------------> until June.
Dunno wot today holds. Toots and Mrs P off to an early Flick at the cinema and i'm left holding the fort.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
They are but it’s a 2011 Renault scenic so is probably worth less than the cost of works needed to replace it. Still, might be lucky. If it passes, I’ll give it a bit of paint to keep any rust at bay and stop worrying about it. Got no choice but to drive it until it dies now!0

Bit damp and misty here but clearing now. Would have slept in for a bit longer if it wasn't for the dogs agitating to go out for a p1$$. Breakfast had, so we'll head out and walk them soon."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0

Well, it passed! That’s a relief. And it appears that I’ve driven 1700 miles this year.

Just had a mince pie, wandering into the local park soon for carols (and maybe Karens) so might investigate the spirits cupboard and dig out a hip flask.Advocate of disc brakes.0

If you need some speed I'm sure Slithy Gove will see you alright.
That was a nippy one. Misty all the way, maybe 100m visibility max but with all the haze, the droplets on the glasses etc got quite difficult at times to see the potholes. Still ride rided, tick. Some warming deep soup almost ready.
Suppose I'd better sort out The Tree.0 -
Misty walk until we got a bit higher

Nice that TLW.
When the girls were at the Cinema, I went for a jolly and up and over the bypass (barely 300m in height), I drove into briliant sunshine. We haven't had a drop of the bright stuff here today.
It was like looking down at the clouds from a plane.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

It was only a 10 and 30m10spinno said:
which put me well into the top 50%
Some triathlete decided to stick the anchors on 5m before the finish line then turn to chat to his mate, just as I was overtaking.
Not that I knew it was the finish line because there was no chequerboar and the timekeeper was sitting in a car where nobody could see him.

Hang on...
The physical orientation of the Spaniel in the middle ground strikes a deep chord in one's memory and fills me up with a reminiscence and a wave of emotion and serenity.
Is that better?
What it reminds me of, is going up Cairnsmore of fleet in late April, getting caught in a horizontal blizzard and trying to eat something quick in the lee of a Plaque to WW2 pilots. This, whilst mad keen chap was barking his socks off out of reach.
He was being impatient and wanted me to get a move on.
However, as the path was a white out, I told Brutus 'home' and he did take me down the hill except in a straight line. It was 'fun'.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0
