Less cold rather windy
Managed a hound walk and a little run, work stuff now followed by a run in the hills later if the weather is kind0 -
Mornin'. WFW. Up early as was going to ride in. Forecast of storm John Wayne Bobbitt decided for me to take the car. In work 40 mins early which translates to at least an hour's early depart. Quick snooze before the office minions arrive. Win-win.
Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

Early finish planned to go shopping for last minute holiday (not to Corfu) bits.
This also means dinner out!

WFH as I've got my pensions/financial bloke coming round for the annual chat. Gardening bloke is busy planting some Laurels for Mrs. 666 up the top end of the garden. Other than that, dealing with the usual idiocy from overseas."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0

Mrs P has a Solomon jacket. It gets washed periodically and then re-'waxed' with Nikwax which is very easy to use.seanoconn said:
You can use this or the spray variety:

if it is really THAT bad I'd handwash it in the bath using some Nikwax Tech Wash stuff and allow it to dry thoroughly before using some Barbour wax from

It's Wednesday, I'll be going to a pub shortly.
Had to drop the old dear's car back to hers after work, 50 minutes to do a little over 3 miles. Dumped the car and got on my pub hack. Back home in 10 minutes in spite of wind and rain.0
