Hybrid commute which was damp and nippy.
Dogging car park was busy this morning.0 -
Bit drizzly grey cold here.
Might prod OH to get some mince pies and that thought is all SG's fault so I shall send him the bill.
Now let me see, 1 London is the Duke of Wellington's address* so it must be number 2.

Slippy slidy
SunMonday. The Valley is frozen. That covering of wet snow last night has frozen solid, black ice, white ice, grey ice. Just dropped off the hire car, as I'm walking back this teen schoolgirl beside me does the full cartoon style legs flailing and down, she was fine. Then a teen lad tries to ride his bike round a 90 degree corner covered in black ice. Again he was fine. These kidz just bounce.
Potter day, sort stuff out. Go collect the graveller from LBS, got it serviced while I was away for the weekend.0 -

'Dogging car park'! Surely not at this time of day or was it dog walkers? That's terrible, atrocious behaviour the evil sinners.
Where is this car park?0 -

Cars were frosted up so didn't seem to be much action going on when I arrived.

Freezing cold, bad traffic and a school run for me.
Was quite amusing watching a BMW X5 skid about whilst in 4x4 mode, my L200 coped admirably.
Site meeting this morning so just waiting for the traffic to clear.Advocate of disc brakes.0 -

See yesterday's report.
Slight annoyance, got bitten by couple of big angry ants. Just to remind them that they should not be so snarky... I gave them a 1,000 rpm ride on the whipper-snipper string line into oblivion.

Busy morning and took a while to get the home office up to temperature even with 2 wall mounted electric heaters and heater fan. Nice and toasty now, next step is to get a kettle in here to save popping up to the house to get a cuppa."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered."

Morning. WFW today. Decided to take the car instead of riding as it was -2.5 C and our side roads are not gritted. Nice to have Winter tyres. Gave myself a nosebleed by ramming LFT bud too far up my nose this morning. At least it's very toasty in my office and saves having heating on at home. (yes, I'm a tight git!)
Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

today
Brassic here, floating about -1 currently had the eco hippies banging on the door earlier telling me off for burning coal. I politely informed them I was burning seasoned wood which got them equally annoyed they left a sticker on my door to match everyone elses on the road so no one felt left out. They did ironically drive off in some tatty old van which spewed more smoke than a destroyer laying a smoke screen so I informed the local plod on that one.
Anyway, I was going to faff around in the garage but its colder than a nuns proverbials outside an trying to set a bandsaw blade in the cold is not the smartest thing to do probably so I shall sit indoors an sample mince pies.0 -

I've been keeping an eye out from on high for Eco-hippies - they wouldn't like me very much, what with Panzer and oil fired CH.

Evening folks,
Busy day in the orifice, managed to wobble there and back but it was more than a bit fresh. Nice and sunny on the way in at least.
Are you in your ivory tower there Stevo 🤣0 -
For 'burbs, it looks alright.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0

Looks lovely, but not going to let that stop me extracting urine. Is it 'burbs or commuter belt village life? Old place was what I'd consider suburban, new mansion is further out isn't it?0

Cheers matey. You can also see the man cave and the Panzer down below. Gradient on the drive up to the front door will be good fun when it's snowy/icy - 1 in 4 and no stopping room once you're on the flat bit. Will be a bit like that scene from the Italian Job where they're trying trying to get the Minis in the back of the bustlw1 said:
