Only celebrating getting most of my yard mowed Martin and I hope that the weather will allow me to get my little front yard done before we endure a couple of more days of rain.

Cheers.

Winning on a P.O.E.T.S. Day morning as the sky brightens before sunrise occurs.

Time for a coffee.

Cheers.

And the low laying sun goes down...

And I'm back in the food desert...


And, yuck!

So... We called into a shack of a "Trade" cafe for lunch. It's won awards in the area it has... So... The waitress hadn't heard of "Vegetarian" and wasn't going to bother with such silliness at any time. What could possibly go wrong with bangers and mash or pie (with dubious innards) and peas?... I managed a cop-out with baked potato and (bits yanked outta tin) tuna and salad. The other greasy-joe offerings didn't appeal. The others just tucked into chips + whatever.

Onsite and... Some there really are unaware to even be able to speak coherently. Thankfully, they are one or two levels above 'every second word is an expletive'... But still hard work to usefully communicate with. Lots of time lost with people dreamlike lost wandering without any hint of enthusiasm... What pit of stagnation is this?!...

And... The people there are so unhealthy as to be unable to move easily. Which also means they immediately get grumpy about anything involving movement... I got some uncomfortable looks whilst (in comparison, gazelle-llike) breezing around and past them.

In short: Very difficult working.

And how can the food there be so unhealthy impoverished?!!

I'm doing the extra detour run tomorrow to get healthy provisions!


And we really do need better education all round.

Yes I could do with a 2nd coffee about now thanks Betreger. :-)

The sun has finally risen above the clouds off the coast and shining brightly down, I just hope that it dries the grass out front quickly so that I can quickly get that job out of the way this morning so that more normal Friday activities can be enjoyed. ;-)

The temp here today got off to an 11C (felt like 10C) start here while a windy 26C is expected before more rain and storms return.

Cheers.

The cloud is closing in again here as the mercury hits 25C (feels like 21C) and as soon as I parked the mower and was getting out of this week's yard gear visitors started to turn up.

But after a few beers I managed to get up to the pub for a pizza and 2 more beers and while the beers are history a few slices are about to follow them (well it should be cool enough by now to safely consume without burns). ;-)

Cheers.

Make sure that all your body parts make it back inside if you go out in that people-sicle weather.

Or you could wind up like this fellow. :-O

A world champion runner-up has sent a chilling warning about his sport after suffering the worst injury you can experience.

Keep them warm. ;-)

... Yes... And nose and toes and finger ends and ears and lips...

Nowhere near balaclava-freezing-to-your-face but certainly chilly outside yer fleece. This is where I do wonder about some of the others walking back from the pub across hills and fields and frozen streams... And there's a quirky dead spot around here where there are no usable mobile signals. Hopefully the "emergency only" boosted signal service really does work if needed...


Meanwhile, nicely thawed out with a pint of hot coffee and...

We have glorious sunshine. And an incredible thick frost that is resisting the sun's rays.

Enjoy!

The sun has set and the temperature has fallen from a mighty 2C to -1c in about 30 minutes. Clear sky so it's going to go down even further. I hope Martin has his furry whatiz on .

Winning on a dull Saturday morning in the highlands without any rain falling, but that could change yet.

Anyhow it's time to turn the jug on.

Cheers.

While here in the ancient capital of the Kingdom of Mercia it is freezing fog I know a place about ten miles away where it may be cold but the sun is shining...

Cloudy but reasonable, 52f rising to about 65f today. Didn't even turn on the heat this morning. The house is holding at a comfortable temp.
