I'm on a day off. I've just had a bacon sarnie. It's snowing (although less so than at 8am!) and I'm contemplating going out to ski in falling snow for the first time in about ten years!!

I just don't - lack of visibility, lack of confidence and lack of skill. But, I've worked hard on the last two, so best see if I can deal with the first now!! :lol: :lol:

Waiting for tonight’s engineering work to go out, tonight I’m turning off the southern half of the Brighton mainline.

Whilst waiting for this I’m watching the USAF spying/baiting the Russians around the edge of Ukraine. The S-400’s they’ve got stationed in Belarus could make short work of it and they’ve probably been watching it since it took off from Greece

Back from taking my first wedding. They are happily married now! May it last! I've had my G&T and am relaxing in the quiet glow of accomplishment!

Feeling bit sad as I found out this morning a work colleague died last night, he was a genuinely nice guy and we spoke to him yesterday.
