Today I have fucked up my health insurance for my Spanish residency appointment tomorrow, I've managed to get it to start on Dec 1, it should be Nov 1. Trying to get out sorted out but it's not looking good.

I've sorted some garage stuff - just to move it to a different garage for the winter! And done some sorting at home, so looking more positive for space (eventually!)

And

It's been snowing on and off all day and this evening it's proper hoofing it down with snow. Bloody love it :D :D

Today I walked the dog twice. Met with a parishioner for a chat and a coffee. Then spent a bit of time in an art shop getting stuff for my daughter, nice discount thanks to being a student, and headed home. Cooked dinner for the daughter, reheated a lentil curry I made yesterday for dinner and getting ready to fetch a colleague for Deanery Synod with the new Bishop of Rochester later in Bexley. Should be home in time to collect daughter from her cleaning job at 10pm.

Tarted up a Stanley 4 1/2 plane I've had for a few years. I need to trim a door slightly, the 4 1/2 is slightly wider and heavier than a 4 which makes it a touch easier. I also sharpened some other edge tools and my forearm is now balder than usual.

And I bet they load up the plate with fecking sprouts. :sick:


There will be four of us that I'll be paying for (although we're in a group of ten in total), so including drinks, I reckon I'll be looking at just shy of a bag of sand.
As The Ritz has my email address they sent me their New Years Eve offer for 6 course meal, band , a half bottle of Bolly champers to see in the New Year with ..... bargaintastic at £1695 per person. That doesnt include any drinks or a room ;)

Left home just after 7 this morning to go into London and get my phone back as I stupidly left it there yesterday and I'm not back on site until Monday and need it before then. Crazy how you rely on these things.I needed to do some online banking, need my debit card and driving license which are in the phone wallet etc blah.

Had very spirited ride there and especially back where I was riding in prison territory and I never do that. By fook that MT-09 is a cracking bike. If you haven't got one you is well bent innit!

Got back and my Wife is still very rough. We'd even rang 111 last night as she is so bad. Decided I'd get her some magic chocolate and meds and grabbed a pack of covid tests too. Turns out she has covid and has rather generously shared it with me! :roll: That kinda bollocks up my scoot shopping plans for the weekend! Ho hum!

I've never met her, but this sounds harsh.
