When I went out to meet friends for dinner, it was snowing a smidge, but I could also see the almost full moon!

Came out of the restaurant a couple of hours later to find that there is no full moon to be seen, but tis definitely snowing :D :D :D

In about 2001 I went to France with Dodgy and Whitebird. WB has gone completely missing. Even the VD FB group don't know what happened to him after his Irish sojourn.

Taking my KTM wheels to the powdercoaters, the guy I spoke to a couple weeks ago said £70 - £80 per wheel. I told the lady receiving them that I would pay cash and had no need for an invoice.

" Can I pay now, I have cash in my wallet ?"

" Yes love, is £80 OK "

Up early, couldn't sleep, still feel a bit down, lit the fire, made a coffee, sitting back and being grateful that I'm warm, fed and safe.
It's not insignificant, but it's often taken for granted and with all the shit that's going on around the world at the moment, then just sitting here warm and safe is enough to be grateful. So I'm having "Insignificant things that make me grateful" this morning.

I never got the chance to get up and see him when he was over here, I know that girl he took up with was an odd being.
