A right now thread

I saw a picture on FB of a 'Sea Hurricane' and went down the Wikipedia rabbit hole...

CAM ships. Needs must during war time, but who'd want to be a pilot on a CAM ship!!!

Apparently they were end of life airframes that were due to be scrapped anyway, but I wouldn't fancy bobbing around in the North Sea waiting to be picked up after ditching.

I'm living the dream, I'm working from home, I have a hot cup of coffee, Mary Poppins playing in the background and the coal fire roaring away.
Life doesn't get any better

I'm back home home and having a cup of tea after doing a causeway patrol. It amuses me I have to drive over the causeway to fetch the works vehicle and then drive back to the causeway to check it's safe. High itdes and strong winds can mean lots of spray and debris on the road making it iffy to drive on.

I’m sitting in my friends cafe drinking coffee looking out at the mountains. Should be in ski gear but for some reason I’m bloody knackered this morning (walking up the mountain a bit yesterday early, some skiing then going out - maybe!!) so not doing first lift. And it’s a bit warm so the snow is a bit soggy

But if the sun comes out at lunch I’m heading out with a mate for a couple of runs whilst the world has lunch

[Cousin Jack]

On watch at the NCI. Sod all to see, except sea. Have seen 1 mussel boat since 0800, and he has gone home now.

I’m in ikea. Looks like I’ll be ending dry January a tad early…

Home, finished 3 nights, packed my bag ready to go to hers when I wake up at 1000. Taking the bike as there’s better weather, so they say. In bed with a cuppa, checking the news etc before sleeping.
Have a great day all,
Mick

Just chilling in late afternoon warmth after watching sun dipping behind the big house opposite.

Took this photo of dog on path and cat on rock. Came out great

Those sausages are just plain nasty, every "English" breakfast has them and they're horrible. Perhaps they're easy to import because they're meat free, just breadcrumbs and lard. Just get some decent local salchichas and pop a morcilla on there in place of black pudding. Spanish bacon cuts are nicer than the english stuff too. Propose this to your local cafe as the "full spanglish breakfast".

And while we’re at it- get rid of the beans. That’s an abomination at breakfast. Beans are a snack, on toast. And toast, laid flat on the plate? >> soggy and horrible. Needs to be crisp. And waffle - American nonsense. Proper bacon, black pudding needed, and twice the sausage but decent ones as said ^^, not those sawdust ones.

What a lousy breakfast, Yoz. Hope it’s cheaper than the beer.

The sausages are actually very nice. Some places do sell the nasty ones you mention.

The toast was dry. They know I don't want it buttered. And it's hash brown, not waffle

And I have the beans on the toast, last

Sat in front of a roaring fire, it looks like snow outside, the sky is that funny shade of grey, even the birds have stopped flying about.
I was going to rake some leaves up to get a bit of exercise but I think I'll leave that to the gardener and I'm going to make another coffee and read the newspapers, it's as cold as a witches tit outside.

[KungFooBob]

Just paid for my new kitchen... That I'm going to attempt to fit myself, what could possibly go wrong?

[Skub]

A relatively mild and dry 11°C here. I might take the bike for a run shortly.

Enjoying a cool beer after all that weeding. Dry February starts tmrw, so getting it in while I can

It's already the shortest month and you've shaved almost a week off!

Do 'dry Monday' instead and start later today?

If it's like mine then it's the unexpected horrors that are revealed when you pull the old stuff out.
