We're a bit out of touch here. Is the north in a lower tier ?

Proper filthy here, they're not opening the primary schools 'cause we're extra unclean.

There's also a massive test processing lab here....coincidence? I think not! We've been importing it from all around the UK.

IMHO, it won't go away if the Govt concentrate on pleasing the people. Too many stupid people ignoring the rules and spreading it. Or that's what it seems to be.

I've had a beer.

Went for a run in the woods, thinking it might be a bit drier and firmer underfoot.

I was wrong. Both the dog and I got hosed down when got home. That was bracing, to say the least.

Early morning call from my old mum, her heating had packed up - no pressure in the boiler and a leak from bathroom towel rail, thats the problem!
Pinch a pair of valves from our ensuite and head over like a good son. Fit them without bothering to drain the system so I'm a little damp but mum now has heating :thumbup:

Last walk of the year.

There have been years recently when I did less miles on the bike. :roll:

Been to feed the ducks.

The lakes were frozen over and it was funny watching the feathered bastards sliding all over the shop.

I've done a bit of sorting of stuff (wifi box now somewhere accessible if need to access it!) need to do more to sort one of the big shelves.

Had to dose myself with meds and use the hot pad early cos the physio did stuff that reacted this morning!! Had an earlier than normal physio today then met some friends for Vin Chaud on the snow front :) One couple are Cornish so I had a rather lush Cornish Pasty for tea :D


Looking at the forcast (and current weather) it wouldn't be safe or very nice to walk up the piste at midnight, so I'm gonna set an alarm for early tomorrow and go for a nice long walk in the morning to cheer in the new year at sunrise!! (Hopefully the cloud will have cleared enough by then to see the sun come up! :D )


But, have made some more friends - people with a chalet in the village below that are planning to live here for the seasons and travel in the interseason - nice to have more people to talk to :D :D
