They were all at 2.0 bar, so set them to 2.7 bar (as per the sticker in the drivers door shut).

I have no idea what a bar is, BMW don't put PSI on the sticker, but the digital gauge changes on the button.

1 Bar is 1 atmosphere..14.7 lbs per square inch. No idea what that is in kilograms per cubic centimetre.

On a typical day.

Bar is such a silly unit, but its the universal standard when talking about high pressures, probably 'cause its easier to say "500bar" than "7350psi".

It's all about the pascals anyway.

Tide in or out?

Went to the Doctor's this morning just before the 9.30 opening - need another 'sick note'.

Whilst waiting outside (doors open but lights not fully on!) a car pulled up, a guy leapt out of the driver side and rushed around. Then a guy in ski boots (and other relevant gear) levered himself out and walked to the door almost doubled over - left arm hanging a bit uselessly. Guess he's been out touring very early and crashed - kudos for being able to get himself back to resort and to the doc. Damn that must have been painful Looked much more comfortable when he came out with a sling on the arm. Dislocation I guess, probably!!

I went in and the Doc was ace (unexpectedly) and signed me off till end of March!! That's one less paperwork I have to do!!

Now about to do more mince pies to give out and then see the physio for the last apt before Chrimble!

Wasted many hours trying to get to work in Norwich but unable to do so due to flooding. Now on the train heading back home - should have stayed in bed!

At work, things keep breaking, FFS it’s Xmas eve! Just had kippers, poached eggs, sausages, toast, grilled tomatoes and cheese and onion croquettes for breakfast.

One of my clients is on a skeleton staff this week and because there aren't enough people to do normal work the remaining ones are just looking for problems, they are going to get a good ignoring today.

About to fillet a fresh salmon for our Christmas Eve dinner! Better take my clerical shirt off then.

Electric cars have to make a noise at low speeds so pedestrians and guide dogs can hear them. Since virtually all of them are silent they add the noise with speakers behind the grill.

Our Beemer doesn't ....it's one of the knacks of driving it that you need to be aware .

How old is it?

The rule was only introduced in mid 2019.

its a 2019 so might have missed it - endless fun creeping up on people changes very quickly to realising why cyclists are blissfully unaware

Did a little site seeing around London

Mr Kipling's in town?

Physio was interesting/painful!! Posted the sick note off to relevant place. Been trying to do some paperwork and watching snow falling for a while!! Only cos I'm putting off trying to find a dress for tomorrow

Since the bus isn't running at a time that works to get to the other part of the rest for Christmas Lunch, I'm probably going to have to walk up the piste!! So, will probably need to change when I get there!!
