Out walking the other day and wondered why my Garmin Oregon ran out of battery when I'd only recently charged it. Turned out I'd forgotten to turn it off the day before. The track it created while sat on the shelf indicates the extent of error these satnav things can have:



Either that or I was sleepwalking around my neighbours' properties.

Your cat took it on his nighttime prowl.

Morning all if all there be

Whitely grey sky.

No current precipitation.

Dark.

Dank.

Dreary.

Dire.

Depressing.

Cooler today at 16.7 deg in here.

Barometer rising a bit.

<hiatus>

In with the hoi polloi.

Sniffers but no mouth breather.

Morning denizens

My mother's feeling a bit better and is out of bed today

I'd like to say it's my presence that has healing powers, but she attributes it to yesterday's fish and chips

Nice breakfast of rosti (with embedded fragments of bacon) and more bacon. Makes a change

[DoctorStrangelove]

Vaguely wanly sunly out there now.

Bought some beef for tomorrow (that I could equally easily have got out of the freezer) and a fine selection of preloved dvds.

On the stagger up to Tonna lock observed a Jay singing its remarkable song.

♫ Jay - song / call / voice / sound.

And I thought jackdaws were rough.

Lunch was a large seedy roll with ripe camembert and cranberry jelly.

WTFH shot him at last??

[DoctorStrangelove]

Vaguely wanly sunly out there now.

Drizzling now.

Lunch was the poached tomato/scrambled egg thing on Ancient Grain toast.

Followed by 1.05 pints of Good Glengettie Tea.

Home!

Google Maps is absolutely convinced there's a road closure on the A6 and tries to send you off through Higham Ferrers. There is no road closure (it's in a couple of weeks and only at night, according to the signs) so I ignored it completely, but I noticed both going and coming back that the stretch of road in question seemed atypically quiet; presumably the centre of Higham Ferrers, such as it is, is unusually busy

Oh, and I got my shopping done on the way back. It would have been too much hassle to try to get mine at the same time as assisting my Dad, so I didn't bother last night, instead subjecting myself to the deep unpleasantness of the Saturday afternoon melée

[NickFitz]

I didn't have any coffee this morning. Wondering whether to have it now. It's not as if I need to worry about it keeping me awake at night, given the time I usually get to bed on a Saturday
