Took a brisk walk round the block to the post box. Not nice out. Cold with a nasty dampness in the air.

Zen Chury Ommmm!

Lovely and sunny out there. Bet it's a bit chilly though.

The sun shows up the little handprints all over the front window. Must sort that out.

Nope, you've just got some people on your ignore list who've posted in here; until I fix that, your numbers will be a bit off

Due to lack of use and the recent extremely cold weather, the car's battery has gone flat again. So I decided to bring it in and put it on the charger.

Went out to get it and, to my surprise, the recently-condemned wall to the back yard has vanished!

It was there last night, so they must have taken it down this morning and been extremely quiet about it, as I didn't hear a thing

So now the stable roof that extends over our alleyway is held up by a couple of props. It's unclear whether the wall will be rebuilt in situ, or whether we're going to finish up with a fence. It was good solid Victorian brick, so I reckon they should rebuild it; but of course nobody cares what I think

Anyway, the battery's on the charger. The instructions say that the yellow light comes on when its charging, and once it's charged the green light comes on. It doesn't say anything about both the yellow and the green light coming on, which is what's happening at the moment. I'll give it a few hours and check the voltage

My Dad keeps nagging me to check my car as it's not been moved for a month.

I know I should but I just can't be bothered.

Hmm. I disconnected the charger again and tested it; the voltage had gone up quite a bit from what it was before I started. Then I reconnected the charger, and now it's just sticking with the yellow light. Maybe it got confused by the battery apparently charging quite rapidly in the first couple of minutes? I'm hoping it just carries on as expected now
