Same here. Rain tomorrow though, so no need to look on the bright side just yet

Rubbish trundled. Recycling can wait until Tuesday's collection.

An interview with god was good, not converted to a believer, but it tried to explain some of God's mysteries. But strangely God only mentions the Christians & Jews. other religious sects are screwed apparently.

Nine perfect strangers episode was good.

Off up north tomorrow to deliver Miss V1 to UNI.

And in 3 weeks to the Midlands for miss v2.

Its going to be quiet.

More seasonal viewing on iPlayer tonight: Surviving 9/11, about people's experiences on the day and since. Another very interesting, if obviously very sombre, programme

To sleep now, in hopes of an early walk tomorrow assuming the weather holds off; and certainly an early inbound trundle

Goodnight all

Walk briskly walked, green ring closed

And the recycling bins had been done by the time I set off, so that's been trundled back in

Bed stripped and first load (under sheet and pillow cases) doing its thing.
