Text from surgery received on ancient batphone, requiring much swearing, plugging in of charger, and deletion of other texts to make room to receive it in bits: tried to reply: "invalid address!" so I phoned up & spoke to someone: 09:45 tomorrow for the flu jab, the old farts version which generally puts me out of sorts for a couple of days due to the bits of shark they add in.

The promised cloud cover had already arrived by the time I set off so it'll start to warm up a bit now - already up to 5° from 2° an hour ago.

Not much cloud at moment, most of it is long trails from planes.
