A bitter breeze and it snowed at lunch time. Too wet for it to settle thanks goodness. The overnight temperature looks warm enough that that pavements shouldn't turn into ice rinks.
Trying to decide what to do for dinner. Am not feeling inclined to go out.Comment

A check of the recycling bin as I headed out for my walk this afternoon revealed that it was nearly full (loads of room if one had squashed stuff down a bit, mind) so I just gathered my recycling in a carrier bag (we're allowed to use them in recycling here), took it down to top the bin off, and trundled it forth
No rain or snow now and clear skies, but the wind is absolutely bitterComment

For viewing whilst dining, a new episode of Traffic Cops had been made available
And after, the next episode (E4) of This is Going to Hurt.
Finally, despite already having several series on the go and starting to get confused without a TV scheduler to dole them out to me at a set time every week, I started on yet another: S1E1 of In The Flesh, in which a zombie uprising has been successfully overcome and, as a palliative treatment is available, attempts are being made to reintegrate those still with Partially Deceased Syndrome back into wider society; but they face prejudice from so-called normal people, aka The Living. Apparently this was the sequel series to one about the uprising itself which is no longer on iPlayer. I thought it was pretty good, and will continue with it, assuming iPlayer reminds me
Better get to sleep now as I have a bin to fetch back in the morning
Goodnight allComment

Morning all
Blue sky and chucks of fluff about. Currently 4 degrees ('feels like' 0) with a high of 9 later. Breezy. No increase of cloud cover showing on my weather app so I'm confused by it's claim that there's a 90% chance of precipitation.
I did venture outside for dinner last night. Went to a Japanese place just up the road, and very nice it was too. It was an izakaya rather than sushi restaurant.Comment

Having woken up early (and The WifeTM being away), The DogTW and I decided to go to the beach.
Clear blue skies, sunshine, a gentle breeze, and a very enjoyable walk. Now to do a few hours work.
TFIF, etc…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
