brand new = bad for environment.
best off with a re CYCLEd one IMMHO.
anyway, you can't get an iBike yet, can you? to match your tv/spy speakers/phone/underwear/bath salts/etc.

Bad for the environment, but good for a small local business!

And yes, until the Apple iBike arrives, I'll have to make do with a normal one

The lift's broken again

Managed to get through to the Chinese takeaway on the third try, and they've only got a one hour backlog! I was expecting to be told to get there at quarter to eight but no, seven it is

Oh, and I've won £50 on the Premium Bonds!

Very nice it was too

The snow doesn't seem to have arrived here yet, but the radar suggests it's on its way

No sign of any snow here.

Flat was still too chilly so I thought I'd check the boiler and I saw the pressure on zero. Re-pressurised the system and it seems to be warming up now.

I wish there was a way for the boiler to issue an alert when the pressure is too low.

After the usual Monkey Life there was the usual batch of wildlife repeats; they're getting back into the shark thing, among others

No later telly, but I did a bit of mucking around with SpriteKit and GameplayKit stuff. It isn't working, probably because of a trivial error on my part, but I couldn't be bothered to get any further into it today

Instead, I started reading February 1933: The Winter of Literature by Uwe Wittstock. It's about the four weeks and two days from Hitler being appointed as chancellor to the promulgation of the emergency decree that criminalised those the Nazis regarded as enemies, whereupon the process of arresting people and throwing them in concentration camps could begin. It's examined primarily in the context of writers and artists, those who fled in time and those who stayed until it was too late, because they are the people whose letters, journals, and memoirs have been preserved in archives and so on.

Snow has come, but not in a particularly cataclysmic way; a pretty light sprinkling so far

Goodnight all

Morning denizens

The snow must have carried on for a bit last night as there's a decent sprinkling. Not a total covering though, with the drive already clear, the tufty bits of the lawn poking through, and various cars showing some signs of thawing out. It'll all be gone by tonight, as it's already 1°C ("feels like" -2°) and will keep getting warmer even after dark, reaching 11° by midnight - possibly accompanied by rain too. The barometers are way down at 975/983mB

Lot of snow on ground when I went to bed last night. Nextdoor thing said crashes and holdups at road through village. All gone today, wet and grey again! Walky will be a bit wet today.
