^^ Hello Pondy! How are you?



Afternoon all

Cloudy but dry and bright. Currently 14 degrees with a high of 15 to come. Barometer down to 1027 mBar.

Sunrise 07:27; Sunset 18:05 BST

Busy morning, many meetings. Then HWMBO turned up. A toasted cheese and tomato sandwich was had for lunch, after picking out bits of mould and chucking the rest of the loaf.

Now back to coalface.

It's been a busy day, but that's me done for the week and next week too!

Tonight, I'm going to the pub for a drink with my old friend the photographer

He's moved now, so we've agreed a place roughly halfway between us. I'm still trying to decide whether to walk or take the bike. There are cycle paths - proper road-separated ones as and when they coincide with roads - virtually the whole way, but coming back has a fair number of uphill stretches to it

Tea: some kind of spicy chicken and potato thing out of the freezer, which I made so long ago that I'm not sure what the spices were. Nice though

To go with this, the remainder of an episode of the motorway cops thing I started watching a while ago

To the pub I went, and it's a very nice little place, located in what remains of the castle grounds

I ended up walking because when I went to get the bike, the magic code wouldn't open the room of storerooms! I think somebody's accidentally triggered the catch on the lock - maybe me, as I popped down earlier to get the lights off the bike so I could recharge them. Anyway, I had to abandon my plan to ride there and walk instead

To be honest, the walk back reminded me of how steep the road past the fire station is; as that's actually the least steep of the various ways of getting back up the hill to where I live, I should probably get a bit fitter before attempting to cycle home from that side of town

Post-pub entertainment has been a rewatch of the extremely violent, hugely entertaining, and often very beautiful Sisu (2022) in which a bunch of Nazis learn, as so many have had to learn, that you don't mess with a Finn

Goodnight all
