Been cleaning up in garage before visit by boiler service bloke tomorrow. Funny how tedious jobs like that cheer you up, was feeling distinctly grumpy earlier.
Left the outside tap dripping a bit last night and it has formed an icicle that looks just like a bloke's thingy, complete with b*. I would post a photo but NAT will give me an infartion.

May call in at village club later, after me walky.
snow here since yesterday AM, so going nowhere today.
dentist tuesday, maybe snow'll be gone by then.
the world goes back to normal (AFU) tomorrow, thank feck.
The darts final beckons. I skipped the majority of the waffle and preamble by watching something else for the first half hour of the coverage. It should be actually getting underway in the next few minutes.
you skipped the tedious bit to get to the REALLY EXCRUCIATINGLY boring bit???
Morning all
Scrambled maps completed (nothing special happened at the end)
£75 interest in the January draw. Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
About to venture out for a walk now, and later will be back up a ladder pruning apple trees. Spent 5 hours yesterday on the biggest cooker, still maybe another 2 hours to finish it, but I’d really like to start on the old cider tree as I didn’t prune it last year.
It’s a clear blue sky out there again, which means all the heat is getting out: it’s -3°C now, and that’s after warming up a little; the high will be 1° for two or three hours this afternoon. It’ll get down to -5° tonight, and there’s a 25% chance of a short period of precipitation this evening, which will presumably arrive in the form of sleet or snow. The barometers are up a bit at 1001/1009mB
Meanwhile on the 9th of March 2020 WTFH was having problems cancelling stuff, it was drizzling on me, it had gone grey with LM, SimonMac was having problems with online banking, and NF posted the Monday links as is only right & proper.
Next door's kid(s) were excited to see the snow & went outside to make snowballs earlier.
Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: my tinnitus. Still snowy though it's melting a little.
We got a modicum of wildlife stuff today, which I supplemented this evening with E2 of Planet Earth III
And this evening, I got back to reading The Confessions of Samuel Pepys. He isn’t getting any better. Getting worse, though: he’s definitely managing that
