Thats Massive...
I mean , in a good way
Seriously well done. Have a mince pie to celebrate. Or not.
That went well!!!!!!
I expected the Tesco pick up to take hours but it was one of the quickest that I’ve done.
Telford is famous for traffic lights and roundabouts. I had a straight run - green all the way there and back.
Tesco was wonderfully efficient:
Dedicated parking space available and The Tesco internet wasn’t working! As I arrived a real live person checked who I was and went straight in to collect my heap. I was gone with four carrier bags of veg and fruit in well under ten minutes. Didn’t join the queue at Boots - I’ll manage without meds - and didn’t join the queue of cars trying to get into Wellington - so I didn’t get to the “gym“.
(This has become a term for the Masova bakery - some of the best coffee in town and purveyor if the gooiest cakes that don’t resist a blunt wooden fork.)
Back home for cocoa!
Happy day thus far.

Well done on the weight loss! It was a go of Flu started my weight loss journey ... sometimes being ill is a positive thing
My positive news is that I have finished sewing a new wool shirt and a pair of linen trousers (bar hemming the legs - that needs to be done after a wash to be sure they do not shrink short) AND BOTH FIT! despite my not having used my home made patterns for a while ... so my figure has not changed too much since I stopped calling my food intake "my diet plan" and called it "normal eating

My central heating and hot water failed on Monday 22nd this week. I messaged my regular CH engineer and he was round and fixed it less than 24 hours later. Customer service...
What a wonderful Boxingday Morning.
A proper hard frost lit by silver sunlight.
Icy air that was more like drinking than breathing.
Dragon smoke breath.
A real bite to finger tips and ear lobes.
Then back home for a Christmas Dinner Leftovers butty - the very finest of the butty ilk.

Can I add more heart warming joy that Oldham Athletic just won away with a 96th minute winner. The holidays were relaxing. I am grateful to all you lot on here for helping and answering all my questions and right now there are millions of acts of random kindness being carried out which balances the life force somewhat. xxxx

After the cold snap we've had this week I have all but burned through about half of my dried wood pile and was starting to make mental plans to get ready to cut down some new wood so that it can be thoroughly dried out ready for next winter. Then as if by magic just hours later on the very same day my prayers were answered. By pure coincidence one of my neighbors has just had two very large trees professionally cut down and chopped up with all the bits just lying there on the side of the road ready to be taken away. So I've filled my boots (car boots that is) and nabbed all of the 1" to 4" diameter branches which are an ideal size for my needs. They've were even pre-cut length ways to be just the right size which fits perfectly in the boot of my car with the seats folded down and in the wood drying shed at the stables.
I'm well chuffed I can tell you.

Accepted a job offer today, so that’s one less thing to worry about for a while. Got 2 weeks now to relax.

Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
Positive news, I’m pushing for Bushcraft to be in the next winter games and I’ll head up the team GB!
Thanks mate. I'd be done with it in a shot if I won the lottery! Still hoping.
Just IT/software management sort of stuff mate. Unfortunately I was turned down as Brad Pitt’s stunt double for being too handsome.
