Beer!..beer!...my Christmas booze is still in the fridge untouched. I will start the scoot, it needs a run really, then I will clear up the fallen branches from the garden, they are from next doors (dead) tree, but always end up on my garden. Apart from that, a usual day here.

As said before, the housing association fitted a new boilerin the bungalow, it is not a patch on the old boiler, radiators get hot, but slow getting up to temperature...

I no longer make long term plans, take each day as it comes, i would like to do much more with my time left, but there are restrictions that prevent many things happening.

The older you get, the faster time passes, the days no longer seem long enough.

Is there going to be a Poll?

It is a very mild day, but wet and windy too. 1st job is to sort out the slight water leaks coming from the roof, and take down some shelves that are slowly collapsing, it will pass a hour or so.

Could do with a bike shop like that around here, seriously lacking in this area.

Nice morning here, it feels a little milder too, we have the 11 year (granddaughter) whirlwind today, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, too old for this childminding shit. I am finding the Birmingham solution to the scoot more appealing as the days pass.

Milder on Thursday here in the East Midlands, I hope so.

I expected a rise in the price, but to receive a quote that was bordering on double what i paid last year is taking the piss.

Went on Gocompare and got car insurance at nearly half the price that Hastings quoted me, and the insurance is with the A.A, I always thought they were expensive, seems not.

Just the usual here, raining and misty, cold too, visiting the outlaws tomorrow.

Can someone explain to me how (car) insurance costs work?.....cos it has got me fucking gobsmacked....

Hangover?

You have missed Iowa...........again.

Was hoping for pie & chip's..

Not sure that it would make it to Birmingham

I can keep riding it till 14th of March, then I will SORN it, and still advertise it for sale.

Someone I know pays less for 2 bikes on his multi bike policy.. Still trying to sell the scoot, 3 weeks (almost) in and not 1 single enquiry, do you think that is telling me something?

Oooo that would be good! £165 actually.

Scoot insurance!.....Bennets have doubled the price from last year!..........Bastards!..

The guys came back and fitted the gutter on the rear of the bungalow Their boss not happy with the finish job on side of the bungalow, they did the soffits & facia in 3 sections, he said it should be in 2 sections, so they are back next week to rectify the (bodge ) job........iam glad I ain't paying for all this work.

Happy Anniversary to you both.

Tapping on my shoulder!........more likely hard jab in the ribs, or.....

The guys returned today to complete the fitting of the soffits and facias, new guttering and downpipes all round too, they made a tidy job too, then at 4.50pm he knocked on the door said all "done ", and off they went back to Barnsley. Just been outside to lock the gates and the shed, and........................there is no guttering on the rear of the bungalow.
