I may be a little damp today. Watching river levels rise in Beddgelert, Gwynedd.

It’s been a long and emotional day for many - my thoughts are with Ethan’s family - and a deep respect for the officers who brought this young child’s killers to justice. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ce...

Went to see Mr Burton last night - a real pleasure - definitely worth a watch. Double bonus was to see it in Galeri in Caernarfon - a gem of place. youtu.be/h6Trx84-gy4?...

Not a bad lunch spot. All to ourselves. Got to love living in this area.

First run attempt of the year. Tough. But a pretty fine backdrop.

Been a bit of a week. From being petrol bombed on a training course - to Paris for a break. Lush.

Insightful look into UK debt, how we got there, and what it means. Certainly leaves you asking questions, such as who actually decides the interest rates to pay back that debt. And that is a whole other can of worms.

Why does culture and sport matter? I reflect on some of the findings of a Senedd report on BBC Wales Today this evening. Bottom line - sport and culture are good for your physical and mental health - and save health services a fortune. Does Wales need to spend more? senedd.wales/media/ekumt3...

One of my ambitions this year is to cut down our food waste. My cunning plan is this: eat the food we buy. Tonight - it’s a chilli - frozen two weeks ago.

Power is back on - yay. Boiler doesn’t agree. Bah!

George Herd @georgeherd.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

Day 2 without power… looks cosy. But not a lot of heat - no hot water - and need to find batteries and recharge things tomorrow. Apparently it’ll be another day until this is sorted. Job tomorrow - empty out the freezer. And find a shower…

Power still off. Little flickers now and then - enough to make a fairy light glow and the led street lights flicker. So hunkered down - soup and downloaded Netflix on iPad. #stormdarragh #eryri

I’ve had lots of new followers - thank you. I really should post some content. That’s always a challenge. So here’s my dog. I think he’s magnificent. This is Savi.

Quick walk with the dog before it gets dark or starts raining/snowing/hailing! Not a bad place to live!

It’s definitely a three-layers sort of day - including the wooly jumper. First snow on Yr Wyddfa this year - looking stunning from my attic study.

Spent the morning chatting with a tax expert about why the inheritance tax changes are as straightforward as some think - and what it might mean for farmers. Now off to talk rugby and why Wales is not performing. Quite the Monday so far.
