Annoying when something has worked well for so long, that when you finally want to replace it with the exact same model, you find it's no longer made...

Judging by the forecast, I'd better put my central heating back on tonight....🔥

I'm putting together an emergency box. So far, I have £50 cash, a wind-up torch and a tin of Sainsbury's Three Bean soup.

Currently reading 'The Whisper on the Night Wind' by Adam Shoalts, a Canadian wilderness explorer. The terrain he crosses is so horrendously arduous, that part of the joy of reading it is reminding myself that I have a nice comfy bed to go to each night 🤣 xx

My brother, who lives in France, just had an operation, so we've sent him a box full of goodies and gifts to help raise his morale.

Just looked up to see when Squeeze released "Labelled with Love" to confirm a date I need for a compensation claim. It's all in the detail.

I do like my drinks piping hot. So I've bought 3 of these rubberised lids. Gently push the button down and it seals in much of the heat.

Hospital leaflet reassures me I can have intercourse "soon after" surgery. But how soon? And who with?

It's cold and lashing with rain out there, while my phone's gallery widget teases me with this picture from the summer before last! (Hampstead Heath)

Chilly day, but cosy against an easterly breeze, listening to Chopin, in the musical shelter. Visited the church garden for signs of Spring, but there were none!

So far, "The Old Man and the Sea" is all about murdering fish.

Dave from the building next door stopped me to ask my advice about a exercise bike, as he said he's seen I have an exercise bike and treadmill in my room. You can't casually see that from his balcony, you'd have to make a real effort, stretching and balancing. Bloody weirdo 🤣🤷‍♂️

I’ve never seen a waxwing in the flesh, let alone photographed one, so my New Year’s resolution is to put that right. I’m in Surrey but willing to travel 50 miles or so. If you know of a good reliable spot for them, please let me know. Forever grateful. Thanks.

Even my varifocals are no match for the miniscule print on many instruction leaflets these days. Taken to using an illuminated magnifying glass, like some old man. Yes, like some old man.

Boxing Day. I'm not into the 12 days mullarkey so wasted no time in felling the tree and packing the baubles away. Changed my watch face back to normal too...

Had an ECG yesterday. Dr’s surgery just 3 mins’ walk. Afterwards went for a half of stout, bought a chocolate bar to enjoy later and walked the prom. Then sat in a church garden as it rained softly and the evening light faded. So, I made the most of it.

I’ll be forever glad that I was there on uni results day, 1999, for Frances, a girl I barely knew. We held each other as she sobbed her little heart out with joy and relief at her 2:1. I hope she’s having a good life.

I'd never believed in or experienced the stereotypical GP's receptionist until today. Absolute shocker.

South Korean Presidential statement sounds like the kind of BS usually delivered at gunpoint from the back of a Toyota Hilux.
