    There's thick frost on everything outside, it's zero C again and very still. Not particularly quiet though, being about a mile from the M4, the traffic noise is a steady distant rushing sound. There's never true silence here. Ever.

    Ha - let's not forget that the only reason I don't have to work full time now is because I've earned that status, having worked like a dog for many years running my business and been fortunate that that's now allowed me to take a back seat and enjoy life a little, spending it with those I care about. Nothing was handed to me on a plate! Just in case you'd gotten the wrong impression

    They both enjoyed lunch very much. My dad only lives across the road, and he's 83, but very fit and great for his age, so it's good spending some time together (we've always been close) and making as many nice memories as possible, because at his age you never know how long it'll be until those memories are all you'll have left...

    My wife, Del, has taken some time off work at the moment, and she's also looking forward to retiring soon from her job as a college lecturer, which she's very good at, but before she can do that, she needs to find something else that's challenging, to occupy her time, as unlike me she can't sit still for two minutes (always needs to be on the go), and wouldn't be content with just listening to music all day, or posting pish on here like I do!

    Marco.
    Apologies for the late reply Marco, BUSY weekend. Feels like being back at work for a rest!

    Glad you had a good day out. Nothing nicer than enjoying each others company over a nice meal. Bet your dad enjoyed it too. You're right, enjoy him while you have him.

    No problem here with anyone earning their retirement! Only a bit of banter

    And, if anyone has got it handed to them, good for them, enjoy

    I'm sure Del will get something to keep her interested and active, busy people always do!

    Brightening up now. Was very cold and misty an hour ago. 0 degrees C at 9.00 am.

    Wait until Thursday. Temperatures are set to plunge. Possibility of -10 in the south and as low as -20 up north. Lovely (not).

    So much for all the 'Britain to shiver in grip of Siberian Hell for months on ends' bollocks printed in the Express. Mild for January today today (8c) and getting milder. Piers Corbyn is about as good a weather forecaster as his brother is as a political party leader.

    Certainly been unseasonably warmer up here this year. Sometimes happens, and we will no doubt pay for it.
