It's amazing how people in our age range seem to continually forget just how dark and cold the winter gets.

I do recall how grotty setting off for work in the dark and coming home in the dark was but at least there was something irritating in between to make me forget it.

Now it's just interfering with my time and stopping me doing what I want to without the compensation of making some money. In fact costing me lots to avoid freezing my nuts off.

No wonder old men have earned a reputation for being grumpy 

Still on the bright side it's not all unpleasantly hot and sticky. 

I've just subscribed to a bloke on YouTube with an even more pessimistic outlook than me. First one was a rundown on how EVs are in the process of destroying vehicle makers. Now he's on the Epstein files.... It's so pleasant just baling out early.,.

Glad to hear. To dark to see if any snow is still lying

Fear not, Michael,    I wasn't serious. 

Golly!

Me too

Sounds good

Had a lovely leg of lamb lunch at the Crown in Wells next the Sea.  Mrs Dex's beef was a bit tough but, to their credit, they were happy to give her another dish from the menu pretty quickly.

Now having a few G&T's before driving home tomorrow morning.

Good to see you back Scrumps 

Glad your back Scrumps.  When I had my Heller Myotomy, they fixed a hiatus hernia they found at the same time.  All minimally invasive, laparoscopic routine.  The only thing that might give you a degree of pain would be the gases that they inflate you with (for room to manoeuvre their other probes) working its way out.  Don't be shy to request morphine for this!!  Luckily only lasts a couple or so hours.
