Spring feels a very long way off at the moment,despite everything that's blooming in our garden.

It's fucking Baltic here.

Same here now the winds picked up again today. 

Was a beautiful sunrise this morning though by the time I'd got my phone out and got a proper view of it the best of the colours had gone.

Got now 80s on TV as I'm working . My daughter walked in , pulled a face and said that's proper old peoples music 

It was Erasure that was on

I remember my dad saying to me one day your kids will laugh at the music you listen to and I thought no way I'll be cool for ever

Did you tell her to show a little respect?

I used the only thing she listens to , laugh again and your banned from your tablet for the day

She then preceded to show me what good music was and it was a remix of One Night In Bangkok

The idea of Thierry Henry being Bournemouth manager.

Didn't know this until last night but Flat Pack furniture.

Constructed a 3 drawer cabinet.  So many pieces, so many screws, bevels and all manner of fiddly little things

I absolutely loved assembling it though. Following the instruction book like it was a grown up Lego set.  So therapeutic and got me away from the work computer before tea for a few hours.

Might seem an odd one to share.  Just attended the online funeral of dear Betty over at SFX church.  I cried my guts out.  I wish I could have been there, but of course Covid meant it wasn't possible.  But I doubt I would have allowed myself to become so emotional in public. 

It wasn't the goodbye she deserved, but it was good to be there in some form.  It's also good to know I'm not totally disassociated from my emotions.

My other halfs Mac N Cheese.

It's perfect comfort food, 100 times better than that Heinz stuff in a tin.

I've got a hospital appt 22nd March, its usually a pig to park there, I'm hoping its quiet this time. Once lockdown ends, its going to be back to mental again trying to park anywhere

Funnily enough Rob that is in fact what I was referencing. I have had a few over the past few months and it has been a relative pleasure not going through the usual rigmarole of preparing 30 mins in advance to make sure you get a parking space. If you're going to be ill with something and need treatment, now is the time to get it (well if you're odd like me and more arsed about finding a parking space than the actual stuff that happens once parked  )

One of the hospitals even still has free parking with the barriers just open. I cannot tell you the difference it makes to the whole process.

Wythenshawe and Withington are both still charging, but luckily both times I've been there recently I've been in and out in the free to park period

Had to take the missus to St Marys for a scan last June/July time, was great to get a parking spot on the lower floor.

Makes a huge difference doesn`t it mate. Really takes some of the usual stress away.
