Mississippi Bullfrog Posted January 11, 2022 Posted January 11, 2022 I am feeling smug this morning. I volunteered for something which involves a pretty huge amount of training and takes me well outside my comfort zone in terms of handling technology. Next week I have three days doing the first live event. There was a pre-meeting last night on Zoom at the end of which was an optional additional meeting to cover one of the six parts of the programme. I was pretty knackered by then but stuck with it and did the additional meeting which finished quite late. There was a one in six chance I'd pull that part of the process, and a five in six chance I'd be on something else. And this morning an email telling me I'm covering that part. Which is great because right now it's the only bit I really understand. 4 Quote
S-Westerly Posted January 11, 2022 Author Posted January 11, 2022 I absolutely detest British winters. Don't mind properly cold ones with lots of snow as you can do fun things in snow. Don't mind mild sunny ones like many Mediterranean countries have some of the time. What's not to like.? But ours? Raw, damp, grey and generally horrible. There's nothing that's worth doing in that kind of crap. f**king hate it. 5 Quote
bonio Posted January 11, 2022 Posted January 11, 2022 I miss the sun. Without it, my eyes ache, brain goes fuzzy, and I can't make any decisions. My inner bear just wants to hibernate. Hanging in there, waiting for March. 1 Quote
rennie Posted January 11, 2022 Posted January 11, 2022 Good Evening I rarely even see daylight in The Winter! Still dark when I go to bed, already dark when I get up! Weekends don't count cos I never know what day it is anyway 2 Quote
Guest Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 Morning. Defrosting car to go to work. Back still a ropey but on the mend. Quote
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 A good skip find, now I just need to figure out what to make with it. 2 Quote

Steve_M Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 Dear Scotland (Dumfries and Galloway / Scottish Borders). Thank you for not raining on my route today. It would be nice if you were a bit warmer, though a coldest temperature of 5 degrees isn’t bad for this time of year. Now if you could just clear all the mud, gravel and various bits of detritus off the road surfaces, that would be excellent. Cheers, Steve 5 Quote
