Good morning everyone on this warm, sunny Saturday morning. Certainly makes a change from the last couple of cool days!
I have been in the garage having a look at a problem with my awning that I found yesterday when I was showing my daughter how to fix her solar panel to the roof of her car.
Most of the pop rivets holding the awning to the backing plate had broken. Apparently it is not an uncommon problem but I didn’t know about it and only found it by accident.
The whole awning is pulling away from the backing plate (you can see the broken rivet stubs). It actually is not as bad as that, I was pulling on it for the picture.
A cold a frosty morning, but without any biting wind to make it seem colder.
Last few days have not been the best. On the way back from New York, someone on the plane was generous enough to pass on a rotten flu bug, so me and the wife have spent most of Christmas laid up, coughing and full of snot. Whilst I’ve peaked out, Mrs G is still full of it, neither of us feeling up to much. However, I did manage to do my daily walk today and come home with coffee and muffins to help us feel better.
Nippy but pleasant here in West Sussex
A quiet day anticipated, buffet lunch and a roast tonight.
I’m actually looking forward to getting back to reality, simple grub and back into the gym. To much good living isn’t necessarily a good thing!

sorry to read about your flu problem. If it was an English flu you both would have got over it by now.
Unfortunately you must have caught that terrible American Trump type flu which is very hard to get rid of
Good afternoon everyone, we’ve just finished our lunch consisting of more leftovers from the Christmas roast and chicken broth. I haven’t cooked for two days! We will be having lighter meals during the next few days, that’s for sure.
It’s getting colder here, mountain tops all around us full of snow, this morning I harvested the last of my orangey lemons (I think they’re called Meyer lemons), before the icy weather sets in, forecast for later on in the week.
This is definitely a veeerry looong weekend by the way, isn’t it?
The battery on my mobile is starting to fail and cannot be replaced.
It is a much abused phone, I fall a lot, it is 3 years old.
It is an Android, a very cheap one, recommended by family who live in Taiwan, where they make the bits.
I have had to order another one, drop proof,waterproof and a huge battery, you cannot charge them up in a hospital corridor and you have no call bell in a corridor.
I have another Doogee arriving tomorrow, Android 15, a huge 13000 battery
simple turn on, 59 double sim slot etc, etc.
Afternoon all
Has anyone else packed way Christmas?
Boxing evening after the last mince pie had been eaten I looked at the tree and thought let’s get packing .
By 10pm Christmas had left the lounge .
My son said I’m to ruthless have pity on the nutcracker soldiers errr no all packed and stacked .
I’m really beginning to think that’s the way to go about it Ripple!
Let’s just hope those nutcracker soldiers don’t turn nasty.
Hope you tied their box down securely!
I haven’t cooked for two days! We will be having lighter meals during the next few days, that’s for sure.
