Coffee

I’m drinking coffee now. The coffee is hot and the weather is cold here. I love coffee and pretend it wakes me up or keeps me awake, but it does neither really!

Wet & Windy

There’s some French named storm, that’s come in from the Atlantic, and it’s causing high winds in some places, snow in others, and here, it’s just squally rain, and wind gusts. It just makes being outside unpleasant.

Not So Cold Today

Today’s 41°F at 3.30 am felt almost warm compared to the 22° that greeted me yesterday.

Evil Time, Evil Temperature

Alarm went off at 03:29 and it’s 22°F outside. I can’t wait until summertime.

Holiday Season Is Done

Christmas and New Year is done. My Birthday, on 3rd January is past too, so that’s that for another year! Now, I’m looking forward to spring, warmer weather, and a break from work.

I’m up at 3.30 am all week. I was dreading it this morning, but I got up OK, and at the time of writing this - 9.45 am - I don’t feel too tired. I always say that I’ll have a nap when I get home - I finish at 1.15 pm. I rarely do though.

Right now I’m having a coffee break!

Happy Birthday To Me

Actually I don’t really bother about it that much. Post much everyone I know is broke and/or boozed out by now anyway.

Not sure what I’ll get up to today yet. We shall see.

A Bright, Cold, Day

I was awake around 5 am, but I actually managed to go back to sleep until just after 7 am. Kathy had to get up for work, but I am off until Monday.

I’ve been sorting out some music files and tidying up bookmarks in Safari this morning. Mugs of coffee and some music have helped this. The two main spare-time indoor relaxants these days

Here’s a CD I listened to while I was busy.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year. I quite like this time on New Year’s Day morning. It’s quiet everywhere. The party revellers and the pissheads from last night are still either asleep or nursing hangovers. I had a couple of small glasses of wine before midnight, and that was it, so I’m clear-headed this morning.

Aside from aircraft landing at Heathrow, it’s very quiet outside, and I can hear the birds singing. It’s a cold morning, much too cold for my liking, but at least it’s a dry, sunny, blue-sky day.

I might go out for a walk later, take a few photos. I have a break from the salt mine until Monday, which is always a good thing. First, though, it’s time to enjoy another mug of coffee.

Happy New Year!

Of course this is worldwide and we all live in different time zones but here in London England we are now in 2026. It is a few minutes past midnight and we’ve started the New Year.

We stayed at home. I finished work at 9 pm and went home at dinner. Had some cheese and wine and watched the London fireworks on the TV now it’s time to go to sleep although the neighbourhood currently sounds like a war zone with fireworks going off everywhere!

It just remains for me to say a happy New Year to all of you wherever in the world you may be.
