Shoe Repair

We had a collective moan about modern rubber shoes, how quickly they fall apart.  I have just retired two pairs of old shoes into gardening department.  Maybe I need to start buying shoes that are of traditional construction, aka repairable.  On the other hand, the cobbler said if you like the upper, they could glue on the new sole, even if they are not traditional construction.  Maybe I should ask about the ones I like before I have to dispose them...

Cooking Temperature

After convincing Rach to roast the joint to medium, she aimed to do so.  When I carved it up, it was carve-able, unlike some other time.  It even has a bit of pink in the middle, much like medium well.  But by the time we serve, all the pink has also been cooked out in its residual heat.  Always aim lower...

New Bromtpon

After much encouragement, Haylie bought a used Brompton.  It does look neat. A good little bike, much better than other electric alternatives.

London Town

I went to London for a work do and stayed at my friend's to hang out.  It is fun in small doses... Detox to follow.

De-icing

We already shoveled the snow when they were soft. It still took a long time to defrost Sarah's car.

I am do grateful with my heated windscreens!

Bitter Cold

We haven't had some proper cold days for a few years.  It has been very cold indeed.  I think that is more bitter is having to turn the heating on the keep the house warm!

Snow Boots II

The snow boots are back in service!  They are much superior to the welly bobs in snow and icy condition...
