Blogtober - Post 11! 🚗 🚗 🚛

-

    For the first time in ages the motorway was quite noisy last night. It made it quite difficult to go to sleep, and although I tried drowning it out with meandering thoughts and breathing techniques, it just kept on going. In the finish I just allowed myself to listen to it, following the rise and fall and tone of the varying rumbles and hums, and eventually it faded to nothing and I dropped off soon after.

    Ever since the first lock-down started the roads around here have been much quieter than they used to be, as I imagine they have been everywhere. But even now, during the day there is less traffic, and the nights are noticeably more peaceful, so to have it noisy again was a bit of a distraction. The cold night and wind direction probably played it's part too. 

    I started a new project earlier today and I hope to have some photos of it to show you tomorrow. 

    One really strange thing from today is that at least twice I found myself thinking about the "Battlestar Galactica" remake. I know I watched it but it didn't really make that much of an impression on me, so why it was in my head I have no idea!

    See you tomorrow!👋😐

    It’s the same with songs. You get a snippet in your head and then it’s with you all day. Sad that the traffic noise has increased again. It’s like us with the planes. So quiet and peaceful during covid. Now they are back again.

      Yes, we've noticed the planes too! There are sometimes so many in the sky at once I wonder how and why so many people would be travelling all at the same time?

Blotober - Post 2!

    You would think that with it being a Sunday, I would have had plenty of opportunities to post my intended Blogtober post. But no. I haven't even touched a computer today until now because there always seemed to be something else to do! And I don't suppose any of it was particularly important. Ever have days like that?     So instead of that post I'm going to do a Sunday Waffle. A quick ramble about the day and anything else that pops into the noggin as I type. Minus the swear words. Probably.       It was pretty grim when I got up, it looked like it had rained🌧️ all night, but the sun soon came out☀️ and it was bright till about early afternoon when the clouds started gathering. Somewhere across the road someone had lit a garden fire, smoke blowing up the road so at least this time we didn't get the stink of it.🔥     We did have a fab dinner at lunch time! Rib Bones in a sticky Chinese sauce served with mash, peas and carrots. Golly it was yummers!!😋 😋I haven

     Hello! I'd like to start by asking a few questions to those of you who have been using silicon-handled hooks longer than I have.     In the last few days I have notice that the hook I'm using most has developed a weird ickieness to the handle. It's not sticky or rough, just not right. My others don't feel like this. I even washed it the other day and if anything it made it slightly worse.      Could this be a reaction to the hand-cream I use in the evening to lessen the roughness of my fingers? Is there a way of fixing the issue, and is there a best way of storing and caring for this style of hook? Comments and solutions would be most appreciated.😀     I finished reading "The Tears Of The Salamander" Monday night, and tonight I will start reading something else. I'm just not sure what yet, it may end up a point and grab situation. Whatever it is I probably won't have read it before and I'll let you know what I choose.      Yesterday I mentio
