      Right, I'm taking the Toyota for a service and to have its back brakes checked: I suspect they're sticking slightly (again) which causes some very unpleasant vibration over about 60mph until one's maintained that speed for about eight miles

        Car left, and a detour on the walk back to pick up this month's prescription medicines making a total walk of 1.14 miles, according to the Apple Watch

        Oh, and before all that, lunch was a bacon cob (wholemeal)

          Today's flatulence reached such proportions that I was forced to use the trap in this building for the first time ever.

          I think I'd have been ok but for holding it in whilst others were in my office.

            Ribs and chips for tea

              This evening's dinner/tea was some more of yesterday's roast beef.

              It was ok in a similarly mediocre way.

              This evening's epic was "Harry Brown(2009)" with Harry Palmer Michael Caine.

              Harry Brown (2009) - IMDb

              It was rather good & would have been rather better but for the disc error at 01H21 to 01H23 which even the fecking playing anything that will spin wouldn't play.

              Finally managed to FR to the end of the problem & play the rest.

              I wouldn't mind but the 100s of 2nd hand dvds have played faultlessly while this £5 one is fecked.

              Ho hum.

                Good film

                Shame about the disk

                Tonight's main feature here was rudely interrupted by Virgin Media suddenly dropping my Internet connection, which they expect to have restored by eight in the morning

                They often manage better than the estimate, but I'm not sitting up waiting for them

                So the film will have to be watched tomorrow, assuming they've managed to sort themselves out by then

                I did go to stream it over the iPad's 4G data connection instead, but it turns out the iPad's data ran out at Christmas and, as I've only used it on wi-fi since, I hadn't realised. And attempting to top it up gave me an error page saying the service was unavailable but they hoped to have it working again soon

                All in all, not a good night for technology anywhere

                Goodnight all

                  Good morning all!

                  In sunny Worcester - drive down this morning was horrible!

                  Hoping to get home again tonight, got a kitbag with me just in case.

                  Have a good day all!

                    Morning all haven’t looked out the hotel window yet, but I suspect it’s cold, damp, murky and miserable here in the land of the weegies.
