Blog2026 ≫ Reassuringly frosty

Up early for Runuary 1 day three, following Dryanuary 2 day two. Went to bed way earlier than everyone else again so slightly disturbed by them going to bed. They all watched the finale of Stranger Things but I have not enjoyed it, not thought itwas as good as everyone says. I read books instead, finished a fairly poor 1960s set crime story that I picked up in a charity book pile. Then read a Peter Swanson crime novella in one go and started on Slow Horses. The TV series looks to be quite faithful to the book so far so the first one is very familiar.

Won twenty-five quid on the premium bonds. This is not looking like the reliable pension I was expecting. It's mostly down to interest rates, prize rates drop when interest rates go down.

Donald Trump has actually invaded Venezuela.

Might be on time for parkrun today.

Sunny and a moderate breeze, -4 - 3℃.
