Instead, here are some photos of a spooky old abandoned narrowboat.

It’s a shame I can’t upload videos here as I was about to share a couple videos from this morning of a coot barking like a dog and a showdown at the old canal with a gang of Canadian geese.

Exciting news - big kid found (what we think is) a faint Saturn not far from a bright Venus in the night sky with little kid’s binoculars.

Right now: snacking on my wife’s cashews as she’s eaten all my pistachios.

Less exciting: driver side headlamp and brake lamp need replacing. Two years ago, I felt confident and competent enough to replace a headlamp myself, but today I was really hoping Halfords could do it for me, but they don’t have the brake lamp in stock until next week.

Exciting first day back at school as the skies suddenly opened up and dropped huge, fat flakes of snow on the kids as they waited to go into their classrooms.

Little kid ate a leftover sausage and reheated chips.

Big kid had a bowl of rice and gravy followed by two taco shells with cheese and two soft tacos fried with melted cheese.

After which he asked, “What’s for dinner?”

Had some crispy taco shells with lettuce, some chopped avocado, cucumber, red pepper and onion, and sour cream with the chilli sans carne.

Chilli was HOT!

Wife just rescued little kid who was hanging off the top bunk bed ladder.
