    None today. One Xmas present ordered and the waiver on a new windscreen, as a tiny crack grew substantially when the cold weather hit 🥶😱
    I also need to get on with Xmas as I am allowed to go back to work if they can provide light duties, reduced hours and no heavy lifting. I hope so but it will be strange going back having to organise my time.

    Day 1... the houses opposite still have frost on their roofs which shows they've got pretty good insulation I suppose.
