The inability to escape the horrid news and direction the world seems to be going.
The non-stop wind and rain.
It’s all a bit much at the moment.

In my stress induced brain fug last week, I stupidly ordered a part thinking it would solve a problem on the S60.
It won’t.
Not paying Volvo main dealer prices to sort it either.

Meanwhile, the S60 is sort of broken, looking sorry for itself and in the naughty corner until parts turn up.

Did I put ‘Living on the Highway’ on one of the Rustival playlists?
Ooooof it’s a belter.

It’s a miserable day/evening.
Only a few ales and some vinyl will lift the mood.

What is this thing where everyone is sharing lots of photos from 2016?
Maybe I’m overthinking it but I think it’s to feed more photos into AI for one reason or another.
I certainly won’t be joining in.

It’s been a bit of a weird day.
I’ve felt sad for most of it. Feeling trapped in my own head, if you know what I mean?
It’s an emotional week anyway as it’s 5 years since we lost Dad, but it’s not just that.
The world is shite and life just isn’t where I want it to be.
Tomorrow is a new day.

Just brought Dads ashes home. It’s 5 years on Sunday since we lost him and Mum hasn’t felt ready to do it until now.

Local idiot who, for many years, has flown through the village at stupid speeds, finally gets slowed down by sheet ice from a leaky water main.

Might knock some copper nails into the tree out the front.
We’ve been feeding the birds more than usual through the cold snap They need all the help they can get. Lots of them sit patiently in said tree.
The downside is that the S60 looked like a plasterers radio until about 10 minutes ago.

Just locking up and I get looked at by one of the 3 foxes we get in each night, hoovering up some of the nuts we put out for the birds.
Sorry for interrupting, you may go about your business.
