Wednesday 25th January 2023

Wednesday, and another day at the coalface, though there was no coal involved.

Was supposed to be a fine day, but the cloud never cleared, and in the afternoon mist drifted in and temperatures dropped to just above freezing.

Jools started the day with heading off early for another session in the pool, and I had a good podcast to listen to. Nice to drink a fresh coffee too, with the cats settling down for a hard day's snoozing with only the occasional demand for food.

But I did go for a walk, and the ground conditions have improved so much I walked through the estate and out to the lower of the tracks before walking west to Station Road back home.

On my drive to Warrington and back, I listened to all my music in the i tunes library, so now have been searching for podcasts to listen to, and on this walk was treated to the latest The Sound of Football podcast

Meanwhile, back in our garden, the carpet of green leaves have produced their first Sweet Violet, self seeded, and so the season begins once again.

Back home I made jambalaya for dinner, with chicken, chorizo, tomatoes, spices and rice.

Not as fierce as gumbo, and takes about half the time to cook too.

Football again in the evening, though I give up at half time with Man Yoo 2-0 up against Forest.
