The milkman came at 4.07 this morning. Didn’t hear him. Land of nod. I assume he wears thermal underwear at this time of year. It’s v cold out. At least it keeps the milk 🥛 at the right temperature. Woke momentarily at five ey em and pondered getting up but the next thing I knew it was six thirty and THG had volunteered it was her turn to make the tea. Result!
Gonna have some more axe action after breakfast. Logs and kindling. Fire was a roaring success last night. At least it is dry. No snow forecast.
Have also decided to up the pace of Facebook posting for Anne’s Vans. I did one yesterday and got a lot of reaction including from an Italian woman we met at a B&B in Cape Cod. Neglected vans social media last year but this year will make up for that methinks. It doesn’t really take much time. Just needs me to slot it in.
PS
Just flicking through my Hilton app and seem to have a hotel booking in London on 16th and 17th Feb. However I have no idea what for. If anyone has a clue I’d be grateful otherwise I’ll cancel.

Just back from a swim. THG and I each had a lane to ourselves which is good. Looks like Wednesday pm could be a good time to go. Hit the steam room afterwards and I asked THG if I’d told her my story about the nude blondes in the steam room. Many times she said. Then a voice piped up from an ethereal figure just about visible through the steam. “I wouldn’t mind hearing it”. So I told it.
Many years ago I used th be a regular visitor to the European Space Agency Tech Centre in Nordwijk in the Netherlands. We used to stay in a very nice five star hotel on the sea front. One of the characteristics of hotels in Nordwijk was the all naked spa suites.
A pal of mine stayed there with his wife once when there was a beautician’s conference going on in the hotel. The place was full of young attractive women. This friend was sat next to his wife on a lounger around the pool and asked her if she fancied a stint in the steam room. She declined and he went on his own.
He stripped off and went into the steam room only to find fifteen naked blondes in there. He told me he stayed in that steam room as long as was physically possible. His wife must have wondered what happened to him. Happy days…
