Didn't make it out today. Cold, grey, windy and my sinuses have a brand new trick: ear crackles. The kind you get with water in the ear, only I didn't shower last night so there's no way I have water in my ears. Did try to bicycle but joints would not co-operate. Has started to snow again, hence joints and possibly dull sinus ache. So heat up the bean bags and sit on the couch with yet more of the  almost inexhaustible Mrs. Bradley. Not a bad way to spend the day.

My thermostat is at 12C or so. At bedtime I bump it up to 16/61. Am double bagged all over so am pretty comfortable. The furnace, when it's on, is very on and the room gets hot. Then it goes off and the room gets cold. Tiring.

Tomorrow is the Santa Claus parade, first time since 2019, a beanfest that starts in my area and closes the main e-w drag for a few hours, and when over, clogs all the streets hereabouts as people try to get out of my neighbourhood. It's also supposed to snow tomorrow morning. Anyone with any sense would keep their kids inside while watching the thing- which has descended into one long 'sponsored by So-and-so' paid commercial shindig- on TV. OK, the marching bands are fun, though what the appeal to a three year old would be is beyond my ken.
