Stand by for another missed steak dinner thread, if a certain person is up there today. :smiley:
Hope he’s well stocked up with pot noodles and Lilt. :smiley:

I knew there was a risk of it so woke up a bit earlier, checked the traffic, seen Edinburgh lit up lit a Christmas tree with road events which was odd at 3.30am and decided then to get cracking.

Still plenty of time left in the bank for me at the minute :slight_smile:

0330? :open_mouth:
â– â– â– â– â– â– â– â–  to that in winter, (or anytime of the year really :smiley: )
I’d have turned over and waited to 6 until the dust (or snow :smiley: ) had settled a bit.

0330, pah… had to collect at 0300 for a 0530 tip, not impressed, but be finished by 1400 I hope.

Started at 7 this morning (as I do every day) to be told that I will only have two local trailer-swaps to do instead of the usual four. Then I’ll be off on my regular trunk run (an hour each way, plus 30 minutes or so to tip it) before returning for a comfortable 2 o’clock finish. Just the job on POETS day :slight_smile:

Still in bed.
Got Birmingham and Nottingham.

Probably

Go to work…

On Friday?

Giggle. :laughing:

Got to just shy of 40°C here, again today. Overnight temps are still a bit brisk at 20°C. :laughing:

Three of ours are en route to Livingston. Being of an err East European persuasion you’d think that snow would present no problem, oh no Siree, one is parked in a ditch, one other is not contactable and the third one (according to his forward facing camera) was trying to reverse out of a cul de sac in a housing estate! Unsuccessfully I might add.
