LOCAL WEATHER NOW AND FORECAST FOR TODAY
==============================
The only precipitation, probably snow, is up in Scotland today.  
 As usual earlier my old weather station lost all the data and i had just dashes instead of figures on the display.  It has recovered now and at -5.6c that by our standards is C C Cold. 
On the weathercam with the sun yet to make its presence felt its a clear day and hopefully it will be one of those bright sunny ones. 
This road cam shot from Finland with its snow and -10c air temp this morning rather puts things into perspective!

Local weather forecast today

Hill Fog Nil.
Max wind above 400m Variable 10mph.
Temperature Valleys:Minus 5 rising Plus 6 Celsius

 The prediction of a cold night looked likely   
as i snapped these couple of photos as it got dark last night from the weathercam

Yesterday was a bathroom project day and it went well allowing for a couple of unexpected challenges it is wending its way inexorably to be finished in the near future.  
It is my sad duty to report however that Aldi bathroom fresh air spray will never make it as a deodorant! After shaving and revelling in our new shower I dried myself and searched amongst the debris on the windowsill  which has some of the contents of the recently removed wall cabinet on it. Picking up a spray "deodorant" tin i casually made my underarm a soggy mess, instantly recognising that, this was not deodorant.  
The search for deodorant continued and passed WD40 and gap filler tins before i gave up and used Sally's roll on! - - - 
 Great shot across the river yesterday just before starting on the bathroom 
Sally looks to be praying but she is only helping sort out a problem with our friend Sharon's gas meter.  This could only be a "woman's task!"  because she is also on the phone to the gas company - - -multi tasking is not a mans thing!

  Cats never tire of playing do they? I'm not sure what LM thinks is under there but he spent a good 5 minutes throwing the mat around not long ago 
He would get underneath it and if i touched the outside he would go bananas trying to grab my hand! 

My attention has been focused on the bathroom project for a while now but i have finally started playing around again with the computer in my man cave shed,
Yes Yes i know its strange to have a computer in your shed but there we are.  I put it in there primarily to hitch up a couple of cameras to it.  One would look down the side of Boris and coupled with a floodlight catch any attempts to steal or interfere with him at night.  The other would look up the garden.  
The computer developed a problem when a windows error kept coming up and a dialogue box would appear, eventually the machine would stop working.  I sussed the problem to be that the error was not just popping up once but would replicate itself until the memory was exhausted then the machine would fall over and die.  Looking into the error it was a windows .exe application that kept coming up.  I gingerly found it deep inside the Rundll32 folder and renamed it, hoping this would resolve the problem and not cause any untoward further windows error.  I think the app is something to do with the Net.Framework stuff which helps your applications work.  It seemed to work OK for the rest of the day - - - only time will tell - - -
