The heating came on last night for the first time this year, and I have been having a hot-water-bottle for the last couple of days, which is an unforeseen pleasure that I always forget about; it really is very nice to slip down into a blissfully warm bed in a cold room :-)
I have just been going round resetting all the clocks and watches, including the central heating timer (not supposed to need resetting, but it had accumulated ten minutes' gradual error since I last changed the battery) and my cycle computer -- I hope that is all of them! Of course it helps from that point of view that two of my clocks are still stopped...
Current elapsed cycle mileage: 414 miles, namely 151 miles in the eight weeks since the end of August, or my normal average of eighteen miles a week.
