Up to the daughter’s to ‘oversee’ the electrical work - i.e. make the guy a cup of tea and give him cash. I then set to, inexpertly slapping some plaster in the raggles. 
Later, up town - for February’s films are coming at us thick and fast, and I really didn’t want to miss Loveless as Zvyagintsev’s The Return is in my 'top films of all time' yada yada. So I saw it. And blimey wasn’t disappointed - no, not grim, more just heartbreaking. And a bit grim. 
Still, look here - the days are lengthening; winter may be beginning to slip away. Though my Met app seems to permanently have a yellow snow and ice warning. I won’t discard the thermals yet.
