Struggled to get out of bed. Was supposed to drop Jay's drill machine back at his place but the weather was so bad I waited an hour for it to subside before I could bring myself to bring the motorbike out of the shed and ride over to South Belfast! Picked up groceries and headed back home. Shruti made chicken fried rice out of the last of the Christmas leftovers. Nichola came over and picked us up, and as the rain had subsided and the sun was out, we went for a walk around waterworks instead of going for coffee. We spotted Conor walking Pablo up cavehill road, called out to him and he joined us for a round of waterworks too. We then grabbed coffee and brownies at cHILL with Nichola, before heading home. I rode out to South Belfast again, this time to buy a pair of winter glvoes as my current pair had the gore-tex layer detach. Winter gloves were super expensive though, at with gore-tex gloves starting at over £150! Instead, I ended up buying silk inner gloves for a tenth of the price, with the refund I was supposed to get for a defective pair of overgloves. Hopefully that sorts me for the winter. Spent the rest of the evening syncing the photos I had added/updated from one hard disk to another.
