Not looking good for roof hole drilling today.

Not a good day of news for my finances from my email inbox.

Firstly HMRC have done my calculations for the previous tax year and I owe them just over £!000 thanks to savings interest payments (the sooner I can move everything over to tax free ISAs the better, but it will take a few years).

Secondly the TV licence reminder has arrived. I know all the arguments regarding going licence free considering how little I watch (local news & 10pm news essentially), but as it also funds one of the better news websites, Radio 5 Live, Sports Extra and 6 Music which I spend an inordinate amount of time listening to, I consider it an acceptable trade off.

Leaning wall of Normanton

reported. Walking into Derby with SWMBO I thought it about time I got around to report this leaning wall.
I contacted the DBPC (council dangerous structures) and told to submit a photo. Sent it off and they are sending an inspector today. I’m sure it’s starting to lean more each week.

I wonder it that can be fixed or if it needs to be rebuilt

I'm getting a large solar panel for boat soon, it won't power the washing machine though but will negate running engine regularly to top up batteries.

Bah humbug

 

[woodbutchmaster]

do they fight over who sits closer?

They "play fight" for want of a better description, it's just as well because they are over 28 inches to the shoulder, weigh 30 to 40 kgs and are bread to hunt and bring down wild boar which are common in this part of France. l hasten to add that l don't use my two for that activity !!

The property belongs to a garage block for private housing. I expect the council will condemn it and charge the residents, good luck with that.
