Well i never us Yorkshire folk always thought it was Barth.

No it must surely be Baaf?
They funny thing was on the bus they had a recording of someone calling out the stops on the route with a broad Zomerzet accent. Totally different to Wiltshire just a few miles away.

Yet another account credit refund requested from the energy company - probably the last one for a few months until the sun gets higher in the sky for the solar panels/battery and it gets warmer so the gas can go off. At least some of it will be put towards food & drink treats for myself in the run up to Ch****mas.

Hot chocolate time.

Come on you are from Meanwood not Clechuddersfax.

Come on, trivia people: what towns apart from Halifax end with an x?

I was just talking with my brother about the pronunciation of Bath as we're in nearby Bristol. I think we ended up with baths in Barth.

But they're so ashamed of finishing with an x that they can't bring themselves to pronounce it.

Drax, Box

Tha can't fit a town in a box, lad.

I grew up in a Victorian terraced house, only heating was a gas fire in the living/dining room and an open fire in the front room we didn't use the front room in the week but after work on Friday my Dad would move the telly into the front room once us kids were in bed and in winter the fire would be laid to be lit Saturday lunchtime.
My bedroom was the little 'stuck out the back' room and I was no stranger to ice on the inside of the window and whilst we weren't exactly 'poor as church mice' but neither were we well off. Most of my clothes were 'hand me downs' from an older cousin and Mum and Nan were experts in unpicking old jumpers to be knitted afresh, worn sheets would be carefully cut and turned 'sides to middle' sewed together on my Mums old treadle Singer sewing machine and I didn't own a pair of socks that hadn't been darned (some multiple times)

Sounds like my early life

Lovely supper of the last of the chicken, vegetable & noodle soup, and then shakshuka with a crusty roll for dunking.

lately been feeling kinda cozy w/ the early sunsets. like I'm less obligated to do stuff. whereas, when the sun sets late in the summer, I feel obligated to keep going & doing stuff

Alas, I'm a one-woman-band, and I have to keep the heating fed. At this time of year I like to take advantage of the good weather days and keep on top of the firewood situation. I've actually got about a month's worth of wood in advance put away - temperature dependent, of course.
