Almost time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

Sounds like a good film

We're in a remote cottage in a Herefordshire wood with a Clearview log-burning stove. The instructions assured me that the temperature dial would be registering about 400F within about 20 minutes of lighting. It decided to die instead, despite all my frantic knob, flap and slide twiddling. Relit, it has managed to stagger up to 300F after an hour and a half of nerve-wracking attention.

I don't seem to be cut out to be a fearless eco-warrier, despite being in Herefordshire wood.

Lovely supper of carrot, sweet potato & red lentil soup, followed by spaghetti, homemade Marinara sauce, lashings of Grana Padano cheese and a slice of crusty cheese bread to wipe my pasta bowl clean.

Sounds like a good film

Or the title of a novel...

Thanks to my manic feeding of the stove like the fireman tending the firebox on the Mallard, the dial is now at about 350F. I have taken a couple of bottles of Old Crow Welsh cider as a reward.

We have something in common.
Got pee'd on coming back from the station

Just back from my poetry night.

I don't think 802 is a Freeview number - they only seem to go up to 735. https://www.freeview.co.uk/corporate/platform-management/channel-listings-industry-professionals

I did a rescan yesterday and none of the HD channels have moved on my TV.

It was definitely there on 802, not 101 as I re-scanned twice to make sure. Strangely I did it again when I got home from work this afternoon and it's back to normal with BBC1 HD as number 101 and nothing in the 800s

Cue Twilight Zone music.......

A nasty and often mis-understood condition, and flare ups can be bad. I met quite a few folk suffering with fibromyalgia when I attended Pain Clinic and some mindfulness classes when I fractured my spine. Despite them being quite horrified by my circumstances, I think fibromyalgia is much worse.

It is. The wife of a former colleague in a previous job had it and she apparently suffered terribly with it. Definitely not a good diagnosis.

I didn't really know what to say him and other than wish him all the best with it. I was a bit shocked really.

I think given the weather down here in April, mention of any warm, dry, sunny conditions with light winds would have to go ion the 'News too exciting for the mundane news' thread. Late April and I could do with putting the heating on
