Feeling very bleurgh this morning.

Didn't help that got woken up stupidly early by the phone ringing, but don't know who it was as it's not anyone on the list of known numbers and it had stopped ringing by the time I got downstairs.

We have found a home for the little black kitten we found. The Fragrant MrsP’s best friend, who has a young cat, is going to be his new servant. She’s very excited.

The cooling towers at Ironbridge power station were demolished today. I couldn't get over there to watch but did get a view from Lyth Hill of them folding up into pink dust. I was a bit surprised at how many people turned out to see it from this far away.

It was a bit far away for my camera to do it justice. The BBC got some nice footage though:

MrsPete put the 15² Tog winter duvet on the bed yesterday.
Wayyyyyy too hot last night!

We are still using the 4 tog summer one

We are still using the 4 tog summer one

I would be, as well... 👍🏼
An astute manufacturer would make quilts with a different Tog value for each person. 4 Tog for me.. 125 Tog for MrsPete

So I was commanded to get the Christmas decorations out of storage today. They are now going up. It's far too early for my liking. What's wrong with putting them up on the 24th?

Ours went up today, they go up the weekend before my birthday.

Similar rule for us - the weekend before the BIL's birthday.

Good job Mrs F isn't working at the moment (made redundant recently) - lots of various parcels arived today. 25 litres of snow foam for my lad (for washing his car), Planet X torque wrench (pressie from my daughter - off to Santa now), dent puller (to sort out a door dent my lad's car got in the last week - he's not happy) and an IP camera which was free.

We had a 'nanny cam' for a few years, but the manufacturers stopped cloud storage over the summer. We weren't aware as nana is in a nursing home now, and the camera was in her house. Brought camera home to use in my garage and it wouldn't connect. Googled and found burried in the manufacturer's suport that they had stopped supporting the camera. Argh.... then read, fill in this form and we might be able to send you a new one. Did that, and a new camera arrived today. Going to put it in the garage as added bike security and for watching my bikes all day Comes with 2 way communication, and a siren - I can see some pranks to play on my son coming up.....

Because you end up with a cold air gap when you snuggle up together .
