First cuppa left too long as it was cool 😎 rather than hot .

Oh! Another realisation at just how out of touch TV presenters are. The government say that 1 in 15 cars have illegal number plates so probably that is more like 1 in 7. The presenters said that if caught they should be banned. Most likely the reason why they have an illegal number plate is that they are already banned.
Am I the only devious person to think that?

They maybe mean illegally spaced? I know you're not supposed to alter the spacing on your reg to make it look like your name, etc.

No its some coating which makes speed cameras etc unable to read them.

Good morning from a soggy and still fairly dark Suffolk. There's been quite a bit of rain overnight/early this morning and occasional showers continue.

Coffee has been had and it looks like today will be a mostly indoor day of domestics.

Postie deliveried a new power bank, years since i bought one. This was on offer at Argos but sold out when I looked but the same price direct from the manufacturers eBay store. Somewhay different to old ones it says exactly how much charge it had and how long it will last.

Time for a break from the domestics as all that's left to do is the kitchen floor and I need to decide what to do or where to go while it dries. The car's not been used in a month so taking it for a run up the A14 to Stowmarket and back to put some charge in the battery is the likely option.

Coffee and a sausage roll first though.

Snooze has been snoozed 💤 👌

Nearly two hours after it was steam mopped the kitchen floor is still far from dry.

Good news is that the car, despite being 10.5 years old on its original battery and a diesel that needs a bit of oomph to turn over, started with no problem after a month of inactivity - no doubt helped by fairly mild temperatures and the solar panel battery maintainer. There was also a loud graunching sound at the end of the road as the brake pads cleaned off the discs.

Only went as far as the Suffolk Food Hall to get mum & stepfathers' Ch****mas pressie as they enjoy the breakfasts over there and to treat myself to some quality sausages.
