Not sure if I'm calculating this properly. Let's say you have to put 40 litres in the tank at the start. And you used 10 litres for the job. You had to put another 10 litres in to fill it up at the end. Who pays for the 30 litres at the initial fill up?

It's been a really cold, four-seasons-in-one-day kind of day here chez Casa Reynard, but with the addition of a biting NW breeze.
Did not sleep well, as my back had seized up. Ah well, hey ho. Rattled through the chores, dodging some fairly biblical showers, and yes, it was slippy underfoot too.
Lovely luncheon of a toasted ciabatta roll with cheddar & smoked kipper pate, a tangerine, a pear and a
Topped up the firewood in the house, then I treated myself to a nice long soak in the bath as I was feeling so very cold. It was lovely just to relax in the blissfully hot water and read.
Have spent the rest of the afternoon / early evening watching action from Milano Cortina and doing some writing.

Fancy if you joined a local rowing club looking for a good argument and it turned out not what you expected?
You'd get a better go at that if you joined a cat club.
Ever wonder why I haven't?

For a main line, it's actually pretty quiet. Passenger traffic is usually two or 3-car DMUs, plus freight hauled by (mostly) class 66 locoa, which probably is the bulk of what goes up and down here. It's nothing like the main arteries into major cities, where something rumbles past every few minutes.
You don't actually notice the passenger traffic (the trees damp down the noise), but you can definitely feel the bigger freight trains coming through, as the house vibrates. When we still had analogue TV, it used to make the picture jump and jiggle.

Time to feed the cat, and then it will be time to feed me.
Yes, the normal alternate to it being full is to return it with the same amount of fuel in it although that can be pretty awkward to estimate when filling up hence the full tank approach often employed.

Just had some tie on the carpet with Georgie. He was rolling around whilst we were having our tea. He kept stopping and looking up at me so I got down and joined him. Plenty of ear rubs ended abruptly as he started clawing and biting me. I wasn't the only one who got it arls he then attacked his tail.

A necessary supper of leftovers from the fridge. Of which there are now none left. Also had a big bowl of "everything" soup and a load of tortilla chips to dunk.

Shouldn't affect my claims too much as if there's a problem it's normally with connections at Peterborough. Outbound delays are 1 hour, homebound are 2 hour thanks to the frequency of the trains. Thankfully I've not had to submit one for a while.
