I remember reading that the feed for battery hens comes with additives to colour the yolks to make them look more attractive. There's a sort of " Brolac style" colour chart where you can choose the exact shade of orange for the yolk. I'm not saying Booths would follow this abhorrent deceptive practice, but if they did, their colour chart would be from Farrow and Ball 😉Interesting the spoiler doesn't work on my phone but does on the laptop. You see @Mo1959 for you I even fired up my laptop!
Now I've done something very unusual for me. No, it's not arrestable. Made a pot of tea at 8.30.Yesterday I went shopping and had to pop in to Booths for a few bits one can't get elsewhere - well one can in M&S but I refuse to shop there. Sadly I can't afford to do all our shop in Booths much as I would love to. It's usually worthwhile looking round for the yellow labels but Booths leave them scattered all around the store. Anyway before you all fall asleep. I spotted eggs reduced from £4.65 for ten to £1.25. These are organic, free range, hand reared, music played to, petted twice a day from Lancashire's finest chickens. You can see why we can't afford to shop in Booths on a regular basis. I doubt even Waitrose in Chelsea sell eggs for 46.5p each!!!!
I thought those will be good boiled with toast then this morning I had another thought, tea, toast, marmalde, scrambled eggs.....They were delicious, deep orange, almost red yolks. Those chickens did a damn fine job.
OK, you can all get on with your day now. I'm off to iron.

I was thinking of a more serious scenario of a week or two
think i'll stash an old superser and gas bottles in the shed 
It was so cold the other night without heating i wore all my clothes plus thermals plus a fleece under the sheets to keep warm and even then i thought my nose might get frostbitten!

I suppose the question that really needs answering is if they do totally ban gas what happens to British Gas (or whatever they are called these days)
Also on the subject of going green I noticed a wind turbine came crashing down somewhere in South Wales a couple of days ago, you wouldn't want one of them landing on you!!

Well the brightness was short lived. Rain hitting the windows again.
I might do a jigsaw puzzle.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
We def have the calm before the storm here.
Just back from my run. I thought I’d mix it up a bit and do a few “ efforts”. I went to a quiet back area and ran half of the block hard, jog recover the other half. I worked really hard, six efforts before heading home, 10k total distance. I pressed “ save activity “ on my watch which then displayed “ Unproductive “ 😮 I told my watch to f*ck off 😁

Surprised mine isn't asking if I'm still alive! I do enjoy my gadgets though. Currently wearing an Apple Watch on my right wrist and a new Garmin Epix on my left.
Ooh! I watched the DCR review of the Epix and was tempted but it is OTT for my usage. Gorgeous display. Hopefully they will bring out a 245 equivalent with a similar OLED display 🤞Surprised mine isn't asking if I'm still alive! I do enjoy my gadgets though.
