I've used .49p worth of gas and electric today
Yet I've paid .67p on standing charge
That's the rotten thing about the standing charge.
Even if you use no energy whatsoever, the energy companies still make money out of us. And remember, the standing charge, levied by the billing companies has nothing to do with the actual transmission of the energy. They are just a billing company. Money for nothing.

Morning. Another new month beginning. Just feels like a few days ago since I last said that. Time is going way too fast.
Only around 5 degrees here so the beginnings of autumn are definitely making themselves felt. Only just getting light. Perfect morning for my hilly walk I think.
I enjoyed The Coroner and Whitechapel last night and will catch up on Shetland tonight.

Morning all, a bit overcast outside.
All the usual things to do today, plus a trip to the Vet for Millie. When she had her booster jabs earlier this year, on the associated check up, the Vet. noticed a slight heart murmur. So this is a 6 month check to see if, 1, it's still there, and 2, has it got any worse. She needs some more Librella for her arthritic joints anyway.
Now, the first decision of the day is what to have for breakfast? Egg and bacon sandwiches, cereal with some berries, hmm, choices choices.
Enjoy your day everyone.

Morning again. Pleasant 6 mile hilly walk done. Really quite chilly but bright and some low mist hanging in the valleys making it rather nice.
Any fun guys tell me what the orange things are?

Morning all.
Had to take a break for a few days.
My old doggie took a turn for the worse last Saturday and we had to have her put down.
MrsD and I have been devastated.
RIP Dottie my faithful friend.
Best dog we ever had.

Oh no. So sorry. It never gets any easier losing a much loved pet does it
I hope once the worst of the pain is over, you can remember all the good times.

Morning All. Been arsing about and now running short of time. Beautiful day in Lancashire but a touch autumnal, need my autumn gilet this morning. Heading out shortly for a 2.5 hour get my buddy fit ride. It'll be interesting to see how this goes. I suspect for the next one I may have to go on my Kinesis with 35mm gravel tyres to slow me down and give me a tougher workout otherwise I'll either be way ahead or easing off. No point in either especially when trying to help out a friend.
Catch you all later

Definitely the feel of seasons changing outside….a cooler feel.
Managed a nice 44miles out to meet a pal yesterday - it still felt warm - and plot a plan…next year, barring any mishaps, we are planning do Lôn Las Cymru, from Chepstow (he read that the Gospel Pass is a worthy route!)…..& we will aim for 5 days, with some/all/tbc camping involved.
Furniture moving today, beers tonight, & a long weekend heading to Manchester, pack DDs stuff in hers and our car, move her to Edinburgh, overnight, then back via Manchester to drop her b/f back. A fun but exhausting trip, for sure…
