Still very wet and bleh here.

Chilli and rice for me and probably chilli and fries for Mr WD.

Morning all . Weather here in Coventry seems to be clearing up nicely, I might even risk putting the washing out .
No doing much today , I was going to put up my birthday present today , a nice new sail . But it’s been stuck in customs for a week ( another brexit bonus ).
So the high point of my day will be going to buy a wine box to replace the one I opened last night. It was vile, even to me and I don’t have the highest standards wine wise 😂.
It was supposed to be Australian Chardonnay but it had the odour of a toffee apple , all you could taste was caramel . I’ve never tasted any wine like it .

Still - 2 other companies coming out next week - I would rather go with a local person but it is not all that easy to find them and when you do they don;t get back to you!!!

Tell me about it.
It took me 4 weeks to get a local electrician to come out.......tried several others who didn't bother getting back to me.

We will be on beans with sausage and hash browns.

Little wander done before lunch to try and stop me sitting too much which doesn’t help my back. Healthy lunch of salmon and rice.

I might have another walk later if it stays dry, although I don’t enjoy the weekends as much. Too busy for me. I’m hoping to take advantage of a lighter morning tomorrow for a little jog.

Not true!
The change is always made in the early hours of the morning, never the night.
This to avoid having two 00:00hrs, even though technically 00:00hrs doesn't exist.

We must fight this misinformation being put out.

Mr WD and I have both received a letter telling us that we will both be getting £250 winter fuel allowance. I thought it was per household, not per person.

Means the clock in the car will be right next week.

It’s higher this year I think. A woman I used to work with phoned for a chat a few days ago and mentioned she was getting it too. Between that and the help with the actual bill she said it makes a huge difference.

It is per household, but, if there are two qualifying individuals in household, it is split between them.
