With the price of gas going nuts im going to sweep the chimney this week and start using the fire in the dining room, which I haven't done for a few years. I may get a heater like that for the bedroom.

To be fair the price of gas could rise tenfold and I could atill well afford it, but the I see it the less pennies in someone elses account and the more in mine the better.
I recommend 2 things..
1. Not sure its still legal but get a brush and shove miniD up the chimney ^_^.
2. I recommend this tower heater. So quiet but very effective.

In other news.
MrsD is fighting back.
She battled up and down the stairs twice yesterday.
I had to stay behind/in front of her as she clawed her way up but she did it....I was proud of her.
A friend is picking her up at 1200. A local pub has a lunchtime cabaret, lunch and bingo......GO GIRLS ^_^
That’s great news Dave. I was talking to a lady on one of Mrs Tenkaykev’s “ Walking for Health “ walks, she’s recently moved to a GFF and mentioned how she was starting to realise how much exercise she’d previously got just with walking up and down the stairs in the course of a normal day.

Good day all.
Right @classic33 ......last nights weird dream.
I owned a pet Giraffe. It quickly grew too big so I decided to get rid of if by putting it in the bin (yes I know:wacko:).
It stuck its head out as though to say "what are you doing to me" .....so I took it back out.
Next thing it was full grown and a real problem.
No idea what happened to it.

Over to you Classic^_^
Dave7 you need help . PROFESSIONAL HELP :laugh:

I agree with that. My "our' problem is getting her to do it every day. Its so much hard work.

Morning all :hello:

First mug of tea being consumed as we lie in our huge caravan bed - bigger than king size - looking out at Bredon Hill in the distance. There's a bit of blue sky around. Eeee this is the life!
Taking doggie for a walk on Malvern this morning. Dropping in to mooch around a caravan shop and then meeting some mates from Redditch for lunch at the Drum & Monkey.

Back a nice 5 mile walk. Just stuck to the flat today and went along the riverside trail. Nothing very exciting apart from a Heron sitting on a stone trying to catch breakfast. Very peaceful. Sadly by afternoon it will be busy with the schools being off so I will find somewhere else to walk later. Enjoying my walking just now. :smile:

Puzzle game procrastinator!
Shocking realisation...

I have been at my sister's house in Devon for a week. We have had sunshine every day. She has a lovely sloping elevated terraced back garden with views of rolling wooded hills.

Q: How many hours a day did I spend out there on average?

A: Zero! I only saw the garden once when I looked out of a rear window on the way upstairs for a post-ride shower.

I have slipped into isolation in Todmorden during the Covid-19 pandemic. I have spent months in one room with the curtains closed. It appears that I am carrying the depressing habit around the country with me! :sad:

I am heading back today. I bet that the weather turns as soon as I get back to Yorkshire/Lancashire!

I must get my CX bike sorted out before winter. It is the only bike I have with proper mudguards. I don't want to spend even more time stuck indoors on the turbo trainer!
