I think sitting back and waiting to see what happens is the best policy for now. Changing suppliers won't do any good as they are all putting up prices.

And of course, making sure we turn all non necessary things off and other measures will help hopefully.

I shall be like scrouge and go round after Mr WD turning everything off.

Back from a 6.3 mile hilly walk in the pouring rain. Even with full waterproofs on they were starting to give up the fight. I always feel good getting out though. Will enjoy my porridge now.

Morning. Back to mist and rain for us today. I can't see the hills the mist is so bad.

Stay safe peeps

Sounds more like fog than mist.

Mrs Tenkaykev is in the midst of planning our May trip to Leeds / Tyneside and is looking at accommodation in the Gateshead / Newcastle area. Looking at the usual Premier Inn / Travelodge / Hilton options she noticed that Easyjet have diversified into budget hotels. Looking through the available options she noticed an option to "upgrade your room to one with a window" 🤔

Morning all

MrsDs new Samsung Galaxy tablet arrives today. I was getting fed up with her moaning about her old Huawei playing up, so told her to get a Samsung. The following day, my old Galaxy TabA started playing up! Just ordered myself a new one. This old one, bought 7 years ago has given good service but I should have bought the next model up with greater storage. New one is 128gb.
Got to clear the garage out today to make space for the gas man. They're currently digging up the road and laying new gas mains. They need access to our gas meter, which is at the top end of my garage, in order to connect the new pipe. Should be fun.

Bought one a few months ago to replace an iPad that could no longer be updated which, in turn, stopped a couple of 'critical' Apps from updating eg Spotify.

Last Apple product we will ever own - bloated prices and Apple get tired of updating them (happened to 2 iPhones as well some time back).

Galaxy Tab was a very good price and is very easy to set up and use.

Morning folks its a grey old day out there this morning. Have been perusing climbing roses, i need a shortish one for training around windows and a taller one for the end of the house both have sunny aspects. Think i'll go for an old favourite 'Dublin Bay' for the short one and possibly 'Mermaid' for the taller one, i like the contrast between the two. I hope the council wont mind me drilling holes and putting in screws to hold wires on

Could be either.

Could be either.

Can you see less than 1000 metres?
Yes, it's fog
No, it's a mist.

Morning all... Mo, can you translate this for me please....

...I'm also dreading the energy price rises, at the very very last resort I might have to get a part time job

Enjoy your day folks!

No, it's a mist.

I think fog is low lying cloud and mist is water vapour rising from the ground.

Might be wrong though.

Yes, it's not at all common. I had all the letters and guessed the answer on the basis that adding a sixth letter at the front gave something quite similar.
