Morning. Quite cool outside at the moment but to get hot later. Car is in for it’s first service today so I’ll drop it off soon and stick the keys in their box before my walk. Hopefully shouldn’t cost much as I think it will more or less be just an oil and filter change.

Is first service no longer free? It's a long, long, long time since I bought a new car!

Warm and sunny here. Daughter and granddaughter coming later and taking MrsD to the big M&S store. I think I am feeling fit enough to have a stroll to the pub while they are out^_^

Good morning folks,
Another hot one. Yesterdays "Second Tuesday " meet up at the Kings Head in Wareham was much depleted due to signalling and Points problems on the line to Dorchester. I enjoyed a Naked Lady from Twickenham Brewery 🍺.
Trains were back to normal by the time we rolled out of the Pub so we were soon back in Poole and planning our next venue.

Good morning, woke very early as far too hot. Managed a decent sleep all the same. Our house is strange - accounts for a lot - as it's cool during the day but warms up during the night, not uncomfortably so but noticeable. When I say cool, yesterday afternoon I was doing a lot of work on my laptop, quite sedentary, and about 3.30 felt chilly in shorts and T-shirt so had to put on a light-weight fleece! :eek:

Today? I have a U3A committee meeting in an hour so mustn't hang around here for long. It's going to be an intense one, lots to discuss. After that I may do houseworky stuff though I've no motivation for that right now.......more likely to clean my bikes. Tomatoes need watering in a moment, it's hard to keep them wet enough at present. Tonight I'm off to watch the Rovers in the EFL Cup. We're playing Hartlepool, League Two. For some bizarre reason I thought it was Huddersfield which is why I bought tickets. :wacko:

:hello:

I mentioned previously that I had a successful last few years running my company and then that unexpected pension I was unaware of........gawd knows how I would be without that.

Yes, recall that. Must emphasise I'm not complaining just commenting. I can't imagine the stress millions are under so to worry a bit about my savings and spending some capital is a totally different thing. I feel very fortunate when I'm rational.

Checked our gas consumption yesterday and compared it with winter 2020/21 and last winter we dropped our consumption by +/- 30%, pretty damn good.

Must go........again!!:ohmy:

Morning all :hello:

Another hot one.
Chaos here. Gas leak in village yesterday resulting in workers erecting 4 way traffic lights to enable road works. Buses were taking an hour to travel the one mile from one side of the village to the other due to traffic.
Heavy Grockle traffic compounding the problem. Lights are still there this morning. Should be fun. :wacko:
