Good morning. It is grey dull and started pouring with rain about 5.30, still the garden needs it and my water butts need filling. Every cloud. Slept well last night and despite waking early, 4.30am, feel rested for the first time in a while. This is a good thing. Today? This morning I have a "how to" IT session for our U3A, there's ironing next on the agenda after I've finished wandering around here, need to pop down to the LBS, possibly some housework and an ALDI dash. Most importantly I seem to have lost some of my cycling luggage which I was planning to use on our French tour - a BIG search effort is needed on this.
I don't often expect to get a letter but on Friday I'm expecting to receive some important documents to sign. Just read the posties are on strike this Friday. Bugger!

Is anyone else here a member of Which? I'm trying to decide if I should continue my membership, it's £153pa which is a lot. The thing that brought it to mind was the last monthly magazine. I found myself irritated by rather simplistic journalism and several articles reporting the blindingly obvious. On the other hand the reviews can be very useful before a major purchase like a phone, white goods or car........but how often do I make those????
Blimey.....Drago has Welshie in the group
My Bro used to get them and just occasionally he passed me a good tip.
As you say, £153 a year compared to what you buy/what you can save leaves some questions.

Morning. Another gloomy and wet start for us. Problem is it’s still quite warm so uncomfortable if you have to put a jacket on for the rain.
I ended up watching a Dalziel and Pascoe on the Drama channel last night. They are quite good. I’ll watch The Coroner and Whitechapel tonight.

Good morning people, yoga this morning, the instructor was on holiday last week, a dull grey morning but dry so far, for some strange reason I've been waking up tired most mornings for the last couple of weeks, its usually almost dinner time before I start waking up properly.
Our local Library has Which? Magazine on the shelf ( and New Scientist )
I’m not sure about how comprehensive and accurate some of the reviews are.

Pouring now. I ain’t going out in that!
Good morning all.
Another cloudy start to the day here in Barnet. Although no rain is forecast for today.
I shall have a bimble out on the bike later to the local grocers for a few essentials. Other than that I'm going to tidy the garden up, it's looking a bit tatty. Some domestics and other usual day to day things to be done.
