I worked in a TV repair workshop in the early 1970's, I remember the old TV's, valve chassis and a CRT picture tube, the bigger ones weighed half a ton and put out almost as much heat as a one bar electric fire.

Mo (and other walkers).
Aldi, next Thursday.
Merino walking socks. 2 pair for £6.99.

Auntie sorted now. Heavy rain has arrived. Time to curl up with my book.

Oh WOW! Great! Thanks for the heads up Dave

Geeeeeeeeez it's wet and cold here. Wood burner is in full swing. Had to pop into town for meds, banking and bits for the California trip. Stopped to pick up a couple of bags of red..................the cost of living!! Gone from £7 bag to £12. Ah well, it's Friday. G&T time soon.

I sent it down. Glad you like it

It dried up here and the sun came out. Another walk done. The last one for the month. I’ve averaged nearly 9 miles a day. That’s a lot of walking this month but I’m not going to do nearly as much next month. I’ll try and freshen the legs up and then see if I can get some gentle jogging started again.

Thank you so much.

Posh!

That's me

 

[PaulSB]

Well I'm disappointed no one bit........ or perhaps I had a misspent youth? 🤔 More likely. So a couple of bags of red was in fact smokeless fuel...........not a suggestion Mrs P and I are partial to a bag of Red Leb on a Friday night.

Sun is out now. Were it August or even early September this would be a beautiful evening to sit out.

Have you read your meters? No? Good. What is this media inspired meter reading frenzy? As if the nation will sit down and calculate the next energy bill to four decimal places. While I'm on it why are we sold energy in pence and four decimal places? Ridiculous.

 

[Mo1959]

I haven’t bothered. I put a reading in at the beginning of the month anyway.

Yep, me too on the 19th of the month. Not that it makes the slightest difference as BG will feck it up regardless. I've made a formal complaint to BG and looking forward to taking them to the ombudsman.

Morning all

Up early in readiness to drive the 185 miles up to Dudley this morning.
I'd rather lick the pavement.

 

[Dave7]

Whats happened ??? No on on since Paul at 18.51 yesterday.
I was up at 0600. Pitch black!! Cold but not as bad as expected.

Mo....we had jacket spud with the chilli. Very nice it was too.
