Are you trying to say Leeds is expensive?

I'm vetoing Leeds for a couple of months more because the council gave me a fine without right to appeal, because the initial letter was not sent out/not delivered. At £180 for a badly signed road diversion dumping me in a bus lane, yes, Leeds is expensive. A 6-month veto feels about right.

I was a volunteer steward at the culture

night events in the local park. Very impressed with the chock applied to a 40' trailer that the band were playing in.

I'm sure the health and safety man would approve...

Chez Casa Reynard, I *am* the soup maker. Armed with a large saucepan and a stick blender.

Thai inspired carrot, sweet potato & red lentil currently on the go here, made with coconut milk and some red curry paste from a tub I bought in the little oriental shop in town. Packs a punch, but it's sublime comfort food.

The downside of repainting room is that I know exactly how many flies are sitting on the walls and ceiling. Today's count is 10. 🪰

I know it's early, but I'm going to do an Upsy Daisy and go find my bed.

Nunnight one and all xxx

Morning time to get a few miles in just one job to do first

Probably riddled with lungworm given you said in your earlier post that it wasn't breathing terribly well. Seems to be a major issue with hedgehogs.

That was the 1st thing I thought about having seen it's effects in friends dogs.

Inspired by the announcement that a building firm won't be upholding it's promise of 'affordable housing' in a new development because apparently it's not cost effective, I wonder what is the actual criteria to qualify for 'affordable housing' and how is it proven - ?

I think it must be down to how many yachts you have ?

If I don't get up soon there's going to be an accident!

Good morning from a chilly but sunny Suffolk. It's way too early to be up and about for a Saturday, but needs must. Coffee has nearly been drunk, breakfast has been scoffed and I should be on my way in the next 15 minutes or so. It appears that there's a complete closure of the A43 at the M1 junction 15a interchange where yet another massive warehouse is being built so an alterrnative route needs to be found.

@Jenkins The A43 is shut from 15a to the A5. Probably all weekend wouldn't surprise me!

Can you get of at j15a ?
If me I would go straight across j14 then right just before Roade into Blisworrh and pick up the A43 by keeping left once you get into the village

Clear blue skies but very autumnal temperature
