Off out for 1st 0 deg dog walk of the year.
Should be ok frost wise the areas to watch have been dry for a few days. Soon find out.

I will confess to having turned over when the alarm went off & going back to sleep. So today's walk (@27F) meant we encountered people Cassie hasn't ambushed before. No squirrels were in evidence but she barked at a sheep & two Shetland ponies. Later in the walk her ears pricked up at the sound of children's voices. They turned out to be afraid of her, although out with grandparents walking the dog! Grandparents provided the required fuss, however

My eagerly awaited gas struts for my bootlid have finally arrived.

I must fit them and hopefully reduce the number of headaches. Having a bootlid fall on your head is an over-rated pastime.

Really 😲😲😲... That's wrong on so many levels.

It's part of the naturalisation process. Mind you it's better no-one has to share my apartment tonight.

However, remember the UK recently gave the world this...

Sunny morning and 4.6C outside.
I will go back to the library and get a change of books this morning as the last lot I got turned out to be not very interesting when I skimmed through them at home.
Should get out on trike later but the sun is too low for safety on the road so may try an off road unless my hands freeze too much when setting off. The front tyre also needs a bit of air which will probably freeze my fingers.

Correspondence from OVO Energy which may explain some of the recent debacle. It got to me ok but the address is mangled. All the bits are there but in the wrong order. This means that a stranger ie a meter reader will probably go and read somebody else's meter about half a mile away.
I have the same problem with one mail order firm I deal with who insist the postcode given is somebody else's address.
Why can they not just put the address they were given rather than mangle it and make it nonsense?

Have you checked your details on the Post Office's system? An error there will mean anyone using their system will get it wrong.

I've swept and mopped the apartment and had lunch; fried bacon and noodles with Sauerkraut.

Your culinary skills are improving then?

Anyone tried it? The one in the video looked a bit like a MRE.

I have a question for the cc members, why doesn't my car remote unlock our house front door?
I must have stood pressing the remote pointed at the and couldn't understand why the front door didn't unlock....

It's like when the batteries go flat you just break in with a hammer....😁

That indeed is the problem with the mail order company but EVO you would expect to be up to date.
Older software has this problem.
The mail order people claim to have fixed the problem but while the payment address is correct the delivery one is not.
The only way I have found is to phone my order and speak to an actual person.

First batch of mince pies for the year made, and even though I say it myself, I make a bloody lovely pastry,
