I use Algon .I can recommend it and affect lasts about eight to12 months A lot easier than pressure washing.

The only problem I had was having two our three consecutive dry days.

You can also get similar apply and leave stuff for in door mould problems.

Another dry sunny day but a bitterly cold wind so did not linger outdoors.
Got some stuff ready for taking out to my car tomorrow as things to do before going for a ferry.
I seem to have got the ferry booking right this time and both out and back are MV Loch Frisa which is not likely to be diverted to Lochboisdale but anything can happen.
On Sunday and Monday Tobermory/Kilchoan will be passenger only for most of the day as the small car ferry is assisting at getting rally traffic away. This does not help other travellers as they have been advised that the earliest they should consider travelling is Wednesday to avoid very long waiting times.
A parcel as appeared at Craignure addressed to somebody at Beil Heulog Barn, Builth Wells.
 
Aldi safely negotiated, though lack of choice with some things - in particularly wholemeal bread - was a little bit frustrating. I did pick up everything I wanted though, and for a comparable price to Tesco.

My one weakness was a pack of ankle sports socks from the middle aisle, but at £2.99, I can live with that :laugh:

Managed to find raspberries, mangoes and avocados on sticker, as well as two loaves of Warburton wholemeal. I'm not a fan of the Warburton's bread, but on sticker it was cheap enough and I'm not fussy.

Another vote for Algon, although last couple of years I’ve used Patio Magic. That’s good too.

Jeyes Fluid works pretty well

After being nice nearly all day, it started pouring just as I finished work but such is life.

Been to my dance class and back under the cover of an umbrella. Maybe we should be rehearsing Singing in the rain!

Now about to undo the good work I'd done on calorie reduction so far this week by eating a bag of crisps.

Broadband engineer turned up just on midday, by which time I'd finished all the domestics and was just about to go and hang the washed towels on the whirlygig so that had to wait.
All up and running about 45 minutes later and I'm now on modern world type broadband speeds. More importantly with the TV package it's £15 per month less that I was paying, although for some reason it's showing that I need to add the HD package to watch Sky Sports HD but can watch TNT Sports & Eurosport in HD. Will sort that out on Thursday.

Other good news from today - deliveries of a couple of Ebay book purchases (How to Build a Car by Adrian Newey & On That Bombshell by Richard Porter) and this year's Brewdog Advent beer calendar, plus I've sold something on Ebay for a lot more that i though it would go for.

I will also own up to the being an idiot moment of getting home and not finding my house keys in any of my pockets (again). On this occasion I was relieved to open my back gate and find them in the bike shed lock thankfully hidden from public view!

How can you even call yourself Aldis without wholemeal bread, and that German doorstop "fitness bread" that takes all the calories it gives just to chew and digest it?
