Did you check Ecotricity? 100% green energy, and pretty competitive. The few extra pounds you may pay per month compared to coal fired suppliers are really worth it. And their customer service is brilliant!

Good! Carling would have brought out more green faces.

Carling Stag-Now there's a green face for you.

Hill Wimp has gone to bed and I may have accidentally eaten a couple of her biscuits, but shush, don't tell her

I think you've got away with it. Or them....

Ooh, I love parkin! The treaclier and gingerier the better.

Tindalls in Tideswell do an amazeballs parkin!

I first had it as a child on bonfire night. Come to think of it, it was probably the first time I ever had a baked potato too. Parkin is actually an energy bar invented before anyone had ever heard of one.

I'm really worried about Madge's new look

View attachment 150079

Madge said something the other day about returning Crown Rule to the United States. Do you think that offer still stands?

Oh, Dang, it's just that Andy Borowitz having a wind-up again. If it isn't, I want to be Assistant District Officer.

One way to get a navy, with aircraft carriers.

It seems to be dark outside.

After last night's Chinese meal with Gravel there seems to be a problem with my bathroom scales

It only seems to be dark? It's now a regular occurrence.... roll on the time when it isn't! It does sound damp out there though.

As for scales, I normally avoid them but during my entirely successful Sober October, I measured myself a couple of times and did discover I lost a couple of pounds.... problem is that mince pie season is just about to start so I think it will be quickly reversed!

If you are unwell then there are further questions such as how long it lasted and if it's a cold (man flu), or flu. I've avoided the flu for a couple of years now, I assume I'm overdue a bout of it. Last time I had it I felt awful ... for ages, and it takes a long while to feel better! I hope you are plying him with hot drinks and sympathy

In February this year I felt horrendous and it took a long time to get over it, I put it down to the worse cold I have ever had or a virus, many told me it was flu and yes it may well have been. I haven't known TVC to be this bad with a co!d so flu sounds plausible. He is sleeping a lot which is all he can do.

 

[Lullabelle]

I hope he feels better today. I had a flu jab last week and am still feeling rotten from it....but I guess a week of feeling below par is much better than full blown flu.

hope you soon feel better.

I was taught to allow 'squeeze-out' of Cascamite to dry then chisel the excess off by the Cabinetmaker who was my chief lecturer.

I was trying to think of that glue yesterday, I seem to remember that it came in powder form and that you mixed it with water.

My sinus has come out in sympathy with TVC, well, I hope it is just my sinus

Anyway, breakfast is over, better get sorted ready for work. Have a good day everyone
