I just put some diesel in my car and didn't think to check the price per ltr. until l saw my card receipt €2.11 per litre . As a matter of interest, what is the ball park price in the UK at the moment ?

There's no weather at all, here. Grey, no wind, no rain, no sunshine.
Might just turn out nice later, though ☀

went out this morning thinking our last cat wanted to go out (he did not) but it was super quiet outside. no distant sounds of traffic, no wind, no roosters crowing, no dogs barking. it will snow lightly today; wonder if that's related to the calm?

I just got news that I will be taking part in a bike repair workshop in a few weeks, partly as assistance and partly to help me learn / improve my bike repairing skills. As one of the options for my contract being extended is taking over the bike shop this looks promising...

I paid 177.0p yesterday and our island prices are usually 10p more than mainland. I have seem motorway prices quoted higher than I paid here.

Pretty much the same as here if you convert sterling to euros , going to be big problems since France is a big place and shops etc are usually far apart . My closest supermarket is a 20 km round trip

Bright and breezy here chez Casa Reynard - and definitely milder than yesterday.

I have had a quiet morning, but I will need to sort out some firewood before rain is forecast to move in later in the week. The long range forecast seems to be for mild days but chilly nights.

The book I won in the Bay of E auction has turned up. I shall enjoy looking through that. And the friend I meet for dog walks gave me a lovely motor racing book yesterday. She volunteers for a local charity shop - the book hadn't sold and was going to be thrown in the recycling.

It is almost time for luncheon.

My closest proper supermarket is a nearly 50 mile round trip plus a ferry journey.
