You'll have to tell us about it, 'cos it's gawn.

Wind has stopped completely and the rain is nearly off. Amazing change in just a couple of hours.
Some people are not getting their deliveries today anyway as the courier was badly bitten by a dog and had to divert to A&E.
I remember when I was a postie that some houses got no mail if a dog was visible. This was official policy to protect us and the punters had to come to the PO and collect their mail.
 
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 . :sad: As a matter of interest, what is the ball park price in the UK at the moment ?

Dunno about the petrol station in the village, but the next nearest one was 165.9 for diesel when I went past the other day. Last week, Tesco (cheapest in the area) was 146.9

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 :sad:

Tesco is an 11 mile round trip for me. There's a Co-op that's an 8 mile round trip, but it's both small and expensive. Nearest is the village shop at a mere 4 mile round trip, but no... just no.
 
If there's one relatively close by and you're not already a member, consider joining Costco. I filled up Mrs T's car there at the weekend and it was 149.9p for diesel. Membership £30ish so won't take long to pay for itself!

Not if you counterbalance those savings with their cakes. Apparently their cakes are quite legendary... :whistle:
 
They really are. I've been known to get through one of their colossal victoria sponges over a weekend of hard riding! :laugh:

Cake's essential for wellbeing, expensive but great value

I've never experienced their cakes personally, but some cat fancy friends up Manchester way are always on about them... I don't think we have a costco in this neck of the woods, and maybe it's just as well... :blush:
