I'm currently wading through hm gov tax site..
Just to see if it makes more sense, I changed it to Welsh...

Eich incwm yw £11,500 a’ch Lwfans Personol yw £12,570, felly nid ydych yn talu treth.

Incwm eich partner yw £20,000 a’i Lwfans Personol yw £12,570, felly mae’n talu treth ar £7,430 (ei ‘incwm trethadwy’). Mae hyn yn golygu fel cwpl eich bod yn talu Treth Incwm ar £7,430.

Pan fyddwch yn hawlio Lwfans Priodasol, byddwch yn trosglwyddo £1,260 o’ch Lwfans Personol i’ch partner. Mae’ch Lwfans Personol yn dod i £11,310 ac mae’ch partner yn cael ‘credyd treth’ ar £1,260 o’i incwm trethadwy.

Mae hyn yn golygu y byddwch nawr yn talu treth ar £190, ond dim ond ar £6,170 y bydd eich partner yn talu treth. Fel cwpl rydych yn elwa, gan yr ydych ond yn talu Treth Incwm ar £6,360 yn hytrach na £7,430, sy’n arbed £214 mewn treth i chi.

Just as clear! 😂

Why didn't you raise the water butt?

He's apparently got it to float over a hole in the ground, so maybe that's the next stage.

If he were to raise the soil round the hole, would the butt float higher?

Hygiene, glazed windows and functioning locks?

Not always. At one agricultural show we were at the “ ladies “ was a very small shed with an old elsan. My wife came back to get her wellies because she said it was self emptying, over the top and inside the shed was smelly mud.

Nice run up around Loch Creran with very little traffic and sunshine but cold when I started.

I went for a short ride after work today. Chilly but nice to be out and I saw a gate that I must have cycled past at least fifty times! Today I took photos for posterity. Beautifully crafted in the way that only the Victorians could.

Evening.
I had to go for a blood test at 12.30. I also had to go and pick up my prescription so I went a bit earlier as I thought the chemist's closed for lunch . I went to the chemist's and discovered that they were shut ! Apparently they were shut as they didn't have a pharmacist.
It was a good job I went before my blood test as I managed to get my prescription changed to another chemist's.

That dates it between '86 to '91...

Part of the problems with Le Mans is so many spectators being three sheets to the wind before the race week even starts...

FTFY

Hmmm, you're having similar storage problems to me.

Four at most, and then the next problem is lifting the lot...

Yes. I thought I needed four. Actually need five. WHS had them on three for two. It should be a while before they get too heavy to lift given my ratio of good prints to noise…

From memory i would say 86/7
But great times and if you strayed away from the main spectator areas we could get right next to the armco

And yes a lot of people did get rather drunk for the weekend

Lamb, chickpea & coconut curry*, basmati rice and steamed greens.

Made the same sauce as the vegan sweet potato & spinach version that was in the Tesco magazine. Worked a treat with the last of the slow-roast lamb.

Didn't bother putting my blue wheelie bin out, but by neighbour has, so I'm off in a bit to furkle for newspapers...

Mmmm, well last summer I re-did my motor racing archive and spread it nicely across six files (foolscap arch lever). I now can't close three of them, so I think another three files are called for...

And lifting more than two files at a time is really not recommended...

The amazing weather continues. Had a nice three mile walk after work. Then had tea followed by a leisurely 10 miles with a long stop in the middle to watch the sun set at the stone circle.

Yr.no said the sun would set 7:58 and it had disappeared below the horizon at 7:57 according to my my watch

Is my watch slow or the earth fast

 

[Reynard]

Newspapers furkled. Got enough for my needs (lighting the fire and wrapping up kitchen waste).

Just stuck a match to the heating.
