My ebay purchase of Shimano Winter Road boots has arrived. Can't have been used more than once or twice as there are hardly any marks on the sole. They are the same as my MTB boots I already have. Just £40

May I ask you a question, but don't answer it if you do not want to. How much are you paying per unit of electricity? I am asking this as I recently found out about someone with a prepay meter who is currently paying £50 approx more per week for electricity. I pay not much more than that for a whole month.

It looked like he lived in a small flat. That seems too high. Okay so he might have a poor credit rating, but even so, I do not understand how he is paying so much. It did not look like he would spend hours on a computer gaming machine. His one evening out, per week, is to a local social club to play dominoes or something similar, or it might have been card games and he has two drinks.

These are the current unit rates for me.

I've no idea what's going on with your friend. £50 would last me a couple of months for electricity but, as I said, heating is on the rent so it's only for lighting, cooking and (I forgot this bit) hot water.

It isn't a friend of mine, it was on the regional BBC news, last week, I think.

So if he is paying 40 pence per unit, he would be using 100 units a week.

Or if he is using 7 units a day, so 50 a week, that is £1 per unit.

I guess he is paying something in between those two figures.

Time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

Someone visited me yesterday, and she tried to say "hello" to Kizzy. Kizzy was distinctly unimpressed, and then yawned. "Oh, she's tired", said my guest.

That is not what a cat yawning means is it?

Perhaps they are growing exotic plants ?

Does anyone else get fed up repeat adverts onTV.

Currently there is an advert for EMR that seems to come up constantly.Perhaps they should also say when there will be no service due to the rail strikes

Yeap two that annoy me.....

Nationwide in not doing ok.

What model!

Could do with some myself rather than overshoes!

just googled this - Cats yawn for a variety of reasons, but it's often connected to how sleepy they're feeling. Sometimes they yawn as a way to try to stay awake when they're tired, just like humans do. The act of yawning means they're quickly inhaling extra oxygen, which can stimulate blood flow in their brains.

He would have rigged the supply so that it bypasses the meter.

Isn't that 'three wheels on my wagon'? 🤔 😂

Coins in the fountain? Little birds?

I am utterly tired and no idea why. So drinking an alcohol free bitter and watching a prime programme about triathlon.
