I am taking a break from trying to reduce the amount of paperwork in this house. 
Decided that I needed to do it in some sort of logical way. So I have removed the very fat, old, stuff to edit and shred.
The (comparatively) recent stuff can now all fit back in the filing cabinet.
How long do peeps on here keep their Tax records, is it seven years? I will keep the NI Contributions records as there was such a muddle up* some years ago on my records.
Yes, I apologise, I bought a shredder. Not had one that works for several years. The papers I am shredding are confidential, that is my reason for buying one.
* Other phrases are available, but I am too polite to mention those.
In other news, a tenth series of "Law and Order: Criminal Intent" starts this evening. Vincent D'Onofrio is one of my most favourite actors.

It's been a pretty raw winter's day here chez Casa Reynard, tho we did have a decent bit of sunshine.
Slept well, and spent the morning turning lengths of seasoned ash and mulberry into logs. The nice bits have been stacked in the wood store along the fence, the wonky bits have been put in the garage ready for burning.
Have had a quiet afternoon. Groomed the girls and zapped them again with another dose of Frontline Plus, topped up all the wood bins in the house, cleaned the grate and am currently watching Morocco v Spain.
Also was successful earlier in an auction on the Bay of E for a nice Victorian locket. No one else bid, as it was very plain and colonial silver (i.e. not hallmarked) - most people tend to prefer the much more fancypants ones and get into bun fights over them.
Almost time for a
and a chocolate biskit.

I buy chocolate according to cocoa solids content. The brand - or non-brand - is secondary to that.
For me, the "sweet spot" is between 30 and 50% cocoa. Must confess I'm partial to the Green & Black with ginger.
Although the Tesco own brand milk chocolate (at 25% cocoa solids) is actually rather decent.Have to confess that I tend to avoid things like roses, celebrations and quality street as I do find them rather sweet.

Curtains are now pulled to retain a bit more heat inside the house and the living room storage heater has been turned up a bit as the forecast is pretty cold looking in the immediate future.
It also blanks out the excessive Christmas lighting outside.
Not checked any tables but the moon looks like a full moon if not tonight then tomorrow I think.
Weather turned out sunny so while not quite as bright as yesterday there is one particular hill where the sun shines straight into drivers eyes.
Topped up the car fuel tank and diesel is down to 186.9p.
Ears checked out ok and no wax blockage and hearing aid retubed. A possible fault is that it turns itself off at irregular intervals but that may be specs or cap hitting the wrong buttons.
“Any problems just drop in when next in Oban and we can sort it or replace it”.
Pretty good service from Scottish NHS.

That's right, it's a full moon tomorrow. I hope the sky stays clear until the morning. I got up at around 7am and a big bright moon was setting over west London. I reached for my camera but its battery was completely flat and my mobile's camera is poor. Now I'm all ready and charged up. All I have to do now is get up at sparrows' fart tomorrow.
