Part 2 at dentist was rough
Hygienist was quite rough I felt but as I have never seen an hygienist before I don't know what to expect.
Kept getting told to relax my lips.... How do you relax your lips....
Not sure I will bother going again

if you don't then some day you will have to & it will be more unpleasant. better to get used to it now, & keep going. cleanings can be rough, depends on how you care for them yourself. take better care of them & the cleanings won't be so rough

that said, not all hygienists are the same

I got a happy Christmas text from my bank.

Nice of the manager to take the time to send me a text

Mysterious stock in the freezer on its way to be lunch time soup.

The label is gone, could be interesting. More, re flavour, later.

Oops, silly me! Mind, I did spend a good part of yesterday thinking it was Friday.

Well, you're right now.
Ahead of the trend.

The pavements are really, really, slippery now as the snow mostly melted and has now frozen. You really do have to wonder why it's deemed essential to grit the roads several times per day but they never bother with the pavements. The council probably spend the budget on a fancy Christmas dinner for themselves or something.

I see the local chemist has Blue Stratos on a clearance sale offer. They've probably had it blocking up their stock room since 1971 and are fed up looking at it.

How does it compare to whisk(e)y?

Morning .
I have been out and put our bins out . It was cold !
I was working on the hotel again yesterday . I had to rummage around in my garage for some suitable wood . I salvaged some hinges off an old door so that we can lift the lid up for cleaning , putting in fresh food or bedding and to see if it had any visitors . I need to sort out some material for waterproofing the roof . Oh I also modified the plan I was using , I cut down the sides and back to make a sloping roof to allow water to run off.

Is that the hedgehog hotel? I think they are supposed to have an "off set" corridor, so that Mr Fox cannot reach the resident.

I think I may put an internal baffle . I have made the opening to the dimensions on the drawing and it looks large . I will take some pictures and post them later .

Pipe work to our out door tap has just burst lucky I've managed to isolate it.
Repair will have to wait till spring.

That sounds good if you are following a drawing.

Internal baffle? I think I have one of those a couple of times a week.

Had quite a bit of this on our conservatory this morning, although I've used 8 KWh heating it, so not far off £3 for the day.

My daughter was asking which is cheaper to run, fan heaters or oil radiators so I explained the difference - oil better for sustained heat and quiet, fan for instant. She then told me that her boyfriend's parent's haven't got the heating on due to a fault with the boiler so they use the wood burner, and he's freezing upstairs in his room. I said a £30 oil radiator will help. Their pipes were all frozen this morning, no water !
