Morning.
It is still dark here .
I am following government advice and conserving energy .
I'm sitting down .

Grr... UK passport applications causing problems again, although to be fair this time it was the complicated payment procedure the UKPA insists on using.
For this I needed to use the online banking
For this I needed to get an app
The App didn't work; I have yet to find any bank phone app that works, which is a problem as they insist on using them.
As a backup they said I should download a QR reading app and enter the code it gave me.
Downloaded 2 QR readers. They didn't work either.
Bank App website then told me to go to the local bank.
If they'd just let me make the payment through the local bank or better through Paypal, like everyone else does, that would be much quicker and easier...

I'm not getting any adverts at all on my CC page, that ad blocker someone on here recommended must be working.

I'm the same, I don't see any adverts, my browser has a built in add blocker that can be a little too good.

Morning
Looks grey and icy outside
Kettle is boiling

 

[oldwheels]

Still pitch dark at 0830 and raining.
Oban town centre is reported as a sheet of ice and numerous roads seem to be snowed in and impassible so far.
The main road down to Craignure was also reported as light snow and very slippy last night tho' we have no snow here.
Still cold at 2.2C but supposed to warm up, or rather get less cold later today.

"@classic33's household tips" would be a great book and would possibly sell tens of copies.

Sell, that many!
You're kidding me.

Garden birds have been fed late today
First down were the magpies
Food delivery just been, bizarrely the oat milk we had delivered today has a shorter life than the ones delivered a week before Christmas so will have to watch them .

I am back on the oat milk. I quite like it, but sadly the Co-op have stopped stocking the Jord brand which was my favourite.

Swmbo normally has alpro chocolate soya milk to help with dietary requirements but when not available we have Oatly brand which I prefer.

There are loads of different brands and types it's a minefield

It’s Oatly I am using now. I prefer the stuff on the chilled cabinet rather than long life which I always think has a weird taste.

I prefer the occasional sneaky glass of Oatly over the Alpro

Coop are a useless bunch anyway. They no longer stock oatmeal for example and other things I would buy.

Wet and dull here. Was going to do gentle walk round the country park to test the lungs, but can't be bothered getting wet. Some clearing up to do from Christmas Day.
