    PN you must come and stay in our garage, double size but with a single electric door and we have not had the chance to fill it with junk yet. Frost is forecast and the car is having its first night in the garage :)
    No mention of a cat....

    I should mention more criteria I guess....

    Pn, dairy house, if Chevy doesn't want it....two house cats, four barn cats. You could have the coach/cake house garage, but ATM there is only one wall and a few pallets ful of tiles thinks there is a pic of that on the other channel.

    I love hard frosts.
    Not so great if you're in a cold/draughty house.... nice if you're snuggly warm.

    I'm not looking forward to the cold weather as I have the responsibility of an empty house X miles away and so need to adjust the heating on/off.... I don't really understand the system (back boiler) but I do know how to get it to come on/off by sliding some little knobs on a switch in a cupboard... and, while it's been warm, I've had it set to two lots of 2 hours/day, but it'd need more in the cold.

    Temperature control is via each individual rad, which will be a pain to try to guess at.... it is hit/miss if you're there 24/7 to get each one right. To pop over daily and check would mean a £100/month fuel bill in the car..... not good. Already been spending about £200/month with all the stuff/driving/visiting I've been doing.

    Are you going to move into the other house when your tenancy is up?

    Is there room there now it's empty for hobby until it is sold?


    It's not so bad in the frost in a cold draughty house, if the air is still and dry like today. I have lit the woodburner today though.

    It's creepy :)
    And draughty and annoying .... and there would be space over the summer to sort something out, but not now/yet.

    There is something quite amazing about being in a crowd of 40,000 cheering on a team.

    I'm not sure they get that sort of gate at the Town though.

    When I go to games I am equally fascinated in watching crowd reactions and the like. Especially when the 2 sets of fans react to each other. It's great!

    Oh well, fwiw, I feel the same about you, and the others of course.


    Well, the reason not to have more than one of those 'you on a good day' vitamin drinks is you stay awake all night. But I did finish my book, and another one I was re reading, so.......I'm having another one right now. :D

    It's a beautiful, beautiful morning, I love hard frosts.

    I walked to work this morning. I set off, it was dark. As well as the frost, there was a lovely looking half moon still out & bright as a button.

    Was a very pleasant walk today.

    Same reason I seem to have 80,000+ ... there are too many people out there with low standards :)

    I even thank LiR's incomprehensible 'spellchecked' posts :cheesy:

    I've had that a bit recently.
    I know I did kinda miss out a couple of weeks (mainly as I didn't have the time to go through all the pages/posts.

    I have noticed since the new year I have intermittent thanks.

    Strange...
