For evading condensation which times of day would be best to put heating on?

I guess the coldest time is the early hours of the morning?

I'd love to say that the best 4x4 trip was on the lost island of Atlantis, but I can't...

Not jealous. Not even a teeny weeny bit.

Ok. I'm very jealous!
Sounds fabulous viva Every bit as fabulous as you deserve.

You have a lovely garden Maggie. It looks too big for a hand mower IMO and it's still hard enough work with a petrol mower, which he deserves

Thank you! It is a lovely garden, though much neglected at the mo as allotment is getting more care.

Really the lawn isn't that big, it's just the camera settings make it look different to real life IYSWIM. Wild guess is 30 wide by 20 long (yards) for the lawn. Length is approaching further than I can walk, though do have 3 steps to get up to reach the lawn. Far end of garden well over what I can walk without sitting down for a rest, so have various chairs spread around garden, most important to me is one to be near that archway at end of lawn in one of my photos.

Yep, think I've already narrowed it down to LC.

Patrol's are great, used to have one in the ME, but LC has better parts availability worldwide.

Thanks Maggie I'm just a bit up and down. Keep switching between utter despair thinking 'how did it come to this?' to feeling all hopeful and optimistic and looking forward to a new start.

Just applied for a job that's absolutely perfect for me, and it's based in inner Herts! The dream is not dead.

Well if you need somewhere to crash before an early interview you only need to ask.

School sports day (part 1, juniors) tomorrow, house captain has just realised than as well as the kudos she ends up having to do a lot of extra chores.....

Good luck Mas! Try to focus on the hopeful and optimistic feelings

(not sure I'm the best placed to offer advice on how to do that, mind you)

Have so enjoyed last few days. Really going to miss solitude.

Have to buy milk and stuff tomorrow.

Chewie, is the reason you plan to move that the travel is getting to you or you want a change of scenery? Either way I wish you the best.

I think I've learnt everything I can (at least in the areas I want to learn about) where I am and think I need to move externally to keep my interest levels up, I think I'm treading water really. An enormous pay rise wouldn't go amiss either...

Caught some of the BBC News footage of the Labour conference this afternoon.

What year are we in? Why does the party leader's wife have to be wheeled out for a kiss? It was toe-curlingly cringey. Then he led her by the hand out of the arena - but he was leading the way so it kind of looked like he was dragging poor Justine along.

That and the fact they'd clearly placed as many females and especially non-white ones up on the stage so they would be seen in the background.

I'm more worried by the wafer-thin gap between the three parties' policies. I gather in Ireland their main parties are so similar the public call them Coke and Pepsi.;)
