    So I was feeling smug, I’d marked in this years diary when I filled the oil tank up last year and I’ve now past that point. I think it was something like 1100l in a 1200l tank. The monitor is still showing 4 bars. Of course now the work is heading to hell in a handcart not sure how smug I should be feeling. I’ve switched the thermostat down to 10 degrees, I light the stove about 3 ish and that keeps everywhere warm. I’ve got an oil filled radiator in my office that I can use if needed.
    It’s a nice day today so a couple of windows have been opened.
    OH is at a work event tonight, he was supposed to take something for a pooled supper but he forgot it, that’ll do my lunch for several days. Hoping to have a pamper session tonight. Managed to get my nails rebooked for Thursday morning.
    I’ll get the dogs out shortly. Think I need a brew first!

    Baby shower done, went ok. DD1s operation on Friday. OH made it home ok but set off later than he wanted to. First day done in head orifice, a long day.
    Went for a walk, spot the snake Girls won their rugby match, very lucky they weren’t beaten.

    Well spotted, quite hard to see, is it an Adder? I guess the sun will be warming him/her? sounds like lots going on.

    Yes it’s an adder. This particular walk is notorious for them. There will be quite a few before so long.

    It is. Thanks for thinking about us. She’s gone down. I wasn’t allowed to wait with her so I’ve been loitering with intent! I was sat in the hospital cafe and I kid you not a cat went wandering past. I think it must be a regular as the staff didn’t bother.
    Probably not a very MSE day as move from cafe to cafe.
