My Off-grid and need to be frugal diary

Morning animaltribe
I've enjoyed reading your diary, what a different life you lead compared to most of us, very interesting to read along.
If you see books by Sue Grafton, the alphabet murders I call them, a is for alibi, b for burglar, c for corpse etc. Hopefully you'll love Kinsey and miss her like I did when I got to the end (y, author died before z but story is fine). Best reading them in order but not imperative.
Another good set is the dales detectives by Julia Chapman, Date with Death is the first one, best reading them in order. All set in the same wee village area and the books generally follow right on after each other. Shes written what she says will be the last of them just this year.
I also enjoy the Richard Osman set, similar to the Dales ones with a group of people you enjoy reading about. These are all on a par 'feel-wise' with Hamish or Agatha i think (but better written - sorry mc beaton😆 🤣) .

In-need-of-direction DH and I did enjoy a lovely lazy day yesterday. I managed a lazy day again today, but DH can’t bear to do nothing so he fixed an electrical problem in an out building. I did manage a lovely long dog walk though as the weather is cold but beautifully still and the air is so fresh.
Daisy-1571 thank you I’m glad you enjoy my diary. I do indeed lead a very different life. I sometimes get walkers come past the house every now and then. If I’m out in the garden or out with the dogs they often stop for a chat. They either think I’m very lucky or stark raving mad living so far out. Sometimes I agree with both points of view. The books sound good I will keep an eye out for them. At the moment I’m still reading the ‘Dresden Files’ series by Jim Butcher. I’ve read them all before but he has a new one coming out next year so I thought I’d get through the old ones before then.
I am really looking forward to the New Year as DH has agreed that the house needs a major de-clutter and has agreed to start on 1st January.
