Re: Seen in the News

Re: ENERGY MATTERS

Have you seen the size of them? We absorbed separate waste bins but Now we are expected to find a place for an ugly box as well. Another thing.... my gas CH boiler is silent. Heat pumps aren't. This world is polluted by noise enough already!

Re: Today I shall be Mainly...

I shall be in the shed at 06:00 doing very delicate things to my wobbler castings...... Apart from that not a lot on the cards, certainly nothing in my social calendar so perhaps just a recovery day after my time with the kids...... :biggrin2:
