Yes, we woke up to a thick layer of snow this morning so I’m late writing this post. My car has a layer of ice over it covered by a thicker layer of snow. I have no intention of going out. My central heating is struggling a little to keep my kitchen at 23 C.…

How do you buy a secondhand car? #ramble
The first car in this picture is mine. I saved for it and paid cash. My previous car was 7 years old when I bought it and 20 years old when I decided to replace it! I look after my car as best I can and have it regularly serviced. I also had to be…

Surviving the craziness. #ramble
It is Sunday morning, so as always, I’ll share my thoughts with you. As always our fortunes are dependent on the competence of the government and this one couldn’t be more useless or wrong. This morning, a minister said that the Moderna covid vaccine protected against both covid and influenza. In reality, it protects against…
