    Good too see you elsewhere in

    Wife and l are into double figures seeing it, but first time in a few years and had good reason to go this time.
    MK is only 20 minutes away. It a very good theatre and some very good music venues over there.

    what is up with the fans, only real 'atmosphere' is having a go at the ref, very little singing support from either set.

    Had a go at doing a hand casting of me and the Mrs. Pretty easy to do, and quite pleased with how it came out.
    Comes out white, but airbrushed it with metallic steel colour today and stuck it on a bit of waxed oak.
    Just thought it would be a nice little keepsake.

    Only found out relatively recently that boiling water kills weeds as effectively as weed killer, more so in a way because it doesn't matter if it rains afterwards and you can see results instantly, although the plant isn't dead yet the leaves wilt and shrivel right up.

    Make sure the root gets a good watering and it'll kill anything, the heat distorts the plant's cells.

    Think it costs 5p or so to fill and boil a kettle so by my reckoning it's a fair bit cheaper than buying chemicals unless you're doing a huge area.

    White vinegar , salt and washing up liquid supposed to be good ( check for ratios). Salt to dry out , wash up liquid helps it stick and not get washed off , acid in vinegar kills and apparently makes soil / dirt infertile for future seeds and spores

    I didn't realise that Nordic, just had a quick look at the numbers, nuclear energy production in France is pretty impressive, it would take us years to get to their level.

    They also maximise their hydro electric generation, almost everywhere there is a stream with a significant fall they have a small hydro electric generator

    Is sounding ominous for her.

    Like it's been said, she's had a hell of innings

    Truss’s energy plan includes suspending the Green Levie. Check with your suppliers that they should therefore be reducing your standing daily charge , part of which is used for green investment
