Just looked out of the kitchen window to see a crow finishing off plucking what, I guess, it thought was a mouse/rat/small bird when it was a piece of padding, a bit like the inside of a cushion or pillow...
Anyway, he saw me and took off .having the back garden looking like a snow storm has just hit us.......
Let's hope the wind blows it all away...

Crows are very clever if you didn’t know.

4/5 mins maximum of your time - quicker than going to the shop. Let the bread machine do the work.

Currently I have the Morphy Richards machine. Good results but feel that our previous Panasonic one was a tad better - although more expensive. It will take a while to get the mix of ingredients exactly right for you but well worth it in the end. Quality flour is king. PM me if you want further info.Sounds good.

Funny looking back at this post from the end of 2024. That car park is now £10.60, meaning I've been driving out of my way to a different station where it's £5.25.Unless it's a mistake in the app, my station car park where I park 3 times a week has put the price up from £5.50 to £8 a day! What a ridiculous increase. Looks like I'll have to start going to a different station.
Someone online told me of a different car park near the original nearest station that is cheaper with a 'Hillingdon First' card (which I've borrowed off the father-in-law). Had a look this morning and it must have been a while since they visited.
I've winged it with the 9 hour charge but technically that isn't enough and I'm taking a small risk.
Imagine not having the HF card and wanting to park there for the day - £17.50 thanks very much.

If you parked for 12 hours it’s about £1.50 an hour.
That’s not bad value in my opinion.

I would probably be moaning more about the price of rail travel than the parking.
I am due to start a new job next month and thought I would be in the office for the first couple of months whilst I get up to speed and the price of a season ticket for a 25 minute each way journey was shocking (and I couldn't use my railcard). Luckily I will only do the first day to get IT and stuff then only do a day or so each month.

This does seem expensive for a rail car park when you are also buying a rail ticket.Funny looking back at this post from the end of 2024. That car park is now £10.60, meaning I've been driving out of my way to a different station where it's £5.25.

On the odd occasion my wife goes into her office in Edinburgh it costs about £30 to park for the day. She usually parks somewhere further out and gets a bus.

At a tenner a day, I go in three times a week so that could easily be £120 a month just on parking. I can claim my tube travel back from my work but it doesn't include parking. Just glad I'm not going in every day, I'd be looking at £200.

Tyre fitting centres that have ramps that can't get your car on! What a daft design. I blame the rise of the SUV

Surely the irritation should be cars that are now too big for the ramps (and car parks, garages, roads, etc)

I think there might be crossed wires - my car is too low for the new ramps

Yeah but that’s why you get paid the big bucks to work in town.

Those parking prices seem mental. What have I done!
