January 16th Jan 2025.

 Not been down to the Vale since my last post as the weather turned nasty with cold winds and SNOW!. 

So it's a good job I had plenty of jigsaws in from presents at Christmas and birthdays, so it's been sat in my man cave with the heating on and music from my jukebox, so been quite happy.

Have managed to get to the gang weekly meetings though Jean called off last Thursday has the cobbles at Portland basin were a bit dodgy for her.

Here are the jigsaws I've done the last few weeks.

  

So I'm been busy doing this and keeping warm, goodness knows how people without friends and enough money to have the heating on have gone on!, I'll bet the thermostat's in number 10 and 11 haven't been turned down, or are the taxpayers paying theirs too, wouldn't be surprised would you!.

Don't forget Keir even though you're away as much as you are, you still have to pay the standing charge, perhaps you should be looking into that!!, The standing charges just for my house is roughly £300 p/y (Gas water and electric), so for the 10 houses in my row, it works out at £3000 a year before you turn anything on!, shame on you and Reeves!.

Gripes over.

Hoping to get down to the Vale tomorrow.
