Email from Shell Energy (our new supplier after the last one went bust): “Since we don’t have an email address for you, we’ll send you everything you need to know by letter.”
Clearly this is a well-run company and I have nothing to worry about.

Hissing it down here, & I have had to put the heating on.
I bought some fresh pineapple ‘fingers’ from the reduced items 'fridge shelf in Tiny Tesco last night. 500g reduced to 65p. No preparation or waste, & delicious.

Very changeable weather up here. The Embra contingent are being shipped off to Inverstress (so named as a result of missed trains). Poodle has been a joy as have her Klingons.
Wozzit Fishers who advised me to use tomato ketchup on the Poodly coat the last time she rolled in fox scat? This occurred yesterday and required vigorous showering followed by a generous application of ketchup. The smell of the poo wozz totally vile but she’ll smell more like a Wetherspoon’s plat du jour than a latrine for their 3.5 hour train journey, mercifully 
I lit my Poppy Candle, yesterday, for Carinthia and TFM. Fuzzy hugs for you both.

Thank-you Soo
There was an ‘crise de chandailles’ here yesterday, but I found one that I had had for my 50th birthday, so burned that.
The 8 hour tealights have arrived today.

I thought it was tomato juice and skunks. For obvious reasons, I have never actually tried this.
Oh dear, poor Poodle. Poor you lot, too…

Not I, m’dear. But I did know about tomato (ketchup, juice) as a way to distract from the smell of dead fox when a dog has found and rolled in same. Very dead fox, it was. Even the Bristol Zoo Foxwatch people were impressed by the deadness of it. (With masks on.)

Poodle disliked the clinginess ovvit and washed herself all night, apparently. Thankfully, she was staying in the Klingons’ room 
Barf! We had masks in the car and didn’t think to apply them…mind, we were pretty well knocked out by the stench.
The chalet feels very empty and the weather is quite grim but I am contentedly watching the boats pitch and roll prior to packing.

I seem to be in Leeds. On balance this is probably a good thing. On the 16th floor, but one can’t have everything and at least the view is OK.

I am right in the middle of Leeds, which unlike That London still has actual useful shops, so yes. (I mean, the hotel has a restaurant too, but I am an Frugal Sparrer even at times when I want to be indoors with other people.)
