    What I Did This Weekend - In Pictures!

    Yesterday we went back to talacre, bit windy but everyone seemed to enjoy it. 2 hours parking for 20p is a bargain for a UK beach, and we realised if you both install the parking app you can do a second lot for 20p again rather than £2 which was nice.

    On holiday I regularly hit 40k steps, quite surprising tbh!

    I'm either great or terrible on walks, depending on your aim. I'll slow you down for sure, but there will be a lot of pictures taken

    Fair play, I've walked home from penkridge before but was worse for wear after visiting the swan at whiston 🤣

    Mundane facts about your day: Part Deux.

    Only problem is they're horribly expensive to run, I had a look a while ago. The premise is great, they're usually about 10% more efficient than gas boilers, but electricity is 4x the cost of gas. Even with solar it's no help as you need it most in the winter, and as I can use 100kWh of gas in...

    Mundane facts about your day: Part Deux.

    Any pipework need changing or just the radiators themselves? Also did you need a large water cylinder? I'd like to get off gas but fear we'll need to rip out most of the current system, and have nowhere for a hot water tank.

    The President of the United States of America.

    The whole USA thing is like watching a car crash lately, I hear rumours that now the national parks have no staff they're going to ramp up tree felling for lumber as most of theirs used to come from Canada (now tariffs). How long before they're going for oil too :ohno:

    Mundane facts about your day: Part Deux.

    Today is my last day, I'm off to Latvia in a bit so he can see his mum again. Knackered is an understatement and I've had help from my mum, can't imagine how some manage on their own. Eric has been (mostly) amazing, night times are an issue at times but he's took it all in his stride, and he's...

    Stafford shops opening - Turning into a boom town?

    He's doing exactly what he planned, sow confusion. I assume you know of the dead cat strategy, this is pet cemetery. Note it all comes from him and often on social media, not the actual government, most of it will never come to pass, but with enough misdirection nobody sees what his real plan...

    TBF neither of his parents are really normal, things just weren't diagnosed in our day, not sure the poor lad had a chance!

    I used the word issues above, I think I really mean anomalies. He isn't an issue, he just doesn't quite conform, thats 2 very different things.

    Mundane facts about your day: Part Deux.

    He doesn't speak, can tell he understands a lot more than he lets on but to all intent and purposes you can't talk to him either, however leave him near a remote control and he's figured it out in minutes. He can jump between apps and find programs he wants, he loves whales for some reason...

    Mundane facts about your day: Part Deux.

    Unfortunately for a 3 year old Eric has very good command of the dogs. They know they can't hurt him and he knows if he pushes at their neck and says down they will always step away

    Mundane facts about your day: Part Deux.

    4 days into being effectively a single parent* and I have utmost respect for anyone that does this full time. If I didn't have my mum to help I'd have been screwed, trying to juggle a job with a child (and 2 dogs) is a nightmare and I have it easy as I work from home. Tried to extend nursery...
