Morning ZZzzz, it is surprising what is collected over the years, we have thrown loads out but still have lots :-0

Morning all, we have been up since silly o'clock sorting, moving stuff ready for the carpet to be fitted, you don't know how much s..t you've got till you have to move it, heaven help whoever has to sort it out after we have both passed :-D

Morning Gyn we only have a very light breeze but the ground is too wet to go outside. I have plenty to catch up on indoors so I won't be bored ;-) :-D :-D

A lovely bright morning here, but the strong breeze gave it an early morning autumn feel.
Hoping to catch up on some gardening, while the weather is good.

Morning all blue sky and sun here at the moment but my it is soggy out there. It rained very heavily last night but the garden is happy about it even if we weren't :-D :-D

Night night sleep well xx.

Off to bed now so night night see you tomorrow :-D <3

That's a good idea maybe. OH is quite good at helping dig up the dead as he loves using his camera and does all the phots of gravestones while I take notes.

In fact I might even go by coach if it's easier.

When I travel up north it is usually on my own and that is ok with me because hubby would be bored to tears and he isn't that keen on family history which is why I go there.

It tires us too much to do it unless it was an emergency, hence we go in the car and stop half way at the services for a coffee and a snack. We usually take goodies for the mini Gooners anyway so we would be too loaded with bags :-D :-D :-D

Crikey I couldn't do all that even if I wanted to, my ability to walk is greatly reduced and I now have a Rollator / Zimmer frame with a seat so I can sit down when I need to, it won't stop me from traveling abroad though, it will just be a bit difficult.

We both have passes and we don't do many miles a week in the car either. The only time we use a lot of petrol is to visit our daughter oop norf and that is not very often. It is awkward to get to hers on trains as we either have to get a lift or a long bus ride changing twice to get to the right main line station and then 3 changes of train.

Not a rant and I agree it is the selfish so and so's that cause the shortages, I have a bus pass but hubby doesn't and the main supermarket is a short bus ride away anyway, but we only do about 12 miles a week if we have to go to the tip, sometimes none at all.

It is illegal to store petrol anyway. I feel sorry for all the people that rely on fuel to carry out their everyday work. We have seen loads of older retired folk around here filling their tanks to the brim.They don't need it to work and the silly fools don't realise they waste more carrying all that extra eight of fuel about. We have only put in our usual weekly amount and if we run out we have bus passes so can use those.

Rant over the selfish b*****ds over :-|

I've never understood why people panic buy fuel, they can't or shouldn't store it and the parents might have to walk their children to school. :-(

I will have them crossed for you :-D :-D. We were going to go out for the day this week until the weather turned and the idiots bought up all the fuel. :-|

I think there are trains that go direct so that is what I will be doing, fingers crossed.

I think the main lines would be OK but I would personally avoid the tube like the plague :-D.

I don't know how safe it is to travel by train yet but I would love to go up north but will wait till next spring ish.
