Definitely.....it is usually our next door neighbour who switches them on 1st, they never take them down from one year to the next.

No that one house has put them up the others will follow soon.

My favourite type of bike (not make) is something like the Chinky I had, full fairing, not too heavy, not a huge engine for cheaper and easier maintenance, and a bit of storage.

We receive the winter fuel allowance, it helps towards our gas and electric bills, but nowhere near does it cover them, as to other benefits, no, we are £3 over the limit, so entitled to nothing....I just hope we don't have a long very cold winter.

I can put up with the foggy windows....its the mould that causes a bit of worry.....not good for a old gits health.

15.45pm and the windows are starting to mist up now.

We do open our windows when the weather allows, and the patio doors too, I know the loft is insulated, but dont think it has cavity wall insulation. We havd thrown many things away because they have got mould growing on them, bike gloves and even a helmet, it's a continuing battle. We did talk to the guy from the housing association who came to check the bungalow for any repairs that need doing, he said leave your heating on low 15c all the time, but with the price of gas that is unaffordable...

We did leave it in the passage that connects all the rooms last winter, but it did not make any noticeable difference, I think we would need a much larger dehumidifier to keep all the rooms clear of Condensation. We do leave the kitchen and bathroom extraction fans on 24/7 but they do not help much, it seems it is a very damp environment in the bungalow, for some reason...

We have one, it can only manage 1 room though, we have that in our bedroom, we would need another 3 to keep the other rooms condensation free. We have tried all the on line hacks that supposedly eliminate condensation, found none that does.

Every night, and has been for the past month or so, all the windows are streaming in the morning, puddles on the window sills, we open the windows a little during the day to get some through ventilation, but too cool after dark to leave them open, the Karcher window vac is working overtime each morning.

Yeh, double glazed, plastic window frames, the mould grows on the edge of the frames and into the walls.....

Housing association replaced the kitchen & bathroom ceiling because they were so bad, now its getting hold in the living room ceiling and window frames, it does not help that its like a swamp in here in the mornings, the windows are wet through in the mornings.

I like Tomatoes in salads and suchlike, but I can't stand Tomatoe soup.

I will charge the scoot battery, then clean the bungalows windows, clear up more leaves, and bleach the mould around the windows and ceilings, What a day, such fun!.

My Yamaha Majesty managed Donington quite well.

And so it begins! Outside Christmas lights

Bad echo in here tonight.

600cc would be about the right configuration for me.

A long list of cheapo bikes, CBR600, Kawasaki GPZ500, Bandit 600, Yamaha Diversion 600 are some of them.

I see loads for me.

Not a problem with the scoot, can't over rev it, can hold it at high (for a single) revs though, which is not a good idea to do for any length of time, and at all times it is in the right gear.

Going to the pub 🍽 25% off meals on a Tuesday lunchtime...

Yeh,the shallow end

He is out of his room again!

I think our Tory MP will get ousted at the GE, not because he is a Tory, because he is useless, he spends more time at Nottinghamshire City Council than in our area sorting Mansfield,s problems.
