1)Loving the rain but found that my "waterproof" Jacket lets water in at the shoulders -(I have had it about 7 years though) At least I found out before we go to Edinburgh where the forecast is for rain all week. 2) Just paid over £70 quid to fill the car up! The most I have ever had to pay & that is in one of the normally cheaper garages, should have guessed it's August of course crafty bu**ers!
"the state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially as relating to behavioural decisions and attitude change..." so even experience can't change their mind ... you know the saying about repeating the same action and expecting a different outcome ... that sort of stuff .... and loads of other stuff too .... like having climate change explained to them ... and then http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/06/trump-s-new-oceans-policy-washes-away-obama-s-emphasis-conservation-and-climate
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I love "cognitive dissonance". Brilliant expression.
Don't take much note of petrol prices as it's something we have to have to get about but we do go for the cheaper SM stuff and not branded. However, can someone please explain why, whilst driving "uphill" to Belgium a couple of weeks ago I got there on 37 litres but on the way back south a week later it took a whole tank to do the 800odd kms and I had to fill up 20kms short of home?
I have tried not using weedkiller here but we have a serious infestation of deeply seated bindweed so I do use it occasionally but carefully and with a dedicated back pack spray that is very easy to control. We also have cardboard down to cut light to bare soil and also free sheets of plastic from our farmer neighbour who would otherwise dump it and we have deep mulches between plants plus weed membrane down and chipped bark. Hoeing the drive is a real chore but is starting to work but then they're just annual weeds.
Fingers and jets from the hose plus feeding the birds are my form of insecticide.

Why can't car hire companies tell you up front how much the ripoff insurance is going to cost? If you go elsewhere for insurance, they resort to threats, blackmail and outright lies to get you to purchase their product even in addition to the one you've already bought.
