Turning colder next weekend

Not looking forward to it, I know its going to be cold so weekend in bed I suspect. It wont help as I have my IV at Hospital end of week so will be sick as a skunk for the next few days and cold.

I am still waiting to here back from GYBC and Beatty, must follow up on  Innovation Agency as am going to join their experiments, thought long and hard, but my work is fine with it, no clashes of interest etc

Temperatures have dropped

and today/evening I am cold. My hips are painful as are my shoulders, ankles, neck and wrists. My new sofa has arrived which is lovely but now I need hot water bottles and blankets piled high to keep warm. Lets hope summer is not too far away.

Sorry I have been gone for a while

Yes I know its three months since last bout of blogging but I am so fed up with it all - A newly built bungalow which is too costly to heat, a garden I cant use, and have just seen the article in the Telegraph that says 'Low Carbon Homes miss energy design targets' using up to 3.5 times more energy than they were designed too as reported by the Innovation Agency. Yes they are on my list to contact, will see what happens next however they had results from 76 independent  residents and I am going to go onto their testing lists and they want to investigate further. All very interesting.

My snagging list now consists of the front door which was fixed so I could close now has a draft coming through which renders the concept of frugal heating completely useless. The garden is not accessible, it has a steep gradient (not wheelchair friendly) the rotary line doesn't work on the slope it catches the grass and mud on clothing. Our well dead Elm tree needs trimming off at fence level currently goes about 30 ft high, next doors oak tree cuts light to us and neighbours and drops leaves in the garden it hangs over, and no that neighbour cant use his garden either.
