Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.

And that many rules about siting panels and open for interpretation internet's off mad with you can't put them.on wooden fences or wooden shed roofs but they word they use is dwelling house is a building, or a part of a building, that is used or intended to be used as a private home or place of human habitation
If it gets clarified and it's a no no £60 I'll tin the shed roof I dont live or sleep in the shed unless I upset Mrs Andy

Roofers are back on next door's roof this morning, which is very reassuring. They didn't come yesterday, can't say I blame them, as the Met had a warning. There is some rain forecast for later, but hopefully it won't be too bad. It came down quite hard for a bit yesterday evening, but I can't see any signs of leaks, touch wood. I was thinking of going for a ride, but I think I'll keep out of their way. Probably go at the weekend or later today.
Got my new waterproof bike jacket, finally. It is superb, apart from no hood volume adjuster (drawstring at the back of the hood). The hood has enough material to more or less cover a helmet, but that means a bit too much off-bike. Not a huge issue for me, but could annoy some people considering it's a premium 3 layer jacket.

Just had to deal with an emergency. I was in Sainbo's, and heard a woman call out 'can we have some help please' looking towards the self checkouts. I thought maybe she couldn't reach someting, so I went over. Realised there was a very old lady lying at my feet. Other lady was holding her head off the stone floor. Couldn't see any blood. Her eyes were open but she seemed unresponsive, maybe shock, I don't know.
I legged it and called someone at the self service tills. She radio'd for first aider. I went back. One first aider came in a few seconds. I was trying to get a shopping trolly off out of the way, but her feet were in the way, under it. By then about 3 more managers were there, and one had the bright idea of lifting the trolly.
Did a quick shop. Was ambulance outside. I think she was still on the floor. Maybe they prefer to talk to her before moving if possible?

Well done, Frnc, anything you can do can help.
I'm lurgified, hardly helping myself, let alone anyone else
But Lil's post about buying a copy of Day of the Triffids went down well with me

Cover crop sown. £4 bought me 250g of mustard seeds. Then I saw an RHS video where the guy suggested super cheap wild bird seed, which I got a bag from the pet store for 52p. Contains an eclectic mix including sunflower seeds and rye, so I hope I don't regret it. RHS wouldn't lead me astray with couch grass, would they?

Ordered some bits off Amazon. Things like first aid items that are coming up for expiry.
One thing I need to do is order some replacement freeze dried meals for my BOB. I'll dig out the existing ones and try to find the same if possible.
Got 3 bike rides done already this week, so I'm not bothered about going for a few days now.

The Day of the Triffids. My favourite book ever. Read it at school when I was about 14. I've read it several times since and still get scared with those plants. My family are used to me saying I don't like certain plants because they look like triffids. They think I'm strange anyway.
Meanwhile, in the garden, I've planted too many courgette plants again (I did give some away, honest) so I'm off to look for courgette chutney recipes.

A busy week!
Just arranged to go ahead with getting solar panels installed and a back up battery with emergency switch over as i found out certain banks are doing green additional borrowing at 0% for five years. Should pay back in around 10 years but it gives me energy security in the mean time. Did a lots of research to find a good company and deal.
Also stocked up on further foodie bits and made a spread sheet to track expiry dates.
And installed a 210ltr water but which filled in 30mins with these storms
