That's what I put the pelmet over the top for, it seems to work well - the laundry it blocks off is really draughty and uninsulated and the cold and heat does not really get though at all.

I sewed some tape across the back with gaps to put the shower rings through, which means the top of the curtain is above the rings rather than hanging below, which also reduced the gap air could get through considerably.

Three units attending is just a baby fire, barely worth mentioning. A noteworthy fire would have something like ten times that many.

I had an old blanket nailed across my laundry door for a few years. I have now made a curtain with some discounted insulated curtain fabric I found instead, it hangs on a tension rod with shower curtain rings sewn onto the curtain. I managed to sort out a pelmet as well to help keep the heat in/out better, using some extra fabric and a couple more tension rods. Miss Meow has not discovered a way through (which is good, if I wanted her to I would do the raised corner) but Mr Woof is happy to push it aside so he can get through to the dog door.

I am grateful I put petrol in my car yesterday, so today I can drive straight home from work without stopping.

Edit: Bonus gratefulness - the food cupboard had some slightly squished lemon butter pastry things that are really yummy. I am having dessert first tonight.

Op Shops seem to have stupid pricing these days. They have so much stuff being donated that they dont always even accept donations, and then instead of putting reasonable prices on things to sell quickly they mark it up so much it's often not worth buying.

My Excel spreadsheet is refusing to play nice with my OFFSET functions. I do not know why, the exact same formula is working with other cells, it just won't let me create them with a different original cell reference.

Edit: have worked out a workaround to do what I want. I think this might be a better way of doing things anyway so maybe Excel did me a favour.

I wish I was in bed, instead of at work where it is very chilly this morning. It's been an indoor puffer jacket kind of day here.

There have been vaccination shortages anyway, so you might not have been able to get it done. Miss Meow was due for hers 6 months ago but the vet didn't have any available so it got put off.

Thankyou. The serving size for hot seems to be much smaller today than I recall it being. Are we suffering from temperature shrinkflation?

May I please have some hot

I do not like that forecast. I looked at the predications for the next week and the coldest mornings are all the ones I'm working (which means 4am wakeup). Two days -1, one day 0, and a pleasantly warm 2 degrees for the other. There should be an extra penalty rate or allowance for early starts in below zero temperatures.

Well, 11.5 degrees looks to be as warm as I'm getting today. I'm off to have a stroll around the neighbourhood with Mr Woof.
