Energy Performance Certificate

I just looks up my house's Energy Performance Certificate, which is still valid.  

Apparently it recommends me to cavity wall insulation, floor insulation, low energy lighting, which I have done, solar water heating, solar photovoltaic panels, last but not least, wind turbine, seriously?

Storm Malik

Storm Malik was proper scary,  so loud,  so destructive.  I am lucky that I am not on a bicycle or motorcycle today. 

Belated Shoe Care

I finally get around to show some love to my lovely red leather shoes, about 15 years too late.  I requested some shoe trees, I waxed them, but when I turned them upside down, the heal block damages, and it may be too late for half soles.

Oumph! Balls

We grew up with soy protein and wheat protein, so with the new flavour coming out everyday, I am tempted.  I picked up these Oumph! balls, excellent.  Except they are no longer listed on their website!

Creamy Gravy

We bought some Ikea creamy gravy mix before, but I am not convinced they are any special.  So I tried to make some creamy gravy by normal gravy granules and milk, viola!

Zero-Waste Failure

We have used Asda refill stations a few times.  I went with a container, set for some pistachio, empty!  Bombay mix, empty!  The staff said they had been empty for a while, they have not been supplied with refills.  So across from the refill station, I picked the exact same thing, in a plastic bag!  Disgusted.

Haxby Bakehouse

We have bought Haxby's bread from a farmshop before, we finally got a chance to visit Haxby Bakehouse.  Nice products, they do fly off the shelves.  We chose a seedy sourdough, which was a little burnt on the top, but it was still excellent.  So Haxby has knocked Bluebird off top 3.  We will try more product next visits.
