Tomorrow we get some sand and place the slabs. Then a break for a bit for everything to settle before finishing building work.
The garage had good news for us this morning, it was just a thin nail in the tread. That meant the tyre could be mended. Relief!!
We had the latest power bill..the charge for electricity and gas was the same amount...but the amount used was not!! So although we only use gas for the central heating and showers, we must use it even more carefully than we must use electricity. It is fortunate that we are already fairly frugal. Now we must be decidedly frugal , plan ahead for power use when it is needed.
You can't just live at the flick of a switch any more.

Pay the price and pray for Ukraine.
it's going to be a challenge to keep our elec prices down, we are turning the heating down (and soon off completely) and trying not to use the oven. We have an unbuilt bbq that's coming out soon as it seems sensible to have a back up plan.
It's going to be a b----- firing the kiln.
Tasker it certainly is. I can't have a decent electric kiln here. I think the house needs rewiring so even a small kiln could cause problems.
A wood fired kiln would be a dream, even a shared kiln.
It will be expensive...so no wasted space....
Glad to see some flowers up where you are! I haven't even looked at our recent power bill, but they sent a notice saying our rates were going up.
I guess the price of everything is going up, but somehow that seems less of an issue than what the poor folks in Ukraine are dealing with I think prices will stabilize. Least I'm hopeful they will. With spring here and summer coming that should help with utilities. Having less of a need for heat and lights on all day. Flower area sounds wonderful, looking forward to seeing the final product.
We are finding electricity and food costs are rapidly rising here, everything is going up so quickly
