@alan_jones Thanks Alan. When I first saw it I hurried to get my camera from the next room & had to put the batteries and memory card back in. Luckily the sparrowhawk was still there & stayed for quite a while eating its meal. Don't mind at all you trying to get a clearer look, nicely done.

Spotted this sparrowhawk through my kitchen window this afternoon. Pics aren't that clear as had to point camera through glass as didn't want to scare it off by moving the net curtain or opening the window.

@alan_jones @BritishGas @MartinSLewis That's true, profits more important than those struggling to pay bills.

[Chris @chilitechris]

My energy suppler @BritishGas is increasing my gas & electricity tariffs & standing charges from 1 April. So much for the price cap guarantee @MartinSLewis

[Chris @chilitechris]

@Page_888 Yes was nice to see Ducky again in Monday's "new" episode on 5USA working with Jimmy again. Guess the next oldest character must be Tim McGee. Tony used to have so many amusing nicknames for him, including "Elf Lord" which Gibbs used as well!

[Chris @chilitechris]

@alan_jones @BritishGas @MartinSLewis Apparently my increases are due to "regional and payment type differences" and "the tariff is still under the Energy Price Guarantee". Oh well. Anyway hope you are well Alan.

[Chris @chilitechris]

@alan_jones @BritishGas @MartinSLewis Yes I thought the tariffs and standing charges would stay the same, not go up. I've asked them why. Email said something about local variations. Just an excuse to raise prices I reckon.

@BritishGasHelp Hi Imran, have DM you my details as requested.

[Chris @chilitechris]

Did some spring cleaning in the bathroom this morning and continuing this afternoon. Things that were supposed to be shiny are now shiny again. Thank you Mr Muscle! 💪

[Chris @chilitechris]

@PaulCarterlink Yes it feels like a day wasted.

[Chris @chilitechris]

@Page_888 You too Matthew, enjoy the rest of your day :)

[Chris @chilitechris]

@alan_jones Not only a "win, win" on the battery charge up and pie but also for the hair cut and shopping. Good stuff Alan.

[Chris @chilitechris]

@PaulCarterlink That's bad after you made all that effort to be ready on time. Hope you get an apology.

[Chris @chilitechris]

When I got inside I noticed more flowers on display and picked up a couple more - primroses for my Mum's grave. Managed to carry them all home on top of my other shopping.

[Chris @chilitechris]

Walked to Tesco this morning & noticed some nice looking flowering primulas on display just outside the entrance. Thought they would ok to take to cemetery at weekend, 1 each for my parents' and uncles graves.

[Chris @chilitechris]

@Page_888 Enjoy the rest of your day Matthew, take care.

[Chris @chilitechris]

@Page_888 Thank you Matthew.

[Chris @chilitechris]

@GuyPortman No lawn here Guy, hope you get some decent weather to mow yours.

[Chris @chilitechris]

Fairly productive work out in the garden just before lunch today, cutting out some more old growth from last year. Filled up two more large bags and will take to council garden waste tip.

[Chris @chilitechris]

Did plan to walk to Tesco this afternoon but the gardening somewhat knackered me out. I'm not as young and energetic as I used to be 🤣 🤣 I'm sure Tesco will still be there tomorrow.
