What are you all up to

I think the difference is that background apps are designed to run on very little power but a main app is very power hungry  which causes the heat build up. Interesting  that the battery power had dropped quite considerably in quite a short time.

Woke up to blue sky and sunshine  but it's clouded over now.

Done the Aldi shop, and now OH has taken himself off to the garage to work on "Daffy" . British Gas finally came to change our smart metre reader, originally told on the phone it would come back to life  not sure how???? Engineer who came said it had stopped working because they had updated all software and we should have had notification!  Er no!  Anyway nice new one fitted,   but think I preferred not knowing how much we were using!  

Expecting a visit from eldest son this afternoon, not seen him for a while   always busy. Offered to take us out for a meal, so expect we'll be going to local pub, cheap & cheerful 

Enjoy time with your Grand daughter TG whatever you decide to do.

Get your GD on Pintrest TG, looking at some hand made stuff, then suggest she have a go. Knitted stuff is booming at the moment, as are unusual wreaths for Xmas. Take a look at the Pom Pom rugs! That combines screen time with practical have a go, and she’ll have a “cool rug’ for her bedside at school!

I'm intrigued by the blurb that claim 'smart meters' save you electricity. AFAICS they would only do so if you heeded the information provided and cut down on consumption. I wonder how many have been conned by them.

Probably  only  those  who  spend  lots  of  time  screen  scanning,  CY,  to  the  exclusion  of  thinking  !!  Particularly  since  the  "plug In "  display  unit  does  not  always  come  with  the  fitting  of  the  meter  --  I  was asked "Do  you  want  one  of  these  'cos  they  are  free { }?"  Oh  yes,  I'll  have  six    !  No  you  won't  you'll  have  one  &  lump  it  !!

When we got waylaid in our local town by our own energy company, then advising us that we should have a smart meter fitted ,I said that if they could give me a guarantee in writing  that it would still work if we changed supplier ,"I did not get that assurance" so we are now  going to stick with what we have until such times as they can 

We are going tomorrow to pick up our little day van that we have bought recently. Hoping to be home early then take it out a drive in the afternoon. Also got to empty the caravan as it is going for its first service next week hoping it passes with no issues. Very wet and windy here today lots of fireworks going off too

My Mum has it covered. She unplugs her Smart Meter daily to save electric!

cant argue with logic like that!
