As for British politics, as much as previously I would have hated to see Scottish independence I think it could be a very real possibility now - and good for you guys if it happens!Treadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613671137557939083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674486998769998428.post-2695357866704184512022-07-22T07:55:18.228+01:002022-07-22T07:55:18.228+01:00Hi, I meant to comment sooner but I'm not on t...Hi, I meant to comment sooner but I'm not on the computer as much these days as it's upstairs and its hot, hot, hot up there just now! It is a laptop which I could bring downstairs of course but that would be too sensible!! I read stuff on my phone in the mornings which steals my time too. I often wonder what we did with all our time before the internet! Sounds like all is well in your corner of the world. I hope your neighbour finds the courage to sell up and move! Life is too short to stay unhappily with someone though I realise its not easy to walk away. I'm glad Jordan walked away from his situation too, I'm sure he's much happier now. Its sounds like a lovely town they live in. Charlie sounds adorable. My only thoughts on our political disaster area is that we probably have a better chance of getting independence now!!!!

And I asked the guy if I could deduct something from the solar panel installation on my taxes but the government here has likewise gone back on this recently! Oh well! As for Max, I hadn't thought about it that way but you're probably right - it will save their friendship not having to work together, especially with Max being the boss!Treadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613671137557939083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674486998769998428.post-75539801484849054402022-07-18T17:42:16.690+01:002022-07-18T17:42:16.690+01:00So happy you get Charlie time!

Glad he and Max will remain friends, this working situation ending saved their friendship! I hope the solar panels recoup for you in the timeframe the guy mentioned, a great idea. Our government used to offer subsidies but then folks got elected who think like Boris and everything is gone. They care only about their bottom dollar! jjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077039940023067584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674486998769998428.post-60780092689938930252022-07-14T15:03:17.562+01:002022-07-14T15:03:17.562+01:00When I commented to the young man that it would ta...When I commented to the young man that it would take me 12 years to recoup my costs he pointed out that currently electricity prices are capped in France until 31 December. After that, with prices set to go up, he reckoned I would recoup my costs at 6-7 years - but who knows right? I still think it's the right way to go but I'll let you know in 12 years time!Treadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613671137557939083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674486998769998428.post-54820174107336325012022-07-14T14:10:05.658+01:002022-07-14T14:10:05.658+01:00What I can’t understand with the cost of solar pan...What I can’t understand with the cost of solar panels is how the time span to recover the cost of installation seems to have remained the same here in the UK despite the massive jump in electricity costs. Sick of constant profiteering and it is only likely to continue or perhaps get worse under most of those leadership contenders you refer to.Caree Risoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16454194093120715901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674486998769998428.post-84758440387844911982022-07-14T09:05:28.490+01:002022-07-14T09:05:28.490+01:00While I wouldn't want to look after Charlie fu...While I wouldn't want to look after Charlie full time (too tiring), he is an absolute blast to be with on the days I do have him!
