Octopus energy saving hour today. I have just finished work and will make the tea a bit early as they are doing 18:30 - 19:30 today. We can be eating at that time. In the dark. I will put the ninja on to cook it too, as it is just "curry bits". Some of it goes in the microwave and the sides can go in the air-fryer.

Used the Ninja yesterday too to do myself Linda McCartney vegan souther fried grill type things, and some chips. It really is good at these.

Have avoided London tomorrow, because of train strikes, nice. I have not avoided the banking fiasco though. Will we lose another bank? More than one? I thought I was "buying the dip" after the Lloyds shares crashed earlier in the week, but they immediately crashed further and I lost all my new money. Well sort of lost. I bought some shares, I still have those shares, they're just worth less now. Next time dividends come round I I will still have a load more shares.

I see it is twenty years ago this very day the only time I was allowed to do a best man's speech. Happy anniversary to the happy couple and I hope to see you soon.
