the giant mechanical clanking bears of the bin men have just been (two whole bags of recycling and horsemouth will check soon if they've taken the rubbish or if that's next week). recycling takes are up since the council bought the new moebius designed lorries. every once in a while one will get up on its hind legs and roar.
sadly horsemouth has very nearly finished his coffee already.this morning he was dreaming about being involved in a coup attempt in pakistan (he was head of the airforce with some kind of a radio device). it took him a while to get comfortable last night.
he just had a bit of a play. rain and snow and katie cruel - neither of which he has successfully landed yet.
while horsemouth was up at aldi's yesterday punxsutawney phil (the famous groundhog) made his prognostication. six weeks more of winter it is.
just a day or two over two and a half years since the release of musicians of bremen volume four.
today is bandcamp friday - friday 3rd february (when musicians of bremen get to keep more of the money from the sale). so if you have any gaps in your musicians of bremen collection today would be a good time to fill them.

a friend has decided against an air source heat pump and gone for an A rated combi-boiler instead. why should heating with electric be 3.5 times more expensive than heating with gas?
er. the way forward (we are being told) is air source heat pumps (but maybe not just yet). these are the magical 3 times more efficient than conventional electric water heaters giving you are decent chance of heating your water and house for the same money as gas. the first step is to insulate your house down to an annual heating usage of about 90kwh/m2/year (a good EPC C - they are probably there already tbh). you need an external box about the size of a fridge (sited about 1m away from the neighbours) and space for an internal water storage tank. if you are end of terrace you'll have more heat loss out of that wall and would probably need either external insulation or internal insulation on it
at the weekend maybe more guitar. soon enough it must be howard's half term.
