They're exploiting us as consumers; it's probably time to fight back, even if it's not affecting you.

1. Buy what you need, not what you want.
2. Shop smarter, go for offers, or avoid highest rising goods.
3. Shop local, avoid big corp if you can.
4. Have a 'save' mindset.

If we stop coming, they'll notice where it hurts, in their P&L.

IT'S POWER WE HAVE TO DILUTE...

...and yet we never do.

WHAT AM I READING?

I've recently finished the Concert Hall Killer by Jonathan Whitelaw, a cosy crime tale with interesting characters. I guessed the end right this time.

I have just started the Crying Cave Killings by Wes Markin, a crime story set in Knaresborough in Yorkshire, close to where I live. This is the 3rd I've read in the series and I am liking the characters with their complex life stories.

As a Christmas present, I bought I want a Crocodile and Make it Snappy, a collection of short stories & poems for kids written by a bunch of Yorkshire authors. Proceeds of the book are being donated to the Cleft Lip and Palate charity (CLAPA).

Working on it!

My autistic granddaughter has life limiting social anxiety & had to give up her electricians job because she couldn't cope (& she really was struggling, sticking at it for 8 years) she's set up a business making nature-friendly products from rescued oak and I think she's made a good job. Next step, selling some.

#SilentSunday November 8th, flowers like these still in our English garden. We're told that the polar vortex is about to dump bitter cold weather on us so we'll make the most of the spectacle whilst it's there.

I understand. I paint to escape from the rat race. Wouldn't dream of selling any of them, even if anyone wanted them.
