		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes we have to ignore the &#8216;big picture&#8217; (global catastrophes and so on) and worry about the little problems instead. For example, how is it possible that every week I need to change lightbulbs when each one comes with a &#8216;two year guarantee&#8217; and cost many times what an &#8216;old-fashioned&#8217; lightbulb cost? Certainly electrical and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[April is a good month. Mrs B&#8217;s garden springs into bloom, we tidy away all the rubbish, and generally get things looking beautiful after a winter of neglect. This is usually a good plan. February and March are often a bit cold or wet to be doing much outside, and by May things are getting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Autumn  is just around the corner and thoughts turn to heating &#8211; and even better heating that doesn&#8217;t cost much. A couple of years ago I wrote about the trend towards using heat pumps (pompe a chaleur) as an alternative to &#8216;conventional&#8217; heating &#8211; in principle a great idea since it extracts heat from the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One downside of getting English TV, apart from the difficulty of choosing what to watch from 100 channels of unwatchable rubbish,  is that I have discovered that one channel seems to show a lot of re-runs of Grand Designs. I always was a &#8216;Grand Designs addict&#8217; and now it seems I have nine years of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[February is always the least exciting month in our year. If it&#8217;s going to be cold, or wet, or both, at some point in the year it is usually in February. As if to prove the point, this week has been too cold for cycling, which means I&#8217;ve been stomping around the house looking grumpy, while Mrs B has [...]]]></description>

Better late than never, and it might just help reduce the cost of fuel / oil next year &#8211; which I&#8217;d guess won&#8217;t be any less than it is now. There are now [...]]]></description>
