I don't know the answer to this, but do check the rates before going for it. Usually you pay more per energy unit with prepay.

Was there only yesterday and struck me how the two are not coordinated. Saying that, needed the car to get to hospital in the first place 😬

Today's #equinox signals the start of #autumn in the northern hemisphere. Are the leaves colouring yet? With this change in the seasons, carotenoids and anthocyanins become more prominent in senescing leaves for yellow, orange and red colouring.

This is very impressive and looks a lot of fun. Artist Ernesto Neto's SunForceOceanLife, at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston is a massive crocheted suspended walkway that you can climb trhough. Anyone fancy making their own? mymodernmet.com/ernesto-neto…

A beautiful plant - common enough on damp ground. Food plant for Orange-tip and Green-veined White #FarmlandBiodiversity

Hand-wash with gloves on and really hot water?

I understand... I rinse really well and throw in the wash, but then again my housekeeping standards are not perfect. I do wash cloths, towels, tea towels etc together, and bedding on their own.

Do you have a microwave? You can put the wet/damp cloth in an appropriate container and blast it for 4-5 minutes. Boils the nasties before putting it in the wash. Also, people used to have separate high temp washes for towels etc. for hygiene reasons...
