Glad you're sorted Peter.
Thanks for the heads up about the bin men Kev. I had noted it but forgotten. I shall put the bin out!

The US has seized an oil tanker that had recently departed from Venezuela, according to the US Department of Homeland Security. It is the second time this month that the US has seized an oil-carrying ship off the country's coast. The move comes after US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he was ordering a "blockade" of sanctioned oil tankers entering and leaving Venezuela. Venezuela has condemned the latest US seizure, describing it as "theft and kidnapping". Venezuela has previously accused the US of trying to steal its resources. "These acts will not go unpunished," a statement from the Venezuelan government said, adding that it intends to file a complaint with the UN Security Council and "other multilateral agencies and the governments of the world".
Legitimate foreign policy or biased aggression. You pays your money and takes your choice.

I notice in that news report that US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth posted on X that: "Violence, drugs, and chaos will not control the Western Hemisphere." No, but he and Trump intend to `control the Western Hemisphere'.

52% off a Tower air fryer on Amazon, they weren't that much of a bargain with the Black Friday deal. It has two drawers, a 5l and a 3l, which work independently of each other. We've had the single drawer one for 3 years now and decided we needed a bigger one.
