Things are back to normal next door ... the carer has been ... Mr F is up and dressed and in his chair watching his tv ... he has a flask of hot drink and something to eat and his house is toasty warm ... all is well

Happy new month everyone!
I'm surprised we're still "switched on" here...

I got the snow shovel out of the garage , while I still can. The neighbours cat finally went home at 11 pm last night. I had carried him round and put him by the fence twice. Twice he beat me back to my back door. Third time he refused to exit the back door. Fourth time, he trotted off in the snow up to his belly like he hadn't a care in the world. I suspect today he will put up with the two dogs, rather than a visit to the quiet house.
Nanny Beach, check your drip pipe from the boiler. If only the end is frozen, take it off and put a bucket underneath.
You don't stop doing new things because you get old, you get old because you stop doing new things.
Still no call back from heating engineers, but YEAH the emersion heater DOES work, oh my the water is HOT, lucky I tested it before I jumped in, there is no visible thermostat on the tank to regulate this. So just had a lovelly shower and feeling quite warm, have closed all doors possible and the lounge is a balmy 14d!
I bet the tech team are taking a snow day, if they have any sense.
Hubby had to go to docs yesterday for a blood test. While he was out, I got him to get two large milk and a couple of bags of porridge as my stock was low. I found another bag of blackcurrants in the freezer, so purple porridge for us for breakfast. Plenty of stuff in the freezer, so we are staying put today.

OH says he'll walk down to the shop later for some milk, eggs and whatnots ... we appear to have run out of carrots ...... that never happens

Oh, hello Still here? Red warning for us this afternoon, but I went shopping yesterday so don't need to go out. OH decided not to attempt to go to work. So he's here trying to defrost the water to the kitchen instead .
