Wet and a cold wind tho’ the temp. at the back ( north) side of the house is 5 degrees. Not going cycling again as I don’t want my nice clean trike to get all wet and mucky. Morning visit to the surgery to get my bloods done and B12 jab. The nurse took my blood pressure and then did it again and again before declaring it the best it has ever been. Blood pressure of an 18 year old she said. That was a long time ago. We also had a chat about politics and she is very annoyed at the BBC in particular for continually rubbishing the Scottish NHS and frightening the parents of infants to this end. She has young children herself and not long back from maternity leave. Nice girl who has been doing my jabs for a few years now.
Yes, we are the last of 10 houses on this drain. There wont be a charge but we will have to wait for them.......up to 2 days.We had a similar problem, thankfully, only once (so far)!
I am sure you already know this, but, it is worth noting, if the sewer/drain is on your property, but, is a shared drain/sewer, the Water Authority will unblock FoC.
In our case, Northumberland Water were there within an hour and cleared the problem.
Not a job I would fancy
Am I allowed to use that word "job", it is a bit close to that four letter word "work".

I once got a 2 day ban for being too sexy - it was to protect Pat the Mod from losing control.

Hmm. Had a delivery from Yodel earlier in the week, left in one of the recycling bins ... which is apt, 'cos I was out cycling. Interestingly though, I hadn't ordered anything. The parcel had the right postcode (though it was delivered here rather than one of the 8 other properties with thay postcode), but none of the rest of the address indicated it was for here. The recipient, as indicated clearly on the parcel, should have been SafetyKleen a large chemical waste recycling firm a couple of miles away. Not sure whether the Yodeller thought the recycling plant must have been round the back of the house on the patio?!

Your patio must be very safe and clean, hence the obvious confusion.

I need to order my mum flowers from interflora for Christmas.
Are you sure that wasn't for being too smelly ??

I am an avid "online shopper", plus, being retired, we are often at home when parcels for working neighbours arrive, and will almost always take in parcels for neighbours.
As a result, I am on "friendly terms" with our Royal Mail postie, and, many Courier drivers.
Although many of them tell me it is "against the rules", mostly, if I am not in, and, a parcel arrives, they will leave it in the recycling bin, or, some other "safe place", thus saving me having to chase it up, and, them having to re-deliver.
I don't know how true this is, but, one of my "drinking pals" claims that Yodel drivers get only 50p per parcel, and, then, only when parcel is actually delivered.
We have had a bottle of champas in the fridge for 12 months.....a pressie from someone. We just cant get in the mood for itWe're just about to settle down in the snug with a bottle of fizz, a box of choccie biccies and the classic Alistair Sim version of A Christmas Carol.
It's all go!
