I have risen!
Tier 4 here, and it makes absolutely zero difference whatsoever to my daily life.

Does to a hell of a lot of others though, like you I am not too effected but I worry about those that are. For sure though I stick to the rules and wish everyone else would.

Good morning folks, it looks like we are in need of a a plumber if I can get one, our boiler isn't holding pressure.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Morning. We have had a smattering of snow. Might still be a few snowflakes coming down as well. 
Stay safe folks

The 1st toothbrush was invented by an Irish guy.
He actually invented the toilet brush and after the first use he thought "i have some food trapped in my teeth...... I wonder if

I'm far from an expert but have a neighbour who is an absolute whizz. I had this problem a few years back and together we repressurised this system which solved the problem.
It was a very simple operation but must say I'm very nervous of doing these things.

I'm having to repressurise ours every morning, leak or boiler problem.
Good morning gentle folk.
We seem to have had a good load of the white stuff. Must have only just happened as the guy opposite leaves for work at 06.00ish and there are no tyre tracks.
Another heavy sleep......was in bed by 22 00 and woke about 07.00.
Was planning a short walk but yesterday it was treacherous so, with added snow it may be worse.

Good day. It's snowing - nothing major but snow. We planned to go for a decent walk but have to drive 3-4 miles to the start. It will be beautiful so I hope Mrs P is not dissuaded by this. Forecast for 10.00 onwards is good.
We are Tier 4. I've read the rules. The only change for me is riding in pairs, groups kicked in to touch for a while.
No 1 son is returning my hybrid later today. Not sure if this is permitted, probably not but I have to get the bike fettled in time for No 3 son to begin commuting on Monday.
No other plans. There's still debate over seeing the New Year in. For Mrs P, being Scottish, it's a big deal. I'm inclined to go to bed but feel I shouldn't leave her to celebrate alone.

Ah, yes that's a plumber problem. Good luck. 🤞
I have 2 valve/tap type thingies beneath the boiler. When the pressure drops I open both, wait till the needle reaches the black then close them. No idea if this is common to all heating systems.
Good morning all.
It's very frosty here.
Out soon to drop MrsP at Barnet hospital as she has an appointment in the Xray department to take images of her feet. She is showing signs of arthritis, and has the pain also.
Then the usual dog walking and other stuff that needs doing.
I had some more bad news this morning. Another ex colleague from work died last night from covid complications. He retired about 6 years ago.
Stay safe everyone

Bore da pawb.
Dry and cold here at the moment although the Met Office has a yellow snow and ice warning. 🥶
Now that could be a lot of yellow snow!
