I quite like warm water so usually just fill two thirds will cold and add boiling water from the kettle.

TBH Dirk from your phraseology I sensed all hadn't been good so I opted to stay out of commenting.Thanks to all who gave hugs on my post about my stepmother passing.
To be honest, I am indifferent to the event as I had no emotional attachment to her and I only really viewed her as a barrier to my inheritance after my dad died 10 years ago. ( There were certain shenanigans that went on 25 years ago, when my dad remarried, resulting in a widespread family bust up and my brother being written out of the will)
I, however, kept my nose out of it and played the longer game.
The estate now gets split between myself and my stepbrother.
I will now get a substantial six figure sum for my patience, sometime in the new year.
Glad all is well for the future though.
Wouldn't it be nice to inherit that 20 years earlier
Don't PLEASE don't !!
I have just managed to get pictures of Welshie in her bloomers out of my mind and now you do this to me

Yes there was, some hardy folk out there! There's many trails for off roaders to explore and would recommend this area for a cycling holiday. Forget the NC500! theres routes by the sea and in the hills

Easy answer the second part, roadworks and a diversion further down the A58.Apparently, there has been a big sleepover at the Tan Hill Tavern up in the Yorkshire Dales since Friday night... I know I am a bit unadventurous, but isn't it just a bit daft to go for a night out at the highest pub in Britain when a winter storm is forecast?!
In other winter madness, drivers ignored the weather and got stuck in snowdrifts high up on the A58 between Ripponden and Littleborough. Again, why do it? They could have taken the valley roads instead.
Also some would have wanted to admire the view.

Still damn cold - judged by looking out of teh window
still thin covering of snow on the ground and car but otherwise it looks like it is cloudy and not much wind
should be a nice day for a bike ride if well wrapped up
except that I don't seem to bounce as well as I used to and my tyres are fairly smooth so I have decided to swerve the bike ride -
as opposed to swerving on the bike ride and falling off
some shopping needs doing anyway
and apparently I have to go to the shopping centre later and give someone a blood sample
honestly - the things you have to do to get a pound of sausages these days!!!
(or it might be a trial for a new blood test to detect cancer - but that is less humerous - other opinions may exist)
anyway - time for the second coffee
