We’ve had the same lady servicing our boiler for more years than I can remember. She came highly recommend by the ex British Gas engineer who had trained her as an apprentice and had been servicing our boiler until he retired. She charges £65. I remarked that her charge hadn’t gone up and she said she keeps the price the same for three years and then does a reappraisal.

Good day from another friggin' cold morning in Lancashire. A busy day ahead with ironing, housework this morning, card group this afternoon and #2 son's birthday this evening. Geez I'm exhausted already. I'll update you on my holiday later but sufficient to say for the moment it was great.
I've been considering a winter cycling gilet and mentioned this to Mrs P. "You can borrow mine if you like" "Great. Thank you" About 10.45pm Tuesday night and I'm just drifting off to sleep when I hear "You're not going to sweat in my gilet are you?"
So Wednesday in the cafe one of my buddies tells me he's brought along his Galibier quilted gilet for me to try. Popped it on for the ride home. I'd had 26 miles of chilly upper body and cold hands and feet on the ride out. Going home my upper body was very comfortable and my feet and hands warm - guess that must be because the body doesn't have to concentrate on keeping the core warm?? I feel a purchase coming on.....................
So you can see not much has changed in my life.......................catch you all later.

Not here either.
It was here, but it's just about set, and the temperature is dropping.

The sun shines on the righteous as they say.
And also on the non righteous Welshie, so you’re covered either way 😉The sun shines on the righteous as they say.
