    Thanks both. Does anyone else have any jobs they’d like me to do during my vigil?

  • How’s your ironing?

    Well, I'd ask you to do my Tax Return but I've done that and you live too far away to paint my shed even though there's an outside light. Dove's ironing might come in handy for you though.

  • Well at least it’ll help keep you warm if the heating is off. Mind you, I hardly ever iron so it’d be mean to make you do it just your something to do … you could just sit on the sofa with a good book and Radio 3 😍

    Hope it soon gets sorted @BenCotto.

    We had a similar situation - during mid January a few years ago, and we couldn't get anyone to come out for a week. We arrived home after work one day to find a nice flood in the hall downstairs. Fortunately, I had some very large containers to catch the water!  
    At least it's a lot warmer just now in most areas, so hopefully you aren't frozen @BenCotto. Did you have other heating you were able to use? Fingers crossed that you get it fixed.
    Why does it never happen during summer....

    My curmudge is that, as a Santander customer, when I heard they'd accidentally transferred wads of dosh  into customer accounts by mistake, I optimistically checked my account. 
    Damn... :D
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Hope your boiler gets fixed soon @BenCotto.  One blessing is that it is relatively mild at the moment.
    @Allotment Boy - if there is a port on the tablet that will take it, you could use scart to HDMI lead to go from your tv to the tablet.  You then use your tv menu to find HDMI channel and voila - what appears on the tablet (or in my case, laptop) appears on the TV screen, with the sound coming from the tv, not the device.  We don't have a smart tv so its the only we can access iplayer/netflix etc.
    No curmudgeon from me today - unless the car won't start. Fingers crossed.

    Car started fine and behaved itself.  The exhibition was fab - Perry's angsty times pre-therapy expressed in pots.  And another exhibition on Constructivist art in Britain since 1951 was on with it so that was a bonus (if you like geometrical art).  Also, upstairs some Japanese photographer showing the intensity of flowers just before they die.  I see better flower photographs on the forum!

    I thought that when I saw some prize-winning photos on the BBC news site a while back. 
    In London. Keen but lazy.
