I’m in poor form today. I waited up all night for the heating engineer, binge viewing some unwatched Gardeners’ World episodes from the summer, but eventually dozed for a couple of hours at 6.00 am. At 9.00 I phoned British Gas to find out what had happened and they apologised profusely and sent out another emergency engineer. (The leak had all but vanished overnight but I did not let on). By late morning the plumber arrived and fixed the problem.
 Oddly, I was still not especially tired but now I bloody am and will be rubbish company at tonight’s dinner party to see in the New Year. A bath and a quick kip might perk me up.
Oh how annoying @bencotto ... but at least the boiler is fixed 🤞
Have your bath and a quick kip, then we'll tip a lot of ☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕ down your throat ... that'll keep you awake until next year!!! 🥂

Just tried to order my usual 30 kg of sunflower seeds for the birds but only 20kg seems to be now available so I've had to order that. Hopefully it will come in two 10kg sacks which be easier to lift.
I ordered 25kg of sunflower seeds last weekend. It arrived this morning at 7.20 by DPD. He dumped it by the garage. I found it around 11 am, slightly wet.
That's a lot of sunflowers! I was so tired yesterday falling asleep by 1, crawled off to bed at 11pm, went to sleep pretty quickly,very unusual for me. There wasn't a single light on in any of the houses. Woke up at midnight by fireworks, wondering what the hell it was,then couldn't b**** well get back to sleep!!!
I don't think they're for sowing @Nanny Beach That gale force winds and rain woke me at half five. I was sound from about half ten on the settee [as usual] then got to sleep quite quickly when I woke and went to bed.
At least the mild weather means a saving on the heating. It's hardly been on in the last few days. Not healthy to be into double figures at this time of year though, and it was double figures overnight. Horrible.Â
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Fairygirl, glad IM not the only one. The previous day, I didnt fall aslep once on the sofa, went to bed at 11.30, had quite a good nights sleep, up at 6.30, yesterday falling asleep by 1 , so many times it was ridiculous! At least you aren't "clutching your pearls". Doing my bit here, as most folks, but on another "forum, (you know the one) folk watched, "Don't look Up", I've not seen it, only a trailer, gather it's a spoof about a comet hitting the earth. Aparently, there is going to be an iceage, 2030. There have been many such films about meteors etc hitting the earth, and films about pandemics, who said, "there is nothing to fear, but fear itself".

He got annoyed w/o when I mentioned it. No sweat . Clean clothes and shiny hair. I bet when someone inevitably gets shot, there will be no blood to ruin the costumes.
