Posted a pic watering my runner beans last summer, but the text seems to have disappeared in transit....just wanted to post something cheerful from last year's beautiful summer.
I thought you were suggesting I have a cold shower to calm myself down David !
Come to DK Towers for a cold shower....the bluddy boiler engineer has just told me that 'they've sent the wrong parts' and he will have to re-order and the job will not be done until sometime next week.
I'm aware this isn't a chat thread, but feel I must update you on the boiler saga....I'll try to keep it as brief as I can.
I should say here that whilst not being a 'boiler engineer', I do quite a lot of DIY and have a fair idea of plumbing, electricity (and a modicum of common sense) etc and how they work.
Having listened to the 'engineers' explanation of why the parts he ordered didn't fit, I noticed that a steel plate at the base of the boiler wasn't fitted as I would have thought (upside down to be precise) and if he reversed it I could imagine things (screw holes etc) would be where they should be.
To cut a long story short, I have a fully functioning central heating system again.

Spring's definitely on the way....
Emerging Pasque flowers:
and Iceplants :
and dwarf Iris (I know it says crocus but I was having a senior moment!) :
and Clematis :
and some berries on the Gaultheria procumbens ( think you can get ointment for that...
) :
Not long to go now!
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Very good David!
Sorry the clematis buds are a bit blurry. Didn't have my specs on

Encouraging to see those, Fairygirl.

David, how stupid are they ? Are you sure they don't finish early on a Friday !
Hugs &
KEF - that is the trouble with Friday appointments - buck passing at its finest
David get angry with those t***s and hope this might cheer you a teeny, tiny bit.
This has just opened up:
A little gem. 'Purple Gem' to be precise.

Sheeeesh!!!!
David I'm glad, but Corgi registered fool or what? Our life in their hands in terms of gas !!
Have a drink, chill & be warm, never mind any mess.
p.s I hope Fairy doesn't read about what's happened.
