The *b* boiler woke daughter & me up after 6- whistling again! After some fiddling of controls & much swearing, we've shut it up, but I was really awake. So have take the weekly tablet & am now having porridge & coffee. Daughter gone back to sleep I think.
Bjay- that's a rotten train journey for your son. Yes, we still worry even now- wonder if that'll get less when she finally leaves? At least when she was living away you didnt know what she was doing so no/less worry. J.
Fed the birds earlier. It was quite mild and pleasant outside, so I had a casual stroll round the garden looking for a few jobs to do. Think I might prune some sumac trees, they need cutting back each year. Was thinking of collecting some leaves, but the majority have yet to fall. I'd much rather do any jobs now, than wait till it's wet and cold.
Re the boiler. Daughter 'googled' it, of course & it's a common problem. Great. The engineer is coming back in about 10 days time to fit a new shower & bath, so all the niggles are being listed & shall be duely reported. Thing is we must be using less gas as last night it barely came on at all & neither of us grumbled about feeling cold. The old boiler would still have come on/off regardless I think.
It's almost daylight out there now. Have put some washing on & shall eventually be outside to 'do' things. Leaf collection first, then get the narcissus bulbs into their pots & do some cutting back, taking a border at a time, not all at once as in the past. Can take all the daylight hours, & if energy holds up, as meal tonight is easy & got snacks for lunch. Need to do a shoplist/menu tonight though. J.

Can you not get through to him on his mobile Bjay?
Oh yes I am in contact. it's just the morons that travel around B'ram especially. I'm just being a silly mother old as he is!!
It's only natural. As you say, it's the other people that worry you.
It is silly of me cos he is a manager in a pub and deals with all sorts. Ignore me.
Just watched I'm a Celeb-baked spider anyone?
Going to bed -nite peeps
Night Geoff!

good morning Jo and anyone else who is awake.
I don't know anything about boilers but maybe the installer should come back. It might just need some adjustments.
When Bjay said her son had been to Cannock Chase I feared the worst. Didn't Becks say there were Yetis, big Cats and UFOs there.
I thought I'd discovered Dean's secret identity when I asked if he had a dog called Nigel but I was wrong.
Morning forkers.
