Three days of winter hell so far, bored to tears, unable to get out or get to work (so no earnings) :'(

Heading for 26 C might have to wander to beach later to cool off. Having to mow lawn at least once a week :roll:

We've had some snow here but nothing nasty - even though we live on a steep-ish hill, winter tyres on both cars means we usually manage ok. :) However, the central heating's packed up this afternoon! :shock: More specifically, the pump has, and its dripping water from one of the unions underneath. :roll: And then I find out that our 'home emergency cover' is somewhat more relaxed than its name makes it sound - I had visions of a blue-light equipped, fast response plumber turning out. Nope, we get an all-day appointment tomorrow. Bugger. Mulled wine on the go, fleecey blankets all round, we're quite cosy really! And saving money! :D

Hope you get the central heating fixed soon. There isn't much that is more miserable than broken central heating in winter (I'm sure there must be more miserable things, but I just can't think what). While I criticise our home cover supplier for messing us about with unkept appointments, they did once come out on Christmas Day - very quickly too and had it back up and running before lunch.

We had a brilliant day on Sunday in the snow. Took our daughter's young dog for her first experience in the snow. A long walk over the fields, with the dog charging about catching snowballs. Sledging and snowball fights - love it. To be fair, Steve, your snow does look a lot deeper than ours was (it's pretty well gone today).

In every dog there exists a wolf.

It`s winter lads what can we expect! In Farthingstone last night I bumped into the ghost of Christmas past. Proper Dickensian experience. The Happy Hooker served me well.
