Adawn47 Posted October 2, 2020 #6551 Share Posted October 2, 2020 It's really cold and dismal here this morning. You can feel winter in air now. Where did summer and autumn go? I think I must have lost them somewhere🤔 Avril 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanlyon Posted October 2, 2020 #6552 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Morning all, I'm at the office today. Absolutely lashing down and a howling gale as well. Up to Storm Force 10 by noon. Lovely! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will take a picnic to the beach later then pick my prescription up from the pharmacy. Graham. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switched off the gas and the central heating boiler. Luckily I have an oil filled radiator and three fan heaters. Kettle, microwave and electric shower. glad it is not mid winter. Last time the leak was beneath the concrete lounge floor do they ran a new pipe up the wall and around the bedroom and down into the kitchen. He did a good job and it was completed the day I reported the leak. Poor man took ages to take up those wooden floor panels they use nowadays I hope he can fix the leak easily and quickly for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engineer just left, all fixed, hopefully. It was a leaky regulator valve which should have been replaced years ago, a plasticky thing inside eventually cracks and leaks. No charge but I made a donation to his beer fund 😃 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lives in Kent,so when I drive off the train at Folkestone in Nov,I'll pop round.He had an external gas rerun so I doubt if it's that again.Probably on British Gas side if that's any help.Just tell him not to start smoking right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, a holiday is still a holiday, and I'm sure you will enjoy the break. Than you 😊 1 hour ago, SarahHben said: 😂 Thank you.

Rare P&O SUE Posted October 2, 2020 #6567 Share Posted October 2, 2020 2 hours ago, wowzz said: The one thing that has struck us this week, is that a little more pre-planning is required than before. So, we have pre-booked a table every time we went out for a meal. With every pub/restaurant having fewer tables, you can't just stroll in and expect to be seated immediately. Last night we had take away fish and chips. Pre-ordered on line, and just walked in and picked them up at our chosen time! Yes we had a week off in July and had days out locally, it’s a bit of a faff though having to book everything - it puts you off booking somewhere expensive (say a zoo) then it rains on the day! Your fish and chips sound good. 1 hour ago, kalos said: Have a nice holiday and with all that packing don't forget your cossies & your drinks Have a good time Thanks Kalos 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The start of October is often good weather. One of my friends was due to be married on 3rd October, but, for various reasons they had to switch to a week later. She always says that the day she would have had her anniversary is normally sunny, but her actual anniversary is nearly always dull. However, very gloomy here today. We have someone coming round to look at a small leak in our water cylinder in the airing cupboard. It’s covered by our service plan, , but still hoping it’s a minor job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
