Childish I know but absolutely couldn't resist!

Thanks for asking!I wondered that but was too polite to ask!!
Fine now!
I've got a funny story to tell you all in a bit but too busy at the mo, first tea break all day!
Oh and called a "spell" in Hull.
That name I have heard before.Oh and called a "spell" in Hull.
.....that despite the predictions of rain for this afternoon the old bike-shed has been completely re-roofed with 18mm OSB board and an EPDM skin on top.
It should be good for my lifetime now and the roof will probably outlast the timber elements of the shed.
Less than 10 mins after all the tools were put away.....it began to rain. A lucky escape.

We have just got the power back up after four hours. The DNO were great, I phoned up and apparently it only affected three houses in my road
They sent an engineer to check on me as I am classed as vulnerable

My Nan used to say soap and sugar poultice ...
Sugar apparently is amazing for healing. Once watched a prog about how much they use it in Africa, for all sorts of things.
Wot about sugar soap? Will that do?
Well two funny things acksherly.
1/ EDF having been contacted because their bill based on estimated readings since FEB was well ocer the top told me that although I sent in my readings they couldn't change the bill nor send a person to read the meter.
But on carefully reading the email I think I was being hinted at for a solution.
(Sorry this is a bit longwinded, but those who live in Frogland will appreciate it.)
so @Ian M in France, @Datatek @Maurand @frog hopper et al, here we go!
Normally peeps in France have their electric on a simple tariff, one rate during the day another during the night.
But a few, like us have a thing called "Tempo" where you pay much cheaper for Blue days which are most of them, but it goes up on White days and Evden further up on Red days, (Colours of the flag, geddit?!) so, cos we are in blighty during the winter we don't get hit by these days, so this is much cheaper for us.
Recently our meter went up the spout and had toe be replaced by one called a "Linky". you've guessed it, it is the sort that is linked to the internet so both you and EDF can read it at any time, except the system is not fully up and running yet, so it can only read the old normal tariff. But the brill thing is that while it is like that, we get Blue days every single day of the year. cheaper than anyone. Win Win!
But, obvs if you read the meter instead of getting the 6 reads you need, you can only get the two for blue days.
I sent the reads for that and got the knockback. But reading between the lines the person on the end of the emails was telling me, "Give me the zero reads for the 4 others and I'll sort you out!" So I tried it and it worked!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whoopee! They will now be sending me a cheque! All for telling them what they already knew but weren't allowed to key into the computer!
Only in Frogichops land!
2/
Still awake?
Dinner party tomoz.
Wifey prepping the soup.
Makes up and puts in a "bouquet garni" in a little muslin bag.
Liquidises it.
Forgot the bouquet garni!
Very upset!
We try to find it in the soup, even sieving it, no luck.
So I takes a look in the liquidiser.
There it is wrapped around the blades!!!
...................and relax!!!!!!!
So it has been a busy, tiring and eventful day. Got up at 8a.m. Felt well wobbly! Not seen that time for two months!
Sleep well folks, i intend to!

I know, it's getting late.
The frogs love to confuse things to make peeps pay more for stuff. But when it works
you it's great! EDF must be hating peeps like me!
..... that if the rain is not a feature of the day tomorrow I shall be plumbering a "bodge" into another "bodge" but not such an "obvious bodge".
It has to be "not raining" because both the existing "bodge" and the new "bodge" involves running HOT & COLD pipework external to a building because some previous plank/owner of the property put the boiler in the external garage and ran the rising main supply to the boiler and the DHW out from the boiler under the badly made false floor of a conservatory that has now been knocked down.
It is a horror-story, and I hate to perpetuate a "bodge" but the alternative is a £2k new boiler re-sited back in the main house and my son cannot afford that.
When will all this nonsense end I wonder?
