Oh, no! It was a very pleasant 20deg here today, shorts on, (in the garden, I wouldn't dare go out wearing them now) shock

Just looked at the Met forecast, Sunny 14deg from 11.00 onwards. They are never spot on so I am convincing myself it will be at least 18. grin

The air would have been blue in my house had I gone through that in one day Marmight. Sending you calming vibes and suntan lotion. Relax in the garden with a good book and this too shall pass. Quickly, I hope.

Remember the Swann and Flanders' song, Marmight? 'It was on a Monday morning that the gasman came to call.....' (of course, they were before my time.winkgrin

.... Why does everything happen at once? On Friday I had the Gas Board out to service the boiler and then back again on Monday to deal with a leak from the tank overflow caused by underfloor heating overheating.. On Tuesday I waited in all day for a carrier to pick up the vacuum cleaner, which packed up last week, to be mended. They said they called (they didn't as I and my decorator were in all day). They came today - I was out. Yesterday my laptop died so my computer guru came today and read the death rites and we I had to order a new one. This afternoon the electrics in my kitchen flipped the trip switch for the umpteenth time, so I will have to get an electrician in. The decorator is in to sort out a leak mark on the ceiling caused by the outflow from the bath becoming detached from the out pipe; he rubbed down the paintwork leaving a film of paint dust on everything within 50 feet having omitted to use the lovely new dust sheets with which he arrived ....... Next?
At least the sunshine is shining!
