Glad you have hot water Rufus. I live 12 miles from Central London, and Pre Covid loved going into the City. The restaurants and the buzzy atmosphere. I love cities.
It's very cold today, but it's been pleasant, I drove to a Garden Centre to add to my herb collection, and looks at all the plants. Left partner to watch his football.

DH’s Leeds are 1 up against City
Which City are we talking about? Not Man City surely!/
I can't seem to find EPL at the moment.
Got hot water back just in time 'cos tomorrow's going to be as cold as charity so now I can hop in and out of the shower at will.! with a rosy pink glow! 
Is "Wilko" the Wilkinson garden implements crowd?,
Aveline How did I guess? 
Saw that a copy had just arrived, which I must look out for. No knowing when our o/seas mags will arrive these days.
Cheers
Good Evening Sat’Day!
Joy of joys! The bliss of hot water again! You don’t know what you’ve missed until it’s gone. Plumber arrived with his Eectrician off-sider at 8.50 am, replaced wrecked heater and was gone by 10.30 am!. How’s that for good old-fashioned Aussie service!?
Of course we don’t know how much water was lost overnight; must be lots and he suggested contacting Water Co.to discuss the next inevitably high water bill. He was encouragingly optimistic claiming it’s worked before, not being a deliberate use or waste of water. Worth a try! Might try and get in first before bill is issued!
Aveline , You say you’re in need of a good laugh! As a Newbie you could do worse than take out a sub. to The Oldie Mag” as do several other members. There’s a special rate on offer just now!
Megs I thought Grandad’s Shed had collapsed long ago due to woodworm attacks, or been blown away in your perpetual gales!
One or two Grandads have looked in now and again but ran for their lives; haven’t been heard from since!
But Jaxsjacky has solved it being an allotment holder herself. See next!
Jaxsjacky. Well done! Just as I remembered it,; Dont forget; mate’s rate!
I’ve looked at two sessions and was surprised they last about 40 mins each!
The second was done last month and Dave was working hard with onion sets.
I like his down to earth approach, for example when he fished something out of his “cuppa” (a fly?) with his grubby finger!
Liked his greenhouse; would be comfortably warm I imagine.
Thanks again! Can I get you anything from “Wilkinson’s”?

Now how can you prefer the usually noisy, bustling Outer London to marvellous Melbourne the world’s most liveable City; or was! I don’t think one exists anymore! 
Our vaccine roll-out programme slowly continues and can be summarised with one word; “Confusion” My jab is nowhere in sight, not that I’m bothered.
Keep Well!
Good Health
