My arms are covered with bruises but, although I have to take aspirin as part of my group of tablets every day, the bruises are caused by crashing into door frames.
My sacro iliac back trouble means my steering is dodgy, even in the house. Ah well.
Honest, guv, haven't touch a drop of the hard stuff.

I've just waved goodbye to Kieran, he's rather sweet, he arrived, I switched off R3 so we could discuss today's plan of action and then he very politely asked 'Would it be alright if I choose which radio station we listen to?' So, we had Gold on all day, which is golden oldies interspersed with ads and news from Cardiff and S. Wales, it wasn't too bad but I'm glad to have R3 on now.
Around midday things got to a critical stage, gas pipes renewed etc., almost ready for blast-off so I didn't go out to lunch, and - Hallelujah! It was tested and I have hot water and heat if I want (in fact I've never known the radiators to get so hot) So it's now on Eco mode for hot water only and - take note 8obs - he recommended the thermostat being set at 15° and if it falls below that then the heating kicks in (By 'eck Gladys, the Welsh are a hardy lot!) (I's all wireless technology with the thermostat, once it gets cold I'll play around with settings and it tells you current indoor temp) I'm just so relieved it went without any problems, I cannot be asked to scrub and clean kitchen of dust so I think I'll have a nice hot bath with my new sweet mandarin and grapefruit luxury foam having had two days without hot water.
Glad you are feeling better S_A, give the drugs time and if they still cause digestive problems please do not hesitate to consult your doctor/cardiac nurse for possible change of brand. Sorry I cannot offer advice re aspirin and bruising. Oops, ontopic, couple of heavy showers, windy, but nice and sunny now.Comment

One of the best (if slightly alarming, in context) uses of the phrase "blast-off" I can recall!
Congrats, may it all long warm your cockles.
Presumably this was Breakfast time - the tweets and lollipops clearly leaving Kieran as cold as a Welsh person with a defunct boiler...Originally posted by Anna View Post
So much for your 'strategy', Roger Wright!

Talk of doors and the hard stuff made me think of this - Arthur Lowe's 'drunk routine' with a tent flap: go to 2 minutes 5 seconds in this clip!

Yes, it was 4 largish bowls (5litre) for a commission ....no rush for them, for a friend of a friend of a friend....glaze too thick (due to a mistake I would never ever have made a while back and it was not a months solid work) ....Once upon a time they would have been 2days work, but these days....
....It is (I cannot think of the right adjective)[lets say] interesting how ability and concentration + attention to detail + calculation dim as the amount of personal energy diminishes .... (or mine does anyway)

The BBC 10-day forecast for London is suggesting considerable warmth for the middle of next week, S_A but I don't count that as an Indian Summer.Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View Post
An Indian Summer coincides with my washing all my woolies in readiness for Autumn which I then have to put away because of a surprise warm spell - and I haven't got to that stage yet
The weather was cool & wet this morning and it's warm and sunny now - a typical British Summer's day in fact

That's quite true about the Indian summer - thought there always seems to be disagreement about precisely whenabouts a warm autumnal spell may be so described, some claiming not until November.Originally posted by amateur51 View PostThe BBC 10-day forecast for London is suggesting considerable warmth for the middle of next week, S_A but I don't count that as an Indian Summer.

24 C reached here this afternoon, which has quite surprised me.Comment

Some how or another (it may not come off)....I'm going to try to get to Anglesey on Sunday for a few days....weather looks quite good....NW Scotland where I really want to go looks like a lot of baddish weather (though you never can tell with Scotland)....Anglesey only 4 hours away....
