    Sad but true. Like when our landlord couldn't see why it was an issue that it was 8 degrees in our flat when the boiler broke.

    Landlords are a very good reason to buy a house. Present company excepted of course.

    Sad, cold and unloved. Someone make me clean it while it's cold.

    Ponyplops not blown away which is good. Trying to dry washing has caused us to dust off tumble dryer which has been unused for nearly ten years.
    Need to get hay this weekend.

    Dont worry i didnt take offence.

    It is amazing how many things i try to do on automatic pilot and i cant cos the aga is off.

    Weather so filthy here we didnt take ponyplops out.

    Amazingly the tumble dryer timer works which is weird because I'm sure it didn't before!!
