    Yes :)
    And be ready for the surprise sudden gush of water into the system and the speed it refills at, which took just 3-4 seconds.

    The first spotted grey thingies were the right ones. The later-spotted bigger black ones that then became "the ones" in my mind were the wrong ones, so I was right to wait it out.

    God only knows what would've happened if I'd just given up and turned the big black ones

    If you had turned the wrong knobs, nothing would have happened. You would have turned off the flow and return, which would have had no effect, as the boiler is off. :)
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    That is far too nice-sounding. Dark chocolate is the very thing.

    DW made CBC today to celebrate wedding anniversary. That's chocolate biscuit cake. Very moreish.

    Happy (belated) anniversary. GDB! :T

    There's not a wasted word in the phrase "chocolate biscuit cake". :D

    Which would be worthy of a choccy biscuit.

    Our favourite is also dark choc digestive, preferably kept in the fridge.

    Already eaten it! In fact there is now only one left, so I'm saving that for when I've finished the lot.

    Slowing down now. These last 7 criteria are more complicated to assess.

    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    This is the Night Mail crossing the border,
    Bringing the cheque and the postal order,
    Letters for the rich, letters for the poor,
    The shop at the corner and the girl next door.
    Pulling up Beattock, a steady climb:
    The gradient's against her, but she's on time.
    Past cotton-grass and moorland boulder
    Shovelling white steam over her shoulder,
    Snorting noisily as she passes
    Silent miles of wind-bent grasses.


    I can well imagine you shovelling white steam over your shoulder. :)

    That's one hell of a lot to have accomplished in one day!

    No doubt you will now seek permission to stay up late; it is already late - even for a non-school night.

    I can stay up as late as I like tonight and sleep without an alarm tomorrow morning - unless next door's building work wakes me up.

    Now half way through that final chocolate digestive. :)
    Good night all, and thanks again for the support! :T
