The boring thread.....

Just been reading that people in parts of North Yorkshire have had leaflets put through their doors asking them to boil their drinking water.   Apparently it is full of bacteria and not safe to drink!

I'm so pleased as he's going to take over my boiler maintenance too, AND he only lives around the corner
AND he was recommended by the fella who cuts my grass.

It's great when you can find reliable tradesmen via word of mouth.  We had a guy who built us steps, put up new fencing, installed our kitchen, laid the base for a new shed, and  lots of other stuff. We passed on his details to friends, he was always busy.  Then he retired.

I do not have my water on meter... I hate being restricted to what I use..

Good morning all.

Sadly, I seem surrounded by bad news lately. 
I have been to 3 funerals already this spring.

Another friend is dying of cancer as we speak.  I visited her yesterday and she has practically stopped eating and drinking now, so things don't look good.

Another friend popped in briefly this morning, then her phone rang, and she was told her Mother has just died in hosp

Sorry to be such a misery,  but it's horrible all these really bad things happening so close together.

However, its another lovely morning outside,  so I will spend the day fiddling about in the garden and listening to the birds sing. 
I have some big plants to divide,  things to pot on, and the inevitable weeds to clear etc.
Being out in nature is always a good tonic.

They put us on meters around here a year or so back, Scrumpy.  We had no say in it.  We were just told they were coming to do it.
It doesn't make much difference to me,  we've still got to use it, and pay for it,  whether it is metered or not I suppose.

the idea that one will use less water if metered is absurd for any thinking person who use what is needed, no more, no less whether metered or not
