    After getting the new vertical ones installed, there's been a bit of gurgling in the system. Air always coming out of just 2 rads. After taking advice from my plumber, I've turned all the other rads off and am letting the heating circulate for a while. Then go back and bleed again. Should be done in an hour.
    how much are you charging clientco for this bleeding?

        It's all part of the office politics*



        *Particularly when you work from home and your wife complains from her office that there's a gurgling sound every time the heat comes on

            The Nectar card shenanigans has been sorted out (well, partially, with completion of the process expected soon) so I went a-shopping!

            In fact, I went to M&S first, solely because the chocolate peanut cluster things I got from there last week were so nice that I've scoffed the lot and wanted more

            I got other stuff as well while I was there, though. For a start, right next to them were some chocolate honeycomb things which looked rather nice

            Onwards to Sainsbury's, though in fact I didn't need a huge amount from there - didn't even get the bill over £100 which is a surprise nowadays, particularly given that I bought razor blades, which cost more than the crown jewels on their own

            Homewards, then, via the VAT fraud chip shop, so tea has been fish & chips

            The chestnut outside the old flat is now in bloom, and the Polish café seems to be doing OK

              That's the spirit!

                There was a new episode of the Brighton cops thing tonight, including an interesting bit where a guy's rucksack had been pinched from the railway station. He'd used Find My to track his iPad to a hotel and, upon checking with the receptionist, had even sussed out which room it was in. When the cops went to the room, the occupants had already scarpered in a hurry (having presumably seen the police car pull up outside), leaving the rucksack behind

                Goodnight all

                  Well that was a fun thunderstorm.

                  Much lightning, lots of thunder, torrential rain. Lasted about an hour but there's still some flashes as it moves away to bother another area

                  The conservatory leaked and I had to spend half an hour mopping up. Fortunately HWMBO's eldest is here at the moment and they helped.

                    Morning denizens

                    Grey start again, but no sign of rain. Warm again, being 11°C already and likely to reach 20°. The barometers are down some more though, at 991/999mB

                    I have to pop over the park to the doctor's shortly to drop off a week's worth of blood pressure readings. I'm pretty sure that last year I was able to log them online, but maybe funding cuts led to them instead supplying a link to a PDF that you have to print out and fill in with a pen, like some kind of mediæval scribe

                      Morning all
                      A foreshortened walk this morning due to the inclemency of the weather, also about 4km in we got to a lane where the water was flowing fast over the whole width of the lane. I knew that meant we'd arrive at a pool of similar size to the one "man of the people, not one of the elite" Sunak put in to his Yorkshire home.
