    Yep! Had a chat with my friend who owns a couple of bars - he has some interesting plans for this summer. Will tell you on Monday!

      Yes. I am off to bed now to catch up on missed sleep!

        Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

          It is officially so cold out there that it's colder than one would wish

          Very lazy wind earlier too, but that seems to have died down now.

          It's still nastily cold though.

          I wish they'd find somebody for the downstairs flat. With somebody down there, the heat rises and helps keep my flat warm.

          Now that the former occupant is getting his heating courtesy of Her Majesty, I'm keeping the chap upstairs' flat warm by the same mechanism without any assistance. And given that he's also an IT contractor and is hardly ever here, it's a waste of heat.

          Ah well

          At least I took the rubbish out. It was starting to get a bit smelly, but now it's in the bin outside it'll be frozen fresh

            Morning Nick

            I trust all is well despite the fact that you are heating the whole of the town singlehanded...

              Hmm...

              That sounded like a door downstairs. Given that I'm the only person in the house, this could be a bad thing

              Better go and check. Maybe it was next door - although one never hears stuff from there

                Minor disconcertion over, I think.

                After a quick recce downstairs, it appears to be OK. However, I've now heard evidence of movement upstairs.

                This reminds me of two facts:
                1. Sometimes my upstairs neighbour allows friends to use his flat when he's away;
                2. They never collect his mail from the hall, so it looks like he's not here, even though somebody else is.


                So taking one thing with another, I don't think there's anything to worry about

                Hi EO

                Things seem to be OK thanks, given the above

                  I should add that I inspected his door, which is immediately opposite mine, and there's no sign of it having been tampered with. Furthermore, I would have heard somebody letting themselves in, so whoever it is was obviously already there. They probably got up for a piss, and slammed the bathroom door or something.

                  Ho hum
