They haven't finished yet and are coming in Mon to wire the boiler.
It's taken so long because a new boiler was installed so drilling thru the wall for the flue, pipes, removing the immersion heater and a whole load of pipes as well as taking out the old boiler which was behind the fire and taking the fire out too. A very big job that's going to cost oodles............. but I've got warm towels, heat and hot water.
BG still beastly
Mornin’ all, or is it afternoon yet? Back home now and’ll be doing more or less b all today which is utter bliss to look forward to.
I saw few people wearing face masks on the journey home. The only one on the train from St P to the south east had just come in from Taiwan, a lovely young man who’s here for a language course as part of his MA requirement. He’ll be returning to Taiwan to complete when he’s done here. It’s an MA in chemical Engineering, concentrating on batteries: maybe we’ll be thanking him for better storage and longer lasting devices. Hope so. There was a bit of recoil to his mask in the lift at the station but people relaxed when he pressed the wrong button and he feared he’d broken the lift - joked that the man who was from the country that made much of our tech feared he’d wrecked it.
As a footnote he was surprised we weren’t all wearing face masks here. Discussed hand washing. His face lit up when I pointed him in the direction of the oriental food emporium when we both got off the train here in my home town.

I'm in SE Asia at the moment. Quite a number of people do the mask thing here, as a meter of course.
Interestingly enough, a few days after arriving, my OH remarked there appeared fewer in masks than in the past.
I was discussing this with my best face that face masks might be providing a false sense of security. Like if we have an open wound or an infection can go through our eye balls. I’d be the same telling everyone to wash their hands properly with warm soapy water.
I’d looked into chemical engineering few years ago and it wasn’t for me. But grats to him!
I heard people in HK are not able to buy masks, hand sanitizers etc so there’s not many to go around
Might you be able to create residence in Portugal during the eleven months we have left to retain the health care?Afternoon. Feeling rubbish due to a not-flu-but-flu-like-lurgy, have missed my weekend in North Wales with my favourite and in the world (but did get a video message to say hello from the singer and my friends), teenager grumpy because he didn’t get his planned “home alone” weekend, and sugars are all over the place. Oh, and Brexit is pretty depressing for those of us (ie my husbeast and me) who were planning to retire to Portugal in a few years but were relying on the reciprocal healthcare agreement to do so.
Hope you’re all better than me
Sadly not, we looked into that.Might you be able to create residence in Portugal during the eleven months we have left to retain the health care?

Does anyone else’s pump beeps frequently? I have yet to have a good nights sleepI can silence it/ turn the beeps off but it’ll defeat the purpose of having it right?
