Good morning it’s a lovely bright start to the day but a tad chilly at only 3 degrees. 🥶

We are going to wrap up and go for a walk, we need a few bits from Morrisons so we’ll do a circular route to get our daily step target.

How is everyone? What does the day have in store for you?

Good Morning all. It's a beautiful morning here. Who'd have thought we've had two weeks of constant rainfall.

We are both busy this morning in the garden. Last lawn cut, and picking up the leaves and a general tidying up.

Some of our flowers held on until last night but I think the frost has done for them. It is very chilly out and we are well wrapped up for the task.

Washing the evening dinner pots was a little different tonight with a big surprise when the floor became soaked with water. The waste pipe became detached from the kitchen sink. Looks like we need some new parts to fix it.

It's good that we have plumbing & drain cover with our energy supplier, so we were pleased to get an appointment between 8am & 6pm.tomorrow.

Oh dear @Robbie i bet that was a bit of a shock. I hope you get it sorted, it’s a good excuse not to wash up though. 😉

I’m surprised you haven’t got a dishwasher, we got a small slimline on a year or so ago, it’s just big enough for the two of us and it’s brilliant, we just dump the pots in it when we’ve finished with them and whe t’s full switch it on and hey presto a few hours later they are shiny clean.

In other news it’s a bit brass monkeys out there the temperature dropped to 0.6 overnight, which has reminded me that I need to cover up the outside tap, I don’t want it freezing.

I am having a difficult time with my laptop's keyboard; I think I need to replace it, and that leaves me wondering how I will be able to do the related tasks. I have a detailed setup now on here, and it includes a lot of apps that make my workflow easier. These past few weeks, I have been implementing ways to be more organised, and now this. 😒

To top things off, this morning I have been doing server-related chores, and then when I came to come on here. I learned that Cloudflare are experiencing a major outage, which has affected a lot of the internet with downtime.

Ironically, it includes "x," which was very quickly prioritised over other clients and smaller sites.

It seems we are back, but I might need to borrow my wife's laptop in the meantime.

Update.

My waste pipe to the kitchen sink has been fixed so we are back in business, as they say, once again. The Plumber had to get some parts from Screwfix to complete the job, but everything seems fine.
