Laaaaaambs!
Look at this awful, blurry picture I took! Yeah, well, Uncle B pulled over so I could take it, but they were really too far away. Lambs, though! First we’ve seen this year.
These ones look older. We saw some fresh tiny ones on a different part of the drive, but no way to pull over and get a picture.
‘Twas a beautiful sunny day in Sussex, but still cold. Still no central heat.

Has your boiler tech at least returned your calls? Do you have an ETW yet? (Estimated Time ’til Warmth)

Dear Sir and Madam:
We have had you scheduled for repair of your boiler for some weeks now. We regret to inform you that upon examination we discover that our firm is unable to fulfill your request for repairs or service. Our technicians are highly trained in the most modern of environmental ambiance control equipment; we are that two of them hold advanced degrees in electronics. We are very proud of this. Regrettably though since the beginning of last year we no longer have anyone who is familiar with last century’s mechanically based oil or gas burning systems. Up to that point we retained on staff one “Boilerman” as a courtesy to our elderly customers who have not yet joined the rest of the country in our environmentally friendly future. However the that time has passed.
Should you wish to have your old system removed, we can provide a reference to a reliable metal recycler. We would then be happy to assist you by providing installation of either a fully solar, fully wind-driven, or our recommended “Sunny March Wind” unit. Prices start at £21,000, plus installation fee and permitting costs.

Okay Akismet what did I do to piss you off THIS TIME, Baby?

No, our boiler tech has NOT returned our calls. Uncle B is mighty flexed. And now it’s the weekend.

Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.<< carry me back to ol' virginny
