Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.

OH is working at home today ................ the boiler has not been working at the Garden for at least a month. So, no heat.

It wasn't too bad when we had the warmer temperatures, but it's getting a wee bit cold in the offices now!


Do UK colleges and universities have the same policy that ours do .................... have to take low bid on jobs???


When I was working at the Garden, we had a boiler bought on the "low bid" system .................... there wasn't another one like it in the whole of Western Canada. It was very different from any other heating system on the campus, and it broke down regularly at last once every winter. Parts had to come from Montreal. On at least one occasion it was out of operation for 2 months.

That one was replaced a few years ago (after I'd retired!), but this "new" one was also got on "low bid".

OH overheard some of the "engineers" muttering about having to fabricate parts for it :-S


The Garden offices are right on the edge of campus, so the powers-that-be decided in 1991 when they were being built that it was too expensive to extend the university steam heat system out to them, and we had to have our own individual system.

Gins

Is the song you're thinking of Great Balls of Fire


and wasn't the singer Jerry Lee Lewis



who was banned from entering the UK in the 50s (or maybe early 60s) because he was married to a 14 year old girl (who also happened to be his cousin)?

It was a perfectly legal marriage in the State they were from, but not acceptable in the UK.

Jonesey........have you forgotten your meds again??? :-P



Hi Sylvs...........Falling again are you? :-D




Who else looked like Roy O? Not a clue.



OH had his flu jab this morning. The Docs was packed and, whilst we were there, an ambulance arrived. In came the paramedics and disappeared down the corridor. Oooooer.

A short while later they came out with a walking patient. Went to see the nurse - whom we have known for ages - and it turns out it was one of her patients! She said he was fine when he came in to see her........but.......she didn't elaborate obviously but I was glad to get out of there :-D



Have just ordered my ice grippers Gins............must get some more salt in!
