Last night I made the unwelcome discovery that my garage has been reaching the low low temperature at which my freezer stops cooling and starts warming.

The past few weeks have been troublesome. A constant scratching on my thigh as my keys pushed though the pocket wall of my work trousers.

In a follow up to yesterdays post Under Pressure I am in a position to report on the situation. Since my last post there was a period of worry which developed into a state of concern as the hours passed. The only hope of a morning shower was looking like standing outside under the nearest [...]

It would seem that this evening Severn Trent have decided to remove the pressure in my water supply. I find myself being able to run a tap in the kitchen at somewhat less than the usual torrent; possibly due to the fact the tap is below the level of the water supply. On the upper [...]
