942 888 Elis --is there flooding in your area? I also want to know ... It seems really bad in some areas in western Germany, but hopefully only south of you.

942 887 No flooding here. We are safe, and haven't even had enough rain to flood a few cellars. It seems so surreal that elsewhere, so many people have died, or lost everything. And it is still not over. Apparently, several dams might still break.

Beautiful as those steep sided narrow river valleys are, there is a bit of a price to living there ... very distressing indeed ...

942 881 My pocket posted one of my photos to Facebook earlier today without my knowledge until Sven commented on it Fortunately it wasn't embarrassing or incriminating, just boring.

Pockets do strange things to phones. Once in a museum I took over a hundred pictures of the inside of my pocket without trying to.
My parents are coming to visit me this weekend! It'll be great to see them without having to drive. :-)

942 878 Our boiler switched itself on last night while we were asleep and wouldn't switch itself off. We awoke at 5 am with boiling hot radiators and I spent the next hour with all the windows open to try and cool the house down. It seems the boiler wanted to extend the heatwave we had during the past five days

942 877 Was your boiler installed by British Gas? You will shortly get a call from them asking when your boiler was last serviced and if you would like a new one installed.

A local tradesman, whom I trust, installed it. We had issues with the thermostat in the winter and it is probably that that malfunctioned. I have switched the boiler off and will call a plumber to service both the boiler and the thermostat next week. But it was quite a shock.

942 845 I snickered. Both girls are in bed. Time to catch up on my own sleep! Youngest is attempting to crawl. Tiger and roll is already on her skilllist, so sitting up and crawling are next. Though eldest wholly skipped the crawling part and went straight to walking behind her walker.

942 871 I had some errands to do in town today and ended up walking 4.7 miles. Partly because I left my hearing aids in a shop and had to go back for them

942 865 Why does he like otters so much? Mine is into elephants and monkeys. Probably because we have several books about an elephant and monkey.
