Your fine misty rain is hereby totally outdone by the pea soup here!

Sun? What sun?? There is nought but a ghostly diffuse spooky murk...

Cue a muffled distant howl...

I've gotta stop having so much fun as it's been interrupting my usual sleep cycle.

Cheers.

Scummy nitrates runoff here!

Sort of like the beautiful brewers yeast foaming up over the top of an overly exuberant brew, except this muddy nitrates scum stuff is definitely not for drinking!!

(Brewer's yeast is good for all the B vitamins except B12...)

Well, all this surface water is going to freeze overnight around here.

At least all this rain and water and mud and cold and grey fluffy stuff is excellent for keeping the COVID unaware masses safely inside!!!

Yikes... That would not do much good for the infrastructure around here!!!

Especially so for the expansion/contraction, freeze/thaw... The roads and tracks have some mighty new natural holes in them...


And for a quite a giggle, I've just received this little "informational":

It seems that Jack Frost is on his way and we're expecting some really cold weather in your area over the next two weeks.

Cold temperatures can cause pipe problems

During the winter months the ground can freeze and thaw.

This causes the ground around our pipes to move, which can increase leaks and bursts.

And the cold could cause problems for your pipes too. The cold temperatures can cause the pipes in your home to freeze and burst if they’re not well insulated.

Protect your pipes

To help keep your water flowing, we’re asking you to take simple steps to avoid some common problems that we often see following very cold weather spells, which can cause major issues with your water pipes, and ours too...



I'm very sure about my pipework.

I'm very not sure about some of the rushed-jobs 3rd-party-contractors 'regardless' jobs seen being hurriedly filled in whilst awash with water...

More of a killer is the 150 deg C daily rollercoaster temperature range from sunburn scorching heat death down to a batteries killing freezing...
