Don't build decks in January.

My heart bleeds - I have just fixed some electric gates:-)

I've shovelled the ice off the pavement and I'm toasty warm now!

I took dog for a walk and nearly broke my stupid neck walking on the ice.

Thanks for the warning; it would never have occurred to me.

I guess it will expand in the summer and sound like an old sailing ship creaking.

So wood expands as it dries :-)

I thought wood shrank in the summer and metal expanded.

I'm sitting in the warm drinking Jack Daniels and talking to you lot.

I am very warm :)

Shortly, after my nice hot bath, I will go and have a curry down the road (birthday treat).

Happy Birthday Tim.

Jack is okay with Diet Coke. I can't drink it straight. Tonight I will be ordering a kebab to be delivered. {Sunday morning toilet blockage}

Well I just went and swapped the PSU for an aerial amp for an old dear up the road. Got coffee and a nice bit of shortbread for my trouble ;-)

Many happy returns... How geriatric does that make you now?

And that's what separates the men from the boys - the men just get on with it without expecting medals for doing what they're paid for in all weathers without bloody whinging.

Sodding amateur.

Hmm, I was just taking advantage of the warm spell and doing a few outdoor tasks (it's only -18C outside today).

cheers

What a shame I earned more doing that for 2 days, than you did in a week as a failed foreman.

Must be cold living in a caravan lately.

How do you know mine weren't? ;-)

Would you want to swap your nice crisp dry -18 for our penetrating damp and soggy -2? ;-)

Thank you - nice curry, most of a bottle of wine (SWMBO had half a glass) and brandy.
