Perhaps I've been doing too much of this:)

It is a relaxed life in the 'burbs, with nothing worse to worry about than keeping the bird-feeder topped up.

It's good to have a respectable gown when your Landlord visits half-an-hour earlier than appointed, as thismorning whenhe came to check the boiler. As in what we would call a hot-water system, which in this case also supplies the central heating radiators.

Our radiators have a mind of their own, heating up at random times, regardless of regulation.

And it's not like the weather is freezing- it was at least 19C today. This is our £5 Op-Shop mirror.
