Friends and friends of friends, feel free to follow me.

For folk I don't know (or with really obscure profile names), drop me a line explaining who you are, and/or why you'd like to follow me.

Who knows, I might follow you back.
We had chemicals circulating last night and first thing, and a flush when the plumber arrived today.

He used a kind of rubber tipped percussion thing on the two radiators. By golly, they are both hot, hot, hot!

It's like a new central heating system!

Finishing up this morning. Two *old*, long radiators in the front bay, both upstairs and down, have always been not quite as hot as the rest of the system.

The lounge had a second radiator, at the back; but the front "spare" bedroom has always been about 2 degrees cooler than my own room.

Anyway, he has been a hero. I've been "in the cold" for 5 days; basically heating whatever room I was in at the time with an electric fire.

Today the new boiler was fitted, and the whole house is warm again. It's cosy and lovely.

And I'd forgotten that when I briefly got involved with my blog in Spring, I managed to set it up to post notifications with links here.

If you see anything of interest, feel free to comment over on the blog, or here, either is good for me.

Unfortunately 4 people were arrested regarding the Windsor Castle projection. Charges seem ridiculous - "malicious communications" - and will probably be dropped when Air Force One is back in the skies.

I have to say, this is very disappointing behaviour from the police/security services.

That's what I was unclear about.

Regarding the party specific figures, is that based on the opinion of people voting for that party (as you seem to think), or is it based on *everyone's* opinion of politicians from that party.

The second interpretation makes more sense of the data.

A slight difference. That guy died after being nominated, they just didn't notice. The Croydon candidate was nominated some 6 months after her death.

Brilliant, thanks.

Alas, I no longer go near X/Twitter, so unless the plan is to also echo tweets here, I won't be joining you. But enjoy!
