A Quick Word From Yours Truly


Hi, welcome to PJ's blog.

If you've checked out the "About Me" bit you'll see I'm a keen amateur photographer who enjoys all things digital. I mostly like photographing plants and landscapes as they are easy targets ;-) I used to work in Software which sounds more exciting than it is but am now officially a Snr. Project Planner having changed jobs after almost 25yrs in Software. I sometimes wish I could work in photography but that would probably become boring if I did it day in and day out. I used to sponsor a wolf called Luna until she sadly passed away, and love all things "wolfy". Anyhow enjoy the blog and hopefully I'll manage to keep it up to date with what I've been doing and my favourite things!

Naughty Boiler!

So, having over-rode the heating last night when I went to bed to turn it off early, I woke with the tablet alarm this morning at 6am to find the house chilly and disturbingly quiet :-( Came downstairs to find that the timer clock stopped at 10:30pm last night - bollocks. How come it gives absolutely no warning that it's about to play up??? Fortunately the heating/hot water still comes on, but only manually. Had to go online and book a repair and a BAXI guy should be rocking up sometime on Tuesday - so not long to wait. Just hope he'll be able to keep to his 100% success rate for repairs... Given the system is 20+ years old and has only been having recent annual services since around 2016 when I think it broke down for the very first time, it's had more attention in these last four years than at any time previous. At least working from home means he can call and do his stuff whilst I work and I don't have to leave the office to let him in or fit it in to my day off schedule. It also means that whilst turning it on/off manually is a pain, at least I'm here all the time to do it ;-) Every cloud and all that.
