    Hope the barbie went well Pal - and any one else who had one.

    Despite a forecast for showers and max temp of 20C it didn't rain and the temp hit 26 but it was quite humid.

    Spent a couple of hours on my knees in daughter's sauna-like central heating cupboard sorting some electrics on her new boiler. Came home wringing wet with perspiration. Had a cold shower and relaxed on the patio with a chilled lager.

    Two 'truths' arrived at today :

    1 - A cold beer, sunshine, comfy seat and nice view are about as good as it gets.

    2 - Dad may be geriatric, but he's a lot cheaper than younger forms of sparkie:D
