Drier today, so far compared with the deluge of rain yesterday, but still pretty grey and overcast. Not too cold though at 12C.

Sun's been out for past hour or so. I should be using this time to give the van a butch out, but Mrs. P's gone back to bed for a couple of hours. So that's my cue to play a couple of albums that she would charitably describe as 'crap'
I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.

If your son or daughter are living alone, then you can form an extended household, but only with one of them.Originally Posted by rmcin626
I think this rule still applies - https://www.gov.scot/publications/co...d%20households
Maybe visiting your mum means you can't - as you're only supposed to form one extended household.
I'm not aware of any rules which allow for the suspension of an extended household - for example - a two week gap which could be useful if one wanted to meet different people for Christmas.
Just had a message from Floodline - maybe a bridge nearby is going to close due to potential flood risks.

Floodline called me to day that there was a flood and to take immediate action. Took a walk down to the river and it would have had to come up another 20 feet to top the bank, let alone get all the way to my house and flood it. In short - bollocks. Next time I got one I ignored it. Nothing happened. If they are going to keep crying wolf then the system doesn't work.

Certainly wetter today, only 2mm yesterday, already over 8mm and still raining.
Saw some of the golf highlights in Scotland last night, looked pretty wet, some said it was the worst conditions they have ever played in.

Four inches of water in the road outside my place. Drains have been blocked for thirty years and nobody bothers to sort it. Private road!

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

My mum lives alone, but my son and daughter in law and grandson are their household, so no visiting.
