Chilly Saturday

For the last several weeks we've endured reduced parking, digging noises and holes in the ground outside the house courtesy of Scotland Gas Networks replacing the gas main in the street. On Friday, they needed to turn our gas off for a day to complete the reconnection. Lo and behold, as part of the mandatory reconnection testing, the gaseous factotum announced that there was a "drop" of 4mBar in our household piping and he could thus not turn our gas back on. He trotted off into the night muttering about he hated that part of the job. Next day, and several phone calls to "24 hour" gas services later, we found ourselves at Grandma Sheila's for dinner and a bath. Ho hum.
