Both 80s

Well, we know where we're goin'
But we don't know where we've been

In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really, really ought to know

Second one shout tears for fears

Tears for fears... yes...

One of my happy memory's listening to the radio with my dad in the car

MNerGoneRogue · 22/01/2021 21:38

How's the weather where everyone is? Are floods and ice and snow a problem?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 22/01/2021 21:39

Correct Rogue to Shout. I'm sat in front of a roaring fire with a dog snoring next to me. DH is an oil boiler engineer so ours gets fixed pretty quick if it goes wrong 😁

"How are the rest of you?
Needtoknow, only the smogs of London to keep you warm? I hope you have warm clothing. Thermal vests, bobble hats, fluffy slippers, etc

Happy Friday everyone"

Thanks Rogue, yes all wrapped up bobble hat n all thanks...

Weirdly there are very few oil boiler engineers around here. I keep telling my husband he should be one, he hates being in the garage nowadays.

I’m also sitting in front of a fire with snoring dogs. Weather has been glorious today. No rain, no frost, no snow. Apparently back again tomorrow. My neighbour nailed it when I was grumbling about hating this winter - she pointed out that I’ve not had a whole winter at home in decades, I’d usually get to fly off somewhere once a week or so. So now I’m a bit worried that I’m going to hate every winter!

Sounds cosy Coffee. Isn't Honey's hubby (Wink) a heating engineer too? I'm a bit pissed now.

Aw Honey once Covid is gone you can get away for a bit every winter. Play, not work.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 22/01/2021 21:50

Honey, my dh says oil boilers need mechanical knowledge so your's is half way thete. If he's interested, look at the OFTEC website. It'll tell him how to get qualified. Be warned though, he'll need decent knee pads!

Thats probably true honey. You've probably not experienced a proper winter in years! How weird.
