We did it we did!!!

So on time this morning it was down to the main road, park the fire engine collect the car and school for the Gwion then drop Branwen into town to catch the bus.

Back home and some firewood sorting out.

Running out of water again, time to try and sort the supply out again.

This time a radical re think.

By passed all the underground pipe and ran a supply direct from the pump to the house. This meant pulling frozen pipes apart and bringing them into the house to defrost.

Then a trip into town to get bits, then down to the school to get Gwion.

Next was home to wrestle pipes and make connections before getting Branwen from town.

Low key stuff but all done in a wind chill breeze.

Cold is insiduous, it's gets inside you, makes each action harder than the last, makes each thought less clear than the last, it all adds up.

Now we are home, the house living room is 24 C, I am warming, the warm watered bath is calling me.....

I might be gone some time.

For tomorrow we have been promised heavy snow - ohh goodie...
