| Sunday lunch. Roast beef with and onion gravy and veg |
All started OK with the promise of re-heating some boneless rib beef I cooked on Sunday and an easy warm winter meal. Today started with a lovely walk enjoying the natural beauties of a hoare frost and some life enhancing photography around my village and Nottingham.

Then I discovered that the kitchen outflow pipe that had frozen on Sunday and had been lagged by yours truly had decided to freeze again. Reluctantly I took it all to bits, banged out the ice and re-assembled the piping in my amateur way. Now it drips both ends and I think that I may have broken the seal. Bugger. Meanwhile the cats from next door (oblivious of the tension) are constantly mooching bits of beef from me. I have phoned the plumber and await his call.

Ah well more medium dry Amontillado sherry and hot mince pies for me then. I look forward to the ice flow feature outside my kitchen tomorrow morning.

I trundled through Highfields this morning on my way to work, and took several photos of frozen trees and the frozen lake. I don't think I have experienced the cold like I did today. Even when I stick my hand into the freezer cabinets at Sainsbury's.
Sainsbury's? Surely you mean Tesco's!? True GM twas very cold and very beautiful mate.
Every picture tells a story - shame it happened
Great picture story....a leaking pipe...bad! I broke the toilet seat today, and the plumber did not come in..I wonder which one is worse...a broken seat or a blocked sink and leaking pipe..:/ I vote for the pipe...real bad.
Same over this way (down to -9) except I discovered mine when I heard running water in the kitchen - the washer flooding the floor! Just caught this in time and most relieved as I usually leave the washer to run unattended. Only a short section frozen where it passes through the wall horizontally which was cleared after 30 minuted with a hairdryer...
