Good morning everyone 
Sunny here and it's forecast to get to something between 27 and 29, a warm night, and much the same tomorrow, thought starting to cool down a bit tomorrow night.
Yogi, I'm glad you had a good dtime with the tiddlers 
Ros, this part of the country has been with Severn Trent since it was formed in 1974, so the work being carried out here is repair work rather than anything else.
Moonie, I've read quite a lot of Dickens' writing over the years and seen many of the films and TV adaptations as well. Many people regard him as the greatest of the novelists of the Victorian era and his writing is still of relevance. (Jane Austen is just before the Victorian era, the Bronte sisters were of the Victorian era but their indvidual output very limited in number compared to Dickens, Oscar Wilde was of the Victorian era but best known for his plays, I think Dorian Grey his only novel).
I hope everyone has a good day
