Hi both. 
Drizzly here, and very cold and windy.
Went outside to try to measure up the garage roof, but it was too windy and I couldn't control the tape measure. Plus I was frozen, even wearing my heavy fleece jacket and woolly hat, so I gave it up as a bad job.
I got as far as finding out that the garage is 5 metres long, but that was it. 
Hicky. Glad you could get something done outside.
Pity the rain had messed up your planted peas though. 
Are Grandpa and Grandma related?
You've got a fast fibre connection already, haven't you? So you don't really need Virgin.
That's good that you can make chips in the wok. 
I usually just buy ready made oven chips, but might try making my own sometime.
Mollie. That's good that it was mild for you today. Hope the weekend's not too cold.
No, I don't have fibre broadband here. 5 Mb/s if I'm lucky and the winds blowing in the right direction.
The Government says everyone should get at least 10 Mb/s by 2020, but they don't say how they are going to get that to me out in the wilds.
In fact the Scottish Government has gone further and said that everyone in Scotland will have at least 20 Mb/s fibre by the end of 2021. But then the Scottish election is earlier in 2021, so they probly think they won't have to make good on that promise. 
They'd have to spend a lot of money to get fibre broadband out to me.
There's a different system in Scotland called 'Confirmation' rather than Probate, but yes I think it took a few weeks. I didn't have to go anywhere though, the solicitor just sent me something to sign, as I remember.
And yes, it took about 6 months before anything was paid out I think.
That's annoying, that they got your carer's allowance mixed up, and you'll have to send some back.
Watched Jane McDonald and Friends (I like Kerry Ellis), then I watched Will and Grace, which I enjoy.
