Hmmm - warm fire and a glass of something warming.

Might stoke the fire up and break out a bottle of port tonight - just the ticket for a wet, cold and miserable night

Presses run 24/7. In one night shift we can make 350 plates to feed 6 on-site presses and 1 off-site, plus data for 3 other companies around the UK.

...and it is very wet, cold, and miserable in the east of Scotland tonight....here in Edinburgh, it is grim.

Cycled home and got wet. Lovely to come home to a lovely warm house though, and once the fire is stoked up, popping & cracking, I'll be fully relaxed.

Can't beat a cold miserable night as a good excuse to get intoxicated Saying that, I was on the tiles in town last night at Cafe Royal, followed by Espionage, so I do need a rest.

Thumbs up

think i'll get the fire going too.

some friendly victorians seem to have left me about half a tonne of coal in the cellar, which is handy. can somone host my roaring fire pic?

it's not raining down here but apparently it will be by tomorrow. i am absolutely cream crackered. a quick visit to the local curry dispensery and a large glass of talisker - that'll be me and probably asleep.
