Rust and peeling paint...

...another spot of dereliction this week... thanks again Marlieske...

SMART meter rant Mark 3! Despite having such a meter installed in November, the gas company called us to ask for meter readings this morning! Apparently they still have us on their records with the old meter, and initially had no record of our new meter... aaarrggghhh! It took some time to work out which of the many numbers on the new meter was actually the meter number, and a couple of transfers from India and back to make sure we will be charged for the gas we've actually used, rather than some fictitious number pulled from the ether...
