Bank Holiday Monday!!

And a typical one too. We woke up this morning to the usual August Bank Holiday weather. Cold, wet drizzle and blowing wind on the trees. looks more like Autumn than Summer. It's been like that for most of the day actually. We put the heater on in the middle room for a bit, and the cats came from nowhere to sprawl in front of it. At least Bobby did, she loves the warmth. She hasn't been outside today, not even on top of her hut which she loves.
Vin has got his Mr Fixit hat on again. he says the stop tap to the heating tank, the smaller one has a tiny drip now, so he has taken it off to take it down and service it. He does do things properly does my Mr Fixit. Bless him.

It's the little tank to the right of the main one.
He has just come up to say that he can't move the stop tap, so he'll get a new one. What a good job he bought the loft ladders the other month, he has been getting good value from them the last few weeks.
I wonder what other people do on Bank Holidays? I suspect quite a lot stay at home since the village is very quiet today.Makes a difference when there is noone parked for the Dentist's and noone parked for the Chemist. Then there are the cars that are usually parked to go to the train. So the road is quiet , more like a weekend.
Tonight we are having:
Escalope
Green beans and carrots
Potato croquettes
A little mushroom sauce.
