Thursday

Not such a nice day today but it is still very warm for the time of year.

I hung my washing out but I don't think it will dry as it is one of those days.

Jon spent all day in the office preparing some training courses he is going to give and I had another of those days that I don't know where the time goes and are becoming far too frequent and I need to get myself sorted and doing something.

I went over to see if Rene had all her heating sorted and Marie was just painting the airing cupboard for her. The tank has been removed and she is going to have a little heater put in there for her clothes.

Marie told me that the radiator in the living room had burst when the plumber was testing the new boiler. She said the pressure had built up and as it was an old radiator it made a huge bang and a big bulge and then the pipes started to leak all over the floor giving them both a terrible fright. The plumber had to fit a new radiator. She still has no idea how much it is all going to cost!

I took Totty out for her walk and she was a bit slow and stop start today but we managed to get round the block.

I went down into Newmarket this afternoon to a shop in the High Street that does upholstery. I showed them a photo of the chair Rene wants loose covers for and they quoted (I really must do something about the pound sign) GBP366 plus four meters of material at GBP25 a meter approx. I know it is a lovely old chair but I don't think it is worth that much.

I then went to buy a little baby gift for a friend who has just had a little girl and is not terribly well and the baby is very tiny.

When I got back I found the website of Plumbs upholsters and requested a home visit to see what they will charge.

Jon made a cuppa and then I brought my, still wet, washing in and had to put it on the maiden in the garage.

I cooked dinner a little later than normal as Heather went for a trial at a new gym and came back hot and sweaty.

Hopefully, the plumber will be here tomorrow to service our boiler. This will be the third time or maybe it is the fourth time he has made an appointment. If he doesn't turn up this time that is it, we will get someone else.
