Fiona's Quiet Life

so. yes­ter­day after­noon out comes an engin­eer, tests the boiler,?ignition ?says he, i will order one and fit it tomor­row after­noon, and off he goes this morn­ing they phone and say it hasn’t come in and they will let me know when they have it.….so much for a con­tract with Scot­tish gas.

how­ever the log fire kept me nice and warm all yes­ter­day at a tem­per­at­ure of 20 degrees and this morn­ing my friend Orly and i had morn­ing cof­fee huddled in front of the gas fire in the lounge which is so effi­cient that i had to turn it down.….….…rest of the house is freez­ing though…leapt into bed with great speed last night.

and tomor­rows lunch with Nicola’s? In-Laws is can­celled as she has hurt her shoulder and the only avail­able appoint­ment is tomor­row at lunch­time. so my quiet life is nice and quiet again, for now.

and i actu­ally made a pot of soup yes­ter­day so my refus­ing to cook might be com­ing to an end.it was lovely.…even bet­ter today.

i have been order­ing from the iwoot web site it is my favour­ite site at the moment.

and i need a chair for the din­ing room so that more than one per­son can sit com­fort­ably in front of the fire but it needs to go with my old chair ( the one slightly vis­ible by book­case in photo) as it belonged to a favour­ite uncle , a new one would look too new so i looked on eBay, there is the per­fect one but has to be col­lec­ted from Sur­rey( approx 550 miles away) the ques­tion is, am i daft enough to drive there and back just for a chair, the answer is , know­ing me pos­sibly yes. much more fun than try­ing to arrange a van.
