What a fraught couple of weeks this has been! However, through it all I've managed to stay on track. My computer threw a wobbler and despite spending a couple of days trying to rid it of whatever upset its digestion, I finally wiped it, reinstalled everything and it was al systems go. I'd just got that sorted and my side by side fridge freezer turned up its toes - mad dash round all the other cottages finding a temporary home for all my stuff. Couldn't find anyone who would repair it and guarantee the results, even if they could get the parts. Finally decided I'd have to get another (if smaller one) for very little more than they were quoting for the repair. Then the fun started. They have to come in the back as there is no room through the front. That's how the old one came in. The delivery men refused to move the old one. Health and safety regs were quoted and they even took photos! Fraught phone calls and they finally agreed to put it outside the back door. Guess which way they brought the new one in? The delivery men left and our phone line was hot....but we've still got a big fridge freezer on our very small yard and they won't move it - full stop.
To cap it all, this morning I had just got out of the shower, wet hair etc and a towel covering my modesty when OH fell in the hall with a bucket of dirty muddy water in his hand. Get the picture? Walls, carpet and even the ceiling were dripping with dirty water. Scraped knees and elbows, but unhurt apart from that. It shook him up quite a bit though and its taken me half the day to patch him up, wash the walls and paintwork and clean the carpet.
My week away can't come soon enough. When my computer was up and running again I got an e-mail from a friend who has arranged for a meal out in Broadway where his sister lives before her birthday party. It will be good to have a couple of hours to sit and chat and eat and catch up on the gossip beforehand.
I must now go and catch up on everyone's news in their journals. Peace, joy and healthy eating to everyone.
