Advent Day 13

 

Today is central heating day! The boiler is due for it's service and by lunchtime all of the radiators should be heating up properly. I haven't been cold but it will be good to have it all working properly again. The engineer is also going to look into why there is poor water pressure to the external tap on the back wall of the house. Hopefully he can sort it out as watering duties during the warm months will be so much easier once that's all working properly again.

I made a start on my ideas list for next year's jollies, but didn't get too far. I managed to get stuck at January! I was thinking of a shopping and theatre trip combined, but I also want to get the cataracts sorted in January which means that I'll need to fit my jolly in to the first week or so of the month. However, the local theatres will be busy with pantomimes then, which aren't really my sort of thing, so I'd need to go to one of the London theatres and maybe stay overnight ... it's starting to get expensive, so I may just treat myself to a shopping trip locally instead. I'm still thinking about it though.

I have to stay at home today, at least until the work on the central heating and external tap, etc. is finished. If he does finish early enough I'll go into town and run a few errands ... banking, pick up some Christmas treats for myself, buy my book for Christmas Eve, and book my car in for an MOT.
