A Good Day

 

It's been a good day! I've finally met my immediate neighbours, and I think I've landed on my feet again. The owners of the bungalow to the right of mine (looking from the road) are very friendly and chatty. It's a mum and her adult son, and she's the one who gave me the leaflets shown in the photo above so that I'd have an idea of some of the things that are going on in the village. They both told me to knock on their door if I needed any help at any time. The ones on the other side of mine, again a mother and adult son, were friendly but less chatty and I had the impression that they prefer to keep themselves to themselves.

There's a bit more progress to report today. The plasterer will be removing all the coving tomorrow and the drylining will be started on Saturday. All the plasterboard will be delivered tomorrow, about 40 sheets of it, so that will have to be stored somewhere! I also contacted a local electrician and he came round after he finished work to quote for the electrical work. If I accept his price, the work could start fairly quickly as he'd be here at the same time as the kitchen installers and will work alongside them to get the sockets in the best positions. So far, it's all looking very promising.
