A very quiet week

Nothing of interest to report really.

Andy our electrician has gone AWOL. I couldn't reach him by mobile so tried a text. In return I got an apology for his absence and a commitment to be on site this coming week. I do hope so - the electrics are close to completion and the delay is becoming frustrating.

As we were short of tiles for the bathroom, and the bank holiday rather interfered with delivery from the suppliers, I wasn't able to collect the additional tiles until Thursday. When I phoned Vic (our bathroom fitter) he said that he and Dave would return Monday 10th May to complete the job.

The other impending installation - the stairs - has now been delayed until Tuesday 11th May so I intend to take a day off work to be present.

One other bit of news is that our IKEA kitchen furniture for the utility room which was forecast for delivery in early June, is now being delivered next Thursday (13th May).

Jan and I have spent the weekend at Brookvale - painting on Saturday afternoon (both of us - utility room) and finishing the first coat of paint in the hall on Sunday (me) and gardening (all day Jan, and me in the afternoon). Once again the lawn needed cutting, and I've cleared lots of cow parsley from the hedgerow. Jan has been busy clearing the weeds from the bank created after the widening of the driveway entrance with a view to grass seeding the area soon.
