No respite
The electricians arrived again this morning to complete their work. It took them till 3.30pm. Two lights in the sitting room should have been on separate cables instead of being wired in the way considered adequate 35 years ago. We either had to have them come on together, which would have been simple to do but perhaps not so good for watching the telly, or keep them separate as they were but clear two bedrooms so the chaps could lift the carpets and lay a new cable under the floorboards.
I chose the second option so had to clear the bedroom floors as quickly as possible. With the amount of disruption that already exists, a bit more makes little difference.
One of the electricians moved the sideboard to gain access to a socket that needed replacing. I glanced behind the sideboard and was glad that I did. What a collection of stuff. As well as the usual dust, there were: a Mini Maglite torch with uncorroded batteries but no bulb; half a packet of polos; a tube of chocolate powder to put on coffee; a teaspoon; a bottle opener; £1.01; two small pieces of mica; a small reel of cellotape; a pair of secateurs; a pair of forceps; a box of matches; an artificial poppy; several peanuts and a rubber band.
The HN came round to say that he had ordered the fence panels which would be delivered on Friday. After tea I cleared the ivy from one fence panel and dug up a holly bush that was caught in the ivy. Tomorrow I shall have to go to the tip again. When will my life return to normal? Will my life return to normal?
