    it’s been raining all day again today but here’s a picture from the weekend when it was sunny and we sat outside

  • tuesday

    i worked from home today so i could let the boiler man in.  he eventually arrived at 4.30pm (when i would have been back from work anyway) and at 6pm found out that the pump in the new boiler was faulty so we couldn’t switch it on.  so he’ll be back another day.

    everyone else had school

    i worked from home as the boiler man came (with their drilling).  as did the cleaning lady with her vacuum cleaner and the quieter outdoor surface man.  the sounds made my two conference calls interesting.

    161020_IMG_4671

    all the ladies had school.  esther and kezia got excellences in their music exam / speech performing

    tonight kezia and jane have gone to school to hear about next year’s music tour so we can start saving again!

    161020_IMG_4672

    here’s the new boiler in a cupboard.  we have to wait until next tuesday before it’s ready to use

    161020_IMG_4673

    here’s some pictures from the old boiler manual

    jane has book club this evening and kezia has youth

    161019_IMG_4593-Edit

    i sold a picture via the internet and had an email from someone who wants to buy some prints of photos of a concert i took a few months back!

    161019_IMG_4594-Edit

    this evening i cleaned out the garage cupboard as we get our new boiler tomorrow

    161019_IMG_4595-Edit

    just to add to the excitement the waterblasters were hear today and are back tomorrow to start patching up the concrete floor – hopefully the electricity and water won’t be off too long with the boiler people

    161019_IMG_4596-Edit

    that’s all i have to say

    my car had its service and WOF today so i had to drop it in albany village at 7.30am.  this coincided with a local power cut so i watched a police lady direct traffic while i waited for a bus which took over an hour to get to me to work

    161017_IMG_4486-Edit

    after work i got the bus back to the albany park and ride and walked back to albany village the way i occasionally used to when we lived in our previous house so that was a nice trip down memory lane.  and it was nice and sunny/warm too

    161017_IMG_4487-Edit

    girls all had school.  esther had a singing performance after school which counts towards her music exams

    161017_IMG_4490-Edit

    then she went on to a bowling party with her big band
