Evening all
Sorry I've been an absentee hostess for a few days. All that rain on Sunday has caused the roof to leak again .Water coming through the bedroom ceiling when I went off to bed.I've had to have men tramping in looking in the loft and so on.Long story short we're having a whole new roof,it's now past the stage of being patched up and we're throwing money down the drain doing that. So, a man came today and gave us a quote for the roof,new loft window,some rafters,new gutters ,fascias,soffits and so on. A ten year guarantee and reasonable price.This also includes the scaffolding and skip.Another man coming tomorrow to sort out the logistics and do a survey for the amount of materials needed etc.Nightmare really but we can't live in a leaky house with winter on the way.
Bet you're glad you're work is coming to an end Woofy and that your kitchen will be done in time for Christmas Neti :)
Btw Jno ..BONG BING ...if you haven't seen it try and catch up on Andrew Graham Dixon's The Art of Germany.Three parter.The last one is this Sunday.I think you'll find it very interesting.Mad King Ludwig etc some lovely churches and the wonderful Riemenschneider blood altarpiece in Rothenburg.
Hope your OH is doing OK and that the fridge mystery has been solved.I see Lucy has a new book out about Queen Victoria.I won some book tokens recently for the Azed crossword in the Guardian so I shall use them to buy it.
Night all.Sleep well.I'm pooped.
