Dear Heart,
I was unable to avoid an awkward encounter with the man who came to fix our boiler today. He asked me what I was studying, and I was so nervous that I couldn't remember. Then when he asked for the gas meter, I pointed him in the wrong direction. I think we were both relieved when he packed up his case and left!
And that, dear Heart, is the most exciting anecdote of today. Have this picture of the landing, coated in paint from the sunset, to make up for it.
Love, Lydia x
