Wasted Day - In More Ways Than One

After a weekend of feeling cold and cold water 'bird baths' the boiler repair man arrived at 0840.
He knocked on the door and before I could get there from the kitchen he had retired to his van.
He came in and after making him coffee he started; "only be about an hour and a half"
Four hours later I phoned into work and requested a days holiday as opposed to the late start-late finish I had planned.
Another day of my annual leave allowance gone and as far as I'm concerned wasted!!
Eventually after about five and a half hours he had finished - no more talk of a new boiler ours is a bit like Triggers Broom, (Only Fools & Horses), bit by bit it's been replaced until hey presto new boiler.

Today's photo is a reminder, if I needed one, that I've had better days.
