Hen toed blue tit.

A dull day all round.  Overcast with showers and spent reading on the sofa with heat pads.  One good thing was achieved however. I phoned up British Gas to check they were coming to replace my faulty programmer   and after going through one of their endless rigmaroles where they couldn't tell me if they were or they weren't I told them not to bother. Phoned a local firm and after a normal conversation they are coming on Saturday morning to replace the faulty one.  If all goes well I think they will be servicing my boiler from now on and I think I'll move to another gas supplier as well.
