Broad Brushstrokes

It could have been a worse Monday.
Heating engineers were phoned first thing, the central heating is still inoperative.  Someone will arrive first thing tomorrow.  I've tried random button pushing with no joy.  The user instructions are not helpful.
Then the painter never arrived.  He's been painting the surrounds of the new windows, and doing a cracking job.  I know there are health issues in his family, and that a trip to Inverness was necessary.  But it would have been nice to know.
Finally a walk in the afternoon, which started in the sun but ended under milky, flat light.  At least it wasn't cold and windy.
