Arboretum

Last night, just as we were starting to get ready to go to bed, all the lights went out. We knew it couldn't be a power cut as the TV music channel was still playing. Brian fiddled with the fuse box but as soon as the lights came back on they tripped the switch again.

So we got ready for bed by phone light and this morning Brian called the electricians who came here when our kitchen electrics packed up. They will be here some time later this afternoon/evening. 

This has sparked the usual panic in me: hastily cleaning everywhere in the house, worrying about how I'll keep Minstrel safe...

On a normal night Brian would have been home around the same time they will get here but tonight he has an appointment. If you also follow his Blip you will know that he has had blocked ears this last few days and his capacity to hear is greatly reduced. I have been doing lots of shouting, pointing and miming!

This evening he has an appointment to get his ears examined and hopefully fixed, so he will be home later than usual and I will have to deal with the electrician all on my own. I hope they will be late...

As well as cleaning I had a walk into town to go to B&M for some household bits as they are cheaper than supermarkets. I went via the park to look for my Blip. These little flowerbeds are looking the best I have ever seen them.

Brian just called - the electrician is on his way now - early! Wish me luck!
