Still no central heating in this house, still no new stove that will run it and the hot water - only been on order since July, for goodness' sake. So we make do with a measly electric radiator and then, eventually, the high and mighty ones get round to putting the stove on in the living room in the late afternoon. It only heats the room, no back boiler or radiators off it, you see, and it's at the far end of the house. They are 'doing things' during the day, or hovering over the radiator scoffing food, and have little thought to the comfort of us shivering hounds.
So I am curled up as tight as I can in my bed, with Midge sprawled on top of me, for half the day, waiting, waiting, waiting for the great moment when the stove is lit , knowing I can bake my bones for the next few hours. Ho hum, such is my lot....
He has just finished a commissioned painting and is off to install new kitchen units in the village hall, she is painting walls and doors and the like in the cottage, and pulling out wiring (eek) and in between time loading stuff onto her new online SHOP (aye, she's changed it again and is now with Folksy - for those of you who have no idea what I am on about click HERE).
She is also preparing for the Southdean Christmas Fayre - a feast for all the senses, with lots of crafty goodness as well as soup and bacon rolls, mulled wine and mince pies!
