Just made a seriously disturbing discovery – the fridge freezer we bought because we thought we could switch each section off separately won’t switch off the freezer bit unless we switch off the whole thing! BUT we can switch off the fridge bit on its own?!
Cue Crimewatch music… I feel very pleased with the progress of the freezer emptying mission although pao and I did purchase a chocolate cake, a Daim cake and an Appelsos cake in Ikea. Items now left: A few half eaten bags of veg A chicken breast A piece of breaded fish Half a packet of [...]
British Gas rang me up this morning : “Hello, since you have nothing better to do all day than hang around for our service engineers to turn up, please can you have an appointment today from between now (9.05am) and 1pm”. After the initial shock of thinking that some bloke would be imminently hammering on [...]
W**t. Shed now has shelves and looks like a small version of bargain warehouse. pao says that the Superdrug training on shelf-stacking seems to be ingrained because all the labels face the same way. He’s got some tummy trouble today so have to shift heavy glass on my own. We thought it would be a [...]
Me and pao didn’t make it France today as planned but went to that foreign land of flat-packed furniture and miserable-looking purveyors of meatballs. We now have two sets of fully constructed shelves in our lounge with one more set to construct once we are certain that they will fit in the shed. Pao is [...]
Well today is my official last day of illness. I’m feeling a lot better and looking forward to starting my new job. I’m a bit nervous though – I’d planned to go in a little to meet them this week but have chickened out. My excuse is that I had two dentists appointments and now [...]
I’ve been pretty busy over the last week sorting out a website and attending the 24-7 prayer week at the old CLC shop in Canterbury. It was quite an incredible and blessed time and God spoke to me quite a bit through Isaiah 52 and the whole experience has been an incredible boost for my [...]
It was pretty hard to go to sleep last night. Just wanted to hug pao lots and to wake up to find it was a dream. Better today though. I went out with Rennie to see the Old Synagogue in King Street. It was open today as part of the Heritage Open Days programme. http://www.heritageopendays.org.uk/ [...]
We both went for eye tests this morning. The extent of Paul’s eye problems really struck me when I was sitting in on his test. He’s been told that he will have to have a corneal transplant because he’s got something possibly called keratonitus(?) so essentially he will have to wait til a suitable donor [...]
Giles Radford’s in town so a big group of us all went to Cafe de China for food (lots of). Some of us thought it would be a-musing to have the over-the-top happy birthday music played and him presented with a chocolate cake. Shame there is no photographic evidence but, hey, there is always a [...]
