Thank goodness it's Friday

We have had a dreadful 3 weeks .. first all the drains blocked – on a Saturday morning. A weekend without being able to use the showers and only essential services in a careful fashion. Immediate problem fixed on the Monday but long term solution involves digging up the garden. The following weekend, the boiler in the house exploded all over the dining room floor (luckily it is stone so no water damage). This time on the Friday but the engineer couldn’t get parts until the Monday. Another weekend of no showers and no heating this time (and it was **** cold!). Fixed on the Monday and all insured this time. Then we had the garden dug up yesterday to fix the drains. They dug through the gas main! Not a major problem, they fixed that. But it is the gas feed to the office. So we went to check the boiler and guess what ? THAT was leaking. Onto the office carpet. Called them out to look today and it is one dead boiler. Very dead. And very expensive as we have to replace it.

 

So work has been interrupted, but I still managed to get the WBU sims finalised and ... for all you Welsh Bridge Union clubs out there, great news because the WBU sims in the Autumn is going to be a five day event with different hands every day. So do join is and lets get as many people playing as we can !!

 

Now I think I deserve a glass of red wine and a relax ...

 

More soon !
