Maggie's house.

I like the way the vertical blinds look against those windows.

What is the round thing on the roof? sun light? Window?

I've ended up with 'Skint' (Ch4) which is looking at some, well, skint people in Merthyr Tydfil.
It has subtitles (not convinced they're necessary).

Only watched the first episode, understand it has got worse.

In contrast: 3rd world problem: packing for holiday and realising that all my sun cream is in the holiday flat - a few hours flying distance in the opposite direction.

This holiday was chosen solely on the basis of:

1. somewhere warm,
2. somewhere we haven't been to before
3. Availability of Avios reward flights

St Lucia beckons.

I think that's a first workd problem, silvercar. I wish it were a third world problem

Thank you kindly for your blinds comment. :j I know loadsa people don't like vertical blinds any more, but they really work well for us.

The round thing on the roof is one of two, there's one on the back roof too! Sun/light tunnels. Or whatever they called. It's weird as both come into our landing ceiling, one from front of house, one from back of house. So the light coming in is very different. If I was doing this again I'd specify that I wanted both tunnels either front or back as the split light is rather annoying. Would be better if had bright from front or muted from back rather than the mix we have. But too many decisions in too short a time, and to be honest I never thought about the orientation of sun tunnels - I most certainly would in future. Though will not have a future to do that in as we will never do anything like this again. Too old and no money now.

I watched the Harley St prog too. Had never heard of EFT before, sounded like mumbo jumbo but was about the only treatment that they showed that actually worked. Really pleased that the Asian woman fell pregnant again.

I know a lady who was a paramedic for a long time. She was the first woman to work on the air ambulance in our area. She gave it up when she realised that you medicate every issue. EFT does seem to be gathering some ground the NHS.

She speaks sense to me. I've listened to her a lot, but I've never heard her talk about fixing a sore arm with it. I'm glad it worked for the man. The tapping creates a vibration that allows negative energy to disperse, not be held on to. I think it's pretty well accepted that you're not going to feel good if you push down negative feelings. They don't go, they fester. She talks more about fears and anxieties and the physical manifestation of them. Anxiety, for example, is a very physical response to a perceived mental threat.

Bloody insomnia again. I did not get exercise at the weekend and slept, so now I can't sleep when I need to. Drat.

The tapping and talking was ok, the bit I didn't get was the seeing pain in colours. I can't quite get my head round it. But fair play in that it worked for him.

GDB, did you mention you could recommend an electrician?
