Busy day here. It was our 32nd wedding anniversary.I chose well.


Aga very sick. Have decided to attempt a repair although not cheap £2000 +, We had a discussion about replacing it but decided no, risk is we spend on repair and have to replace anyway.Will take about a week. So microwave, slow cooker and bbq it is.. In theory.. i see takeaway and eating out as a strong possibility.

Dog had blood tests today. Fingers crossed.

Went to see The Lady Killers tonight at the Watermill Theatre. A really good prduction and lovely dinner.

Picked up my new specs, so I can stop looking stupid in wearing sun glasses indoors and when it is not sunny,

I have what was a perfectly working, in lovely cosmetic condition, gas fired rayburn that needs a home. It's going on ebay for 99p.

Moving them is an issue.

Carpenters are certainly capable of doing handy things like putting concrete in a hole and would certainly get the woodworking aspect right. I don't know whether I'd ask one I didn't know to dig a hole but the rest they could do quite well.

I think a handyman, really. It's not rocket science but I've never used a 'handyman' per say.

I'm not sure the scale of the job would be a builder's thing.

Any of them should be capable. The carpenter on my project will mend/rebuild the garden gate when I manage to get to something less significant than finally getting walls in the right place.

Not helpful, sorry. It's a day's work. Maybe less but they won't earn anything else that day.

Sometimes with stuff, it's not that it can/can't ... it's just that the thought of eating defrosted XYZ is off-putting for a variety of reasons.

I struggle to eat most things that I've frozen - because it's just off-putting.... it's not the same item you put in the freezer. I have to 'force' myself to eat the stuff I've frozen. Couldn't freeze milk, for example.

Curiously, our freezer is stuffed with frozen milk. Once it's defrosted it's back to plain old milk again. The main snag is that the defrosting process involves leaving it lying around at room temperature, which rather defeats the purpose of freezing it in the first place.

hello all.

sorry I've not been around. Afraid I've no good news to post, and there hasn't been anything good happen. That's the reason for the absence.

Not sure what else to say tbh.
