FollowIt’s been a busy couple of days. Yesterday morning an engineer arrived to install the superfast internet that we’ve been waiting for for what seems like years. It’s good. Although these words take only 5 minutes to type, it sometimes took me an hour to persuade them to upload to the internet so that you can read them.
In the village, we have another sign that the season is changing. The crazy golf is open.
We had a good night out in Rocks last night, with dinner from the takeaway. This morning I popped up to the village for shopping, and Val waited for a heating surveyor to arrive. Our central heating system is powered by oil, and it’s 50 years old. It’s time to replace it with something more modern, so to begin with we need a survey to estimate how much heat is lost through doors and windows. Our surveyor turns out to be the enigmatic Charlie, who is also our chimney sweep. He has turned his attention to surveying for modern central heating systems. ‘After all’, he says, ‘soon, there will be no more chimneys’.
