just chatting again
Well! What a day. First the weather this morning - wasn't it awful?
The first problem of the day was after I had had my morning wash I couldn't turn the bathroom light out - it is one of those pulley cords. But it is also connected to the extractor fan. So it would have not have been just a case of leaving the light on all day - but the fan too. My first reaction was to give Bob a quick call & let him know of the problem. I had hoped to catch him before he started his work with his customers. But I got his answerphone - so left a message. I decided to think the whole thing through - got the little step ladder out & climbed up, unscrewed the fitting. Thought I had made some adjustment & re-screwed the fitting back. Still didn't work. Then for the second day in succession the light bulb came on (the one in my head?) - so up the step ladder I went again, unscrewed the fitting, took a closer look & realised that the pull cord screwed into something else. Fixed it. Job done, as they say. What a relief. Can you imagine that fan running all day? Rang Bob back to say problem solved.
But I did have a very pleasant workshop a bit later in the morning - crochet again! - it really has lifted off & the ladies are doing such beautiful work.
As I drove home from the workshop & a bit of shopping the second problem arose, I thought the car was handling a little different. When I got home & took a look around the car I found I had an almost flat tyre. I showed it to Bob & we sought out our portable tyre inflater - but it didn't hold the pressure.
We looked on the web at Kwikfit but it didn't look like they could come out all that quick - or should that be kwik!!!
We contacted Gareth - the other son - (family in joke) - & he came round & changed the wheel for me. Many, many thanks Gareth. You are a star. So tomorrow I need to find a tyre fitter & get the spare wheel sorted. Don't you just love cars?
Tomorrow evening it is the Mold October meeting & they have a visit from Caroline. I spoke to her a little earlier & everything seems OK. It is also the day for my monthly lunch - so a bit busy. I hope that I will have some time to get some of those poinsettias stamped & die cut so that I can continue with my Christmas cards.
Hope your day was less stressful - more tomorrow. Night night.
