He needs feeding up, Lu. He was looking a bit thin last time I saw him.

That was before he went on the kebab diet

The windows have come! The windows of come!

Only 10 working days late...

All the way from Germany...

Tomorrow we find out if they fit...

Fingers crossed.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

First trials of my new woolly hat proved a success today. Tomorrow I may get a chance to conduct on-bike tests.

The cars were already frosting up by 4:30 this afternoon. But it was mercifully wind free.

And if they don't?

 

[Oxo]

The building I worked in one time was refurbished and the new windows came from Poland. The fitters, local guys, fitted them upside down. They view was just the same but opening them was problematic.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

And if they don't?

GG has the fit, I'd guess.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

And if they don't?

We, like many a home owner on Grand Designs, will not have a watertight house for Xtmas*, and will have to start over. At least we don't have to pay for them until they are fitted.

*Xtmas Chez Grumpy will have to be cancelled, re-located or otherwise re-worked.

More mundaneness, I've just eaten a sardine batch and I'm now eating an apple.

It is also a seaside home...

How can you eat a sardine seaside home?

 

[GrumpyGregry]

GG has the fit, I'd guess.

I remain sanguine, albeit the building works are nearly five months late come Friday, somewhat* over budget, and living with a two ring baby belling on top of the washing machine, which is in what used to be the dining room, in what passes for a kitchen, has become tedious.

*this is a euphemism but percentage wise the cost over run is tiny compared with the time over run.

Not so much a euphemism, more of a little white litotes.

Still well within my contingency. Well over tlh's thobut.

But tlh's budget was somewhat* unrealistic.

I'm sat here with a plate full of hot crumpets, and a cup of . Plus the avon lady has called round.

 

[Lullabelle]

Started watching Rillington Place, slow, dark and dreary, have given up. I like Tim Roth but this isn't something I could continue to watch.

That new lippy really suits you, Dave...

Ssshhh, don't tip my Good Lady off, she thinks its for her.
