On Saturday the standard textual content message arrived to remind me to learn the electrical meter and ship the readings. I do all of it on the cellphone and located that the governments £66 had gone into my account and my new invoice was a wee bit much less, so I am £1 and some pence in credit score.
All of it sounds excellent would not it? In actuality it is probably not good in any respect as a result of it means my invoice for October was £64 ………..double that of the identical month final 12 months, regardless that I would used much less electrical. Thank goodness it has been such a gentle month the oil central heating has hardly been wanted in any respect, and as there was extra oil left after they transferred it to the brand new tank than I believed, I am ordering 800 litres moderately than 1,000. It ought to final me ages as a result of this 12 months as quickly because it will get colder for longer through the day, I will be lighting the wood-burner as an alternative of clicking up the goal temperature.
Brother-in-Regulation Andrew got here to assist me transfer mattresses – mine again into my ‘new’ room and the spare again into the spare bed room. I obtained him to assist me shift two cabinets whereas he was right here too. He additionally cleared away the three posts and damaged trellis that had been across the outdated heating oil tank after which tackled some massive lumps of concrete and bricks that have been underneath the sand that had been underneath the outdated tank. Presumably they have been left over from the Nineteen Eighties when there would have been a steel heating oil tank standing on brick piers. Better of all he introduced me a bag of logs break up small to make use of on prime of the kindling in my range. With nothing to make use of between small kindling and huge logs getting the fireplace going was taking an age.( The wooden he’d break up for me was a bit of what he’d cleared out of Clay Cottage wooden shed almost two years in the past – he’d not used it as a result of it is willow which he reckons is fairly ineffective!)
I then spent the remainder of Saturday beginning to put every thing indoors again in it is rightful place – so good to get again to regular and tidy.
It was choice time on Sunday morning – ought to I’m going right down to the second day of the Massive NSPCC second-hand ebook sale in Colchester or not? Really it wasn’t a tough choice…….. After all I went!
It was a really moist journey down – completely pouring – nevertheless it solely takes 40 minutes so not too dangerous. I would by no means been to the second day, all the time queued for ages with the crowds to get in early on the Saturday so it was unusual to search out how quiet it was and naturally lots of the containers of books have been half empty, I discovered a number of – nevertheless it’s extra in regards to the trying and looking out than the discovering (that is my story anyway!) and there’s nowhere else with such an enormous assortment of outdated books to look by means of.
I used to personal the Self Reliance ebook however so a few years in the past I would forgotten what’s in it and the identical with the John Seymour. The one by Margery Allingham is a ebook I’ve heard of however by no means owned or learn and Scenes from a Provincial Life by William Cooper and the ebook of Christmas Card Poems are each books I’ve by no means seen earlier than.
Bought dwelling in loads of time to do extra shifting, clearing, cleansing and tidying. Nearly every thing is the place it needs to be once more.
