Bitty

Just a miscellaneous day. Poppydog and I plodded up The Lawley; we were rewarded with wonderful views of a gold and brown landscape (the brown was quite whiffy) and a couple of walkers who were suitably enthusiastically greeted by Pd.

The electrician came from the electicty provider so we can now isolate our outside power source and get a normal electrician in to replace the temperamental fuse board. I'm not going to begin to tell you how ridiculously convoluted it has been to get the power company to do a simple job, but it involved much swearing and long.menu driven phone calls. Anyway, it's now sorted.

We wrestled with the old sofa, just managing to squeeze it (and a finger or two) through the door to its new habitat in the kitchen/dining area. The new sofa was delivered on time as promised by John Lewis and Poppydog was shooed away - until later when we had our evening flob together.

Took Pd to hydrotherapy; lovely for her to cool off in the pool but she had to have her food late as a consequence as she's not supposed to eat an hour prior. Given she's on reduced rations you can imagine the plaintive looks I got - I felt the worst owner in the world (so, job done, Pd!).

My good intention was to file old and special cards etc in a scrap book. Everything out to just stick in, but it didn't happen - never the right amount of time available.
