One off maximum

The plumbers called off again today. They’re claiming that the pressure problem is due to the surveyor’s design, so won’t come back until he approves a change.

At lunchtime, I duck into Peebles and tour the charity shops. I pick up some useful kitchen stuff, but there’s still a lot on my list. I’ll probably have to do an IKEA run.

Another public meeting, tonight in West Linton. I get there in plenty of time only to find I’ve forgotten my laptop. Naomi hills the fort while I rush back to get it, arriving with minutes to spare.

It’s a small group, which is disappointing, but they’re engaged and make lots of suggestions. It’s clear that it will take plenty more work to get a significant level of support.

I get a pack of pakora from the coop, Light the fire when I get home, and break out a beer.
