Nineteen

I give thanks I felt better for staying indoors yesterday, though it did mean I missed my gong bath which was rather a shame. Today I had to go out come hell or high water...and there was a bit of both of those! I give thanks for winning battles with aches and pains and wind and rain and user hostile online forms. For giving up gracefully with other matters after wearing myself out getting meds and diy supplies just in case suddenly I can or I find someone who is willing... For the last double glazing chap of the week. For a hot water bottle and sofa and throw.

I give thanks I have found a kitchen unfitter. I didn't know they existed outside my head but there really are people who remove built in appliances for a job it seems and this one specialises in doing just that and associated remedial work so you aren't left with gaps and holes. He proposes to make good the wall where the horrid fan and cupboards are after too and replace a socket and the row of tiles that will be mutilated - and all within a reasonable price and timescale. One is a mite excited! I give thanks Clive (who fits kitchens) is going to see if he can find a bit of spare worktop for where the hob is now.
