This morning I'd have very much liked to have either stayed in bed with my book, or had a very long bubble bath with said book. I've resumed my favourite series after a break - Games of Thrones was too similar in content for me to watch that and still read the book, so I had set it aside. I'm so pleased to be back in its world :)
However, reality bites and as it's a day between holidays I knew I needed to get things fixed whilst those who could help me were working. The garden needed a good clear in order to have the roofing people come through to tell me that the whole side needs re-pointing - they've removed the 4 hanging free before today's wind sent those spiralling too and will replace those and the smashed one, and re-cement the edges next week.
My handy boyfriend sorted the leak in the kitchen but a new part is needed and I'm already missing my dishwasher. I've been out and purchased the required part and am tempted to fit it myself.
Hopefully the fun will resume this afternoon, there's still plenty of puzzle left and if I can, I'll escape to Buckkeep :)
You know that wonderful feeling when you've fixed something? I got that feeling several times, followed shortly after by discovering it hadn't quite worked. Kind man at local shop gave me additional needed part for free. I hopefully have both washing machine and dishwasher functioning again now, but I don't trust how long it will last. Will get a handy man to check methinks...
