I have grown rather tired of focussing on our heating problems, but now I will say that throughout our cold spell two of our radiators on the ground floor have not worked at all; all we have had beside my chair is one plug in electric radiator.
This morning Dan from Norman’s Heating visited to check over the whole system. He is 80% certain that the problem had been caused by “mistakes” in installation. Floorboards need to be lifted upstairs to investigate this. If he is right that can be fixed on the day of inspection. I won’t go into further details until this has been carried out, but remembering what happened on the day these radiators were put in suggests to me that he is correct.
Afterwards I read more of ‘The Cunning Man’, then culled all but two of the photographs in
One is shown above; The other is today’s header.
Although it was cool this was the first day we had been able to enjoy fishing fruit flies from our drinks, listening to delightful birdsong, admiring the spring flowers, on the patio.
This evening we dined on pork casserole, carrots, new potatoes, and runner beans, with which I drank Valle de Eco Malbec 2024.
Mm, dinner sounds delicious! Have you guys considered installing a forced-air heating and cooling system? I assume you are burning oil.
Delightful photos of baby you and your grownup garden. I am envious of you and Jackie having drinks on the patio–though it is almost warm enough here today.
I hope you get the heater problem sorted out!
I am very sorry for your heating problems, and I hope they are solved soon and easily.
Heating problems are no fun (thankfully, it is not the deat of winter, but still). Your garden is so lovely in spring!
Hopefully your heating problems soon end.
If fruit flies are here can Summer be far behind? Good luck on getting the heating problems resolved. (It’s been quite the journey.)
Today’s header photo is absolutely adorable. Man oh man, those heating problems just won’t go away. Best of luck.
Sorry about your heating problems Derrick.
Beautiful photo on the header
Thumbs down on the ongoing heating dilemma but thumbs up on everything else. Your garden is gorgeous! I’m happy to hear you’ve been spending time together with drinks on the patio. Ahhhhhh
Praying the heating is finally sorted. The garden is looking beautiful.
Oh dear, roll on summer.
