Heating, Culling, Drinks On Patio

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.
