At least, he should come along for our annual boiler maintenance check at some point before 12.30. I find these vague windows somewhat unhelpful. When does "before 12.30" actually start? If I get in the shower at 8 am I risking having to greet him in a towel and with shampoo in my hair (cue 70s porn music - wacka wacka wacka)? How about at 8.30? The Albert delivery service lets you choose a 2-hour window, which is much more helpful -- although I always end up getting a little nervous when there's 10 minutes left on the clock and it's the day before Christmas. Are they going to deliver my food? Am I going to have to survive on tins of exploding pickled fish and the half-used pack of dried lentils in the cupboard? They've not failed me yet though. And, to be fair, neither have the lovely people at Gok (the gasmen). I am eternally grateful for them coming out to repair our boiler a couple of years ago and restoring hot water and increasing the pressure in the shower. I am not happy if I can't have a tip-top shower first thing in the morning -- and an unhappy Dumpling at 7.30 is not a pretty sight.
Enough rambling. Time to get on with some real work.
