Stuff just doesn't happen

The beds didn't arrive, the electrician hasn't sorted the AGA, or fixed the lighting, we can't get the information necessary to apply for our "Feed In Tarrif" so we're not getting paid for the electricity we generate and we can't get the bank to provide evidence that we exist so we are not getting paid our entitlement for the "Renewable Heat Incentive". So, we've done our bit by paying out an enormous amount of money and nobody else does their job and we cannot get our entitlements.

Rant out of the way.

There is an exception. Simon, the joiner, continues to be completely reliable and maintains his highest quality. He has laid three quarters of the wood floor to the Morning Room (Dining Room but you'll get used to it!). It looks brilliant and feels so warm.





Despite being a week late the carpet is laid in Jackson's room, the furniture is in and we have fixed up his TV. This completes all of the carpeting.

Once we manage to fit curtains and doors (particularly to the bathroom) we might be fit to welcome visitors.



On the subject of TVs we have some. Andrew has had his way and we have the most ridiculously expensive one in the Drawing Room (Lounge but you'll get used to it) together with an amazing sound system. No wires and he loves it.

The garden is looking tidy but bare although the views are as breathtaking as ever.
