Sunny Day
The sun is out the sky is blue and I'm stuck inside working. I had hoped to have today off as the carpenter wasn't coming until Tuesday and I was all ready for him, everything on schedule that is until Thursday when we had a telephone call from him. Is it ok to arrive at 8am Monday? MONDAY arrrgh help, I couldn't really say no as we have been waiting for him to come for 5 months now and you know how temperamental some French workers can be. If I said no then maybe he would come Tuesday but not finish anything as he only has a week so maybe the extra day could be a good thing. So with a smile in our voices we say; "of course its ok, not a problem see you Monday" put the phone down and then panic. I have to finish the plastering a day earlier and seal under the doors where the new floor is going as I can't get to them once the floor is down! On top of that the boiler has decided to play up again and is depositing fluid all over the cellar floor because a radiator has sprung a leak. That plumber is dead if I see him again.
At least I can have a cup of tea and a slice of cake in the sun later as a reward and can listen to the Welsh/Scottish rugby match on the internet so life isn't all bad.

Ha! That's really funny. I like the way you bring out the natural comedy of things that happen to all of us. I can almost see your furious expression at the plumber's incompetence.
