Sunny

and quite warm, after two very grey days.

Been to Aldi, small shop, just some essentials to see us through to Monday. Shattered...DB has just brought me a cup of tea, very welcome.

Coffee morning went off ok, just 8 of us there this time. B told us that builders were coming to replace the last of the chapel windows for double glazed ones and also change the porch so the door is in the middle not as it is now, at the side. I need to take a couple of photos before the work starts.

Neighbour is doing very well, her daughter arrives from Spain tomorrow, so I can stand down a bit. Looking forward to a couple of days away.

Last night we watched a programme we recorded on Sunday night, it was about the slum conditions some people have been forced to live in, I was appalled, people in this country should not have to live in houses full of damp and mould, what made it worse was that they are council or housing association properties!! The tenants had reported the problems but very little or nothing had been done to alleviate the problems. People from the councils and housing associations who appeared on the programme said they were sorry......That is just not enough, talk about shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted, thats not in it. It upset me so much I had a problem sleeping. How lucky we are that we live in a bungalow which is maintained by the council. We are warm and dry and do not have a problem with any damp.

Supper tonight is the last of the quiche with some salad and finish off the rasps in jelly.
