Just after 3pm yesterday I phoned the council about the plumbers visit. This has been rumbling on ever since we moved in 8 years ago, they replaced a very corroded toilet, but left the old cistern. I cannot remember how many times we have asked to have the cistern replaced. On Dec 19th I was told it would be done a week on Friday. Of course it did not happen, the workers were on their extended Christmas break, returning to work on Tuesday, so I concluded that the work would take place yesterday!! I rang and was told that the toilet was not in stock but would be on Tuesday so the work will be carried out on Wednesday next week......... I can hardly contain myself.
Its a very dark wet morning, most depressing..... I just cannot wait for the lighter nights to kick in, I hate the winter. Snow is ok as long as I do not have to go out in it.
Friend called round yesterday, she bought 2 book marks to give to people for Christmas, one of the friends she gave them too have contacted her and asked if she can get more.......so it looks like I will be doing lace bookmarks....... they are one of the things I was going to do for the fair, so might do a dozen or so over and above what is ordered. I do need to try and source some cellophane bags to put stuff in. they look so much better than things just being chucked in a basket for people to paw through.
I have a shoulder of lamb I am going to cook tomorrow, So I need to put slivers of garlic under the skin into the meat and then marinade it in red wine. Cannot decide whether to cook it in the combi microwave or in the Ninja, I could steam roast it.
Supper tonight is bacon frittata and salad. We might have ice cream as a dessert.
