That was the day

that was......... late Wednesday night Tim from Woodseats Sewing Machines sent a message to say he would come and sort the machine out at home. I was so grateful, more about that later.

9.30 Morrison arrived with a grocery order. checked and put away.

10.15 Tim arrived, checked the machine and having ascertained that the feed dogs were not coming up as they should, started to take the machine bed to bits, checked everyting and it was all working except the feed dogs. He did mention that the machine was very clean, very little 'fluff' mmost of which was where I could not reach it. Eventually he decided to move the mechanics actually out of the arm to check the back of the feed dogs.......bingo........ the little bit that should spring back lifting the feed dogs wasn't doing so. Very gently eased back he tested it and it moved across as it should, a tiny spot of oil and a few tests and it was moving freely again. Tim admitted he had never seen that before......so one for the memory. Everything put back together. machine tested and away he went. 

I was so grateful that Tim made time to come down personally, he is the owner of Woodseats, Yes I have spent a lot of money with them, but Woodseats customer service is second to none. He spoke to DB, the reason I could not take the machine up as I have done previously, because DB would not have been able to take the journey there and back.

Years ago an engineer would come to the house and service a machine, but in these days of complicated computer machines it is something that is no longer done. Tim did say that he would take the machine back up if he could not sort it, thankfully he did.

So after the mornings excitement our next visitor was the physio to see DB, like the consultant she was amazed at the progress DB has made, she took him through some exercises to strengthen DB's muscles and off she went.

I was shattered.......

So today I have the washer on with a half load, its sunny so it should dry ok. Gardener due this afternoon, DB is going to get T to move the laege composter so I can photograph it and put it on Gumtree. There is also a jam pan to go and a couple of other small things.

Its fish and chip night so an easy supper, there is chocolate mousse for dessert.
