Expecting...

... nothing exciting really, but I am due a visit from the Gas Man today who I'd called up since our boiler has started to play up considerably, consistently locking out and resulting in having no hot water or no heat at the most arduous of times (mainly first thing in the morning or in the evening when all one wants to do is soak in a steamy bath and forget the troubles of the day).

As well as the gas man, I've also got to stay in the house as Phil is expecting delivery of a new phone. It's taken some effort, but finally he is now on a tariff whereby he will actually be able to speak to people without it costing a fortune. He's also got a new phone with the package (RAZR like mine) so that means that he will have more than the hour talk time he gets with his old samsung, which runs out of juice quicker than a Cadillac eldorado doing 90 mph on the freeway.

Things go well though, the phone arrives early and then the gas man turns up way before he's due to and spends 20 minutes doing a temporary fix on the boiler so that it will run until he can get the new circuit board which is required - hopefully that will be installed on Thursday afternoon.

That leaves me the afternoon free, and so I go to town to post a parcel to a friend who has just had a baby and also take a gander around the shops. I've seen 2 nice frames that I think we can use to put Phils wax pictures in, but I'm not sure of the sizes so they will have to wait for another day when I've measured the pictures and can be sure they'll look ok in the frames.

Back home and there isn't much to do, so I occupy myself with a bit of tidying (saving the big clean for the weekend) and generally chatting to friends online.

Hard life for me.... ;)
