Goodness me! We had another contractor here at 09.30am today, they were more detailed about the works that are being scheduled for our flat and they also involve the wall in the hall just behind the front door.
She spoke with a member of Environmental Health.. aka EH.. at the Town Hall and they're giving her access to all the files they hold on the flat.
This will help to identify which team of builders chopped off the pipe in the outer wall as the letters and emails about this will give the date of the work and with that, the EH dept will be able to go to the freeholders and ask them "which team of builders did you employ to do this work".. which has led to the building being so badly damaged damaged as the level of workmanship was so dreadful!
Then we heard that Roy, husband of Ann, our two lovely friends in Streatham has had a stroke! Oh, how scary for poor Roy and poor Ann. What a thing, she'll be calling them tomorrow.
Victoria Wood died yesterday.. oi vey.. aged 62. A wonderful star of the entertainment world, actress, writer, a brilliant comedienne and Prince died today.. another oi vey.. aged 57.
She dragged the three large trunks out from underneath the bed frame and pulled them into the back room, she doesn't want them to go into storage and when we move out to.. we don't know where.. she will take some clothes with her and the rest will be taken out of the cupboards and put into the back room.
The door will be locked and the door sealed with masking tape.. you don't want clothes covered in dirty old plaster and brick dust, I can assure you. Likewise with her walk-in cupboard. "At least a month" this contractor said "but we will probably take five including the redecoration and doing the reinstallation of the cupboard, bookshelves and electrics, radiator etc".
She sent an email to the freeholder asking them to let her know where she will be living during this length of time.. they haven't replied yet.. but they will when they get a letter from the EH dept of our borough which is Kensington & Chelsea, that's for sure! They're not the swiftest folk to do serious and important repairs, so the EH dept have fought and won many a battle for her, they know the freeholders well and hold a 'pretty' low opinion of them.
So we're just a tad discombobulated and I am in disgrace 'cos I've nibbled feathers on top of my shoulder blades. They were glossy feathers but now they look strange, to put it politely. But we'll be back to our normal cheerful selves soon and I'll post you scrummy ways of cooking tatties.
GeeGee Parrot.
