She's been to Romford twice and that's not a quick trip, to the surgery and then onto plunder Borough Market for gifts.. meanwhile, I've been home alone with a mouse and LBC radio. No time for the garden, it has been 'pretty' wet though, to say the least, she's complained of soggy feet.. more than once!
The man from the local Town Hall department is coming to measure for damp, for they, the department, are NOT pleased to know that the exterior repairs have not been done yet, although they were ordered to be done last November by the head managing agents of the Welcome Trust Foundation Estate.
OI VEY.. sparks are surely going to fly, that's for sure!
I am afraid that I have nothing of any great importance or scandalous gossip to tell you, she's meeting Pat tomorrow before weigh-in at 11.30am for coffee in Fulham and I'll report back with her weight and she says she's going to give us the lubbly-jubbly recipe that she tried two weekends ago.
She has a package that she must post tomorrow to Faith for Freddie, he'll be eight on July 4th, he and his two sisters, Poppy and Charlotte, are growing upwards as fast as les petites who live upstairs, the upstairs girls are off somewhere doing Duke of Edinburgh Award stuff this week.
She's had some gruesome nights of not sleeping.. ugh. So she bought half a kilo of turkey meat on Saturday, she's doesn't care if it's an old wives tale or not, it DOES help her get to sleep and stay that way.. asleep. L.Tryptophan and Seratonin being good guys. That and a big glass of goaty milk, for lots of calcium!
I LURVE that finely sliced Turkey meat and she'd rolled a slice up which I found on my plate when she zoomed out at some ungodly hour this morning! She only came back with a bit of goaty milk, some cheese and ONE Library book! Heaven knows what she'd been up to all day long for seven hours, but it wasn't playing the fool with me, that's for sure!
But it's almost 9.00pm and we're going to bed early, she's got to get paperwork organised for the Town Hall man whose coming on Tuesday, she has everything that's of vital importance but she has to put stickers on various papers to indicate which paper refers to which part of the flat.
She's 100% sure that the cause of the BIG trouble, which everyone is trying hard to avoid dealing with, is the mains water pipe into the house.. it goes up and over her bathroom window inside into tanking, the tanking had to be replaced but it, of course, did not stop the leakage which is, she sure, coming from this pipe.. it is the original pipe and it was put in in 1889, so it's old!
Anyway.. the exterior and the interior wall directly underneath and around this pipe are showing signs of severe damage being caused by damp. They don't want to 'deal' with it because it will be one hell of a job, in work terms and the cost of the work.
PLUS it involves completely stripping out our bathroom.. back to the bare bricks and taking out the window, over which this old pipe goes, then seeing how far into the house but still in our flat, the damage on this big pipe goes.. AND, it will affect everyone in the house above us with the loss of their water supply. Not us, we are on a different supply.
So that's all I have to impart in the form of news.. pretty dull, I'm afraid.. but hey, it didn't rain today.
GeeGee Parrot.

I am confined to a lovely rehab facility after a partial knee replacements a few days ago, just like the one I had on the right knee 2 years ago. I am healing fine and will go home in a few days. I've been watching you all to see how the vote would go, and I was pretty surprised to read the outcome. Will you be affected directly? I wish you
ReplyDeletewell in any event. Cheers!🌞
